Latest version: 0.1
Release date: 01/18/2011 - 18:54
Note: this is NOT an official expansion and is not connected to the proposed "World of Goo 2."
This is the Chapter 1 Beta. It currently overrides Chapter 2 so as not to conflict with other mods.
CHAPTER 2 NOW RELEASED! VERSION ALPHA! 
Changelog: first version, according to DaB:
1) GooTool does NOT like the empty text.xml.xsl in the merge folder.. and comes up with an error.
Just delete that file from the goomod.
2) More a "hint" than a problem
If you change addin.xml to be type mod and remove the whole tag... and everything inside it...
Then GooTool won't add the "Do Not Click This" Button to chapter 1
3) The island2.xml.xsl doesn't work quite right... and the game crashes when you click to enter chapter 2
Problem:
Because you've got the changes to the island attributes (island="island1X") in one and the adding of the level info in another....
The first template runs, and changes the island="", but then the second one runs, copies the original island data again, and adds the level info.
The result is... the levels get added, but the island=".." doesn't get changed.
Solution: Combine the 2 templates into one.
4) Space Junk level crashes at the start...
Missing res/music/Jelly <- is not an original file and is not included
original file is temp_jelly
{edit}
5) Through the Mist crashes at the start...
Missing res/images/backgrounds/space <- probably custom image
and res/sounds/loops/loop_strongwind <- moved? copied? into a loops subfolder
the original loop_strongwind is just in the res/sounds folder
6) Landing.. crashes at the start...
helium ball is missing from goomod.
7) Sandbox1 ... crashes at the start...
Missing res/images/backgrounds/space ... again
and missing custom material trampoline
So.. on the XSL... difficult to explain in words what you need to change so...
island1X
Island 1 from World of Goo-Another Planet
....
You see the difference? It uses just one tag, copies island changing the 2 attributes then appends the new level info "in one go". You'll still need the "copy everything not matched" bit at the top, and the rest of the level info and the closing tags in your version.
Now... I've spotted another "problem"...
The StarDustRoad music from Super Mario Galaxy.. it's probably copyrighted so distributing it is illegal without a license or the original author's permission.
If you have either of those things, or can prove that it's copyright-free or that you are complying with it's licensing terms.... then OK
Otherwise you'll have to remove it and use something else.
And finally.. (I hope)....
You've also managed to hit a "sleeping grump" of mine, that's come up a few times before ... but you've just poked it with a very big stick... sorry.
Although... it's your own fault really... for being a bit lazy and adding the whole of the images/backgrounds and sounds/loops folders to your goomod when you only really needed to add 1 file from each....
{Edit - decided to take the problem public... since its does / could affect a lot of people, and I'm not sure what the long term solution is...}
see http://goofans.com/forum/world-of-goo/modding/1733
I can't be sure but I suspect you might have fallen into the trap yourself.. you have installed some mods that added renamed original files, then you've used them in your levels thinking they were originals... and the problem grows...
For you the simplest solution will be...
Change the paths of the level resources to point to the "real" original files, and remove all the renamed / moved copies of the original files from your goomod.
I think this list is complete..
res/images/backgrounds/cave1 => res/levels/HangLow/bg
res/images/backgrounds/space => res/movie/Chapter5End/space_bg
res/music/Jelly => res/music/temp_jelly
res/music/LastofTheGooBalls => res/music/alwaysdestroythethingsilove(excerpt)
res/sounds/loops/loop_strongwind => res/sounds/loop_strongwind
That should knock the goomod size down to about 800kb and will hopefuly prevent this problem from getting out of hand.
Thanks

Cool!.... Looks Great!
Found a few problems, nothing MAJOR yet... but first a tip....
You should always test your goomods on a "virgin" install.... especially if they are "big".. and especially if they are "hand-made"
Best way I've found...
Delete / rename your current GooTool Modded folder, then run GooTool with just your goomod active. This ensures that you get a modded folder which ONLY contains the original files, plus whatever your goomod adds / changes.. and you get to test it in "exactly" the state it will be for other players.
Read on....
1) GooTool does NOT like the empty text.xml.xsl in the merge folder.. and comes up with an error.
Just delete that file from the goomod.
2) More a "hint" than a problem
If you change addin.xml to be type mod and remove the whole <levels> tag... and everything inside it...
Then GooTool won't add the "Do Not Click This" Button to chapter 1
3) The island2.xml.xsl doesn't work quite right... and the game crashes when you click to enter chapter 2
Problem:
Because you've got the changes to the island attributes (island="island1X") in one <template> and the adding of the level info in another....
The first template runs, and changes the island="", but then the second one runs, copies the original island data again, and adds the level info.
The result is... the levels get added, but the island=".." doesn't get changed.
Solution: Combine the 2 templates into one.
4) Space Junk level crashes at the start...
Missing res/music/Jelly <- is not an original file and is not included
original file is temp_jelly
{edit}
5) Through the Mist crashes at the start...
Missing res/images/backgrounds/space <- probably custom image
and res/sounds/loops/loop_strongwind <- moved? copied? into a loops subfolder
the original loop_strongwind is just in the res/sounds folder
6) Landing.. crashes at the start...
helium ball is missing from goomod.
7) Sandbox1 ... crashes at the start...
Missing res/images/backgrounds/space ... again
and missing custom material trampoline
Dude!.. You really shoulda used WooGLE to make the level goomods like I said...
It would have automatically included ALL this missing stuff!

How can I fix island2.xml.xsl? I don't know XSL, I just copied from Experimental Levels and Island 1 Expander

So.. on the XSL... difficult to explain in words what you need to change so...
<xsl:template match="/island"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <!-- Better map from my game :) --> <xsl:attribute name="map">island1X</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="name">Island 1 from World of Goo-Another Planet</xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates/> <!-- Append new levels from MY GAME :D --> <level id="ZeroG" name="LEVEL_NAME_ZEROG" text="LEVEL_TEXT_ZEROG" ocd="time,34"/> ....Now... I've spotted another "problem"...

Thanks, I'll add that XSL. I think the background images in one folder is a good idea because it makes it easy for me to find ones I need, also some have been Photoshopped from the originals. Example, Oil Spill uses Orange2, similar to sky_orangestripes or whatever in levelimages. (I've also edited the C1End cutscene and am working on the others, so C5End/space_bg might not still be there at the end). The loops...I don't know what happened there, I was feeling tired so I just copied the whole folder in.
About the Super Mario Galaxy music:
I own a copy of the game, and this music is available for free online (on YouTube here are the search hits). I assumed that because they were giving it away I could use it as long as I gave credit.
I know it's YouTube, but there are limits there: someone uploaded the entire soundtrack from another game and got thir account deleted in 5 minutes, but all these have been up for a long time.

I understand WHY you did it... the problem is whilst it is easier for you, it looks like its going to start causing "us" no end of problems....
I think I've come up with a way that will solve it to everyone's satifaction, but it'll take a couple of days to get the changes made to WooGLE / WooBLE.
My Suggestion.. for now... make the changes to the 5 resources I mentioned above... so they point to the original files, not your renamed / copied ones.
Then you will be able to completely remove the images/backgrounds and sounds/loops folders from the goomod because you won't be using ANY of those files in the demo.
If my idea works out, then by the time you come to do the "final" / "next" version of AP... WooGLE will be able to sort all this out for you.
Re: SuperMarioGalaxy
Well you can't really rely on .. if it's been on youtube for a while, then it's OK.
Not sure that'd go down well in court....
The OST "documentation".. CD cover / License agreement whatever.. should tell you whether you are allowed to distribute it, and if so whether you need to quote the "source" / "author" or whatever...
If you can dig it out and post it here, or find it on the internet anywhere... let us know... if it looks "OK" then there's no problem including it.
{Edit}
Oh.. and..
No problem at all with modified / new files.. or files that replace an existing image (like the ones you've used in C1End)...
Our problem is with exact copies of original files with different names or in different folders .. it's kinda pointless / possibly illegal and makes goomod far larger than they need to be.. 800kb vs 7.4MB for example.

Re: Mario Galaxy Music
Maybe you can find something like it remade and put on the internet under the creative commons license or something similar.
e.g. on www.newgrounds.com is much (user-made and free to use) videogame related music.

Hmm... Very nice!
Just a question: On MapWorldView, is it really supposed to display the black windmill image behind the cloud-and-goo image? It looks really odd...
And the text in the final vid is the same as the original game...but that's hardcoded into the movie, right?
Overall, very good! I liked the different features of stuff you added in... you have a good imagination! Bravo!

Always have at least 3 levels in the work shop (Woogle)!
Mon, 09/20/2010 - 04:59
Ahh you naive trusting silly person....
He's got most of it...
Although for some reason hasn't changed it to a mod type, so you still get the level button in Chapter 1 with the.. "You shouldn't have clicked this" message..
and the renamed copies of the music files are still there...
but hey!... close enough for a demo!
Oh.. and... @AP Re: Chapter5End/space_bg
Even if you change the movie, and remove that file on your system, GooTool will still copy it to the modded folder for everyone else...
Goomods can only Add or Overwrite files they can't remove them, so you can rely on the file always being there.
Mon, 09/20/2010 - 15:25
Here's a tip:
In the World of goo propeties folder, there is something called "text.xml.xml". If you decrypt it, you can see ALL the sign post,movie, and MOM data. This also has someother things in it which I have not listed. If you change what a sign says, if affects the game, because it loads up that data. If that is the case, then you could get MOM to say more things, and be able to change the text in World of goo mini movies. You can change what the Chapter 1 movie says at the end by editing this, but I do not know if this will mark you as cheater. You may want to ask the mods, as this would also be good if you wanted to make a small interactive movie yourself.

You can open XSL's the same way as XML's. Use Notepad, TextEdit, Notepad++, or any other text editor.
If you want to do the replace existing chapter thing, you can take the merge/res/islands/island2.xml.xsl from this mod and change the redirect to island1Y or island1_TM13 whatever you want

To clarify this "NO MORE CHAPTERS" thing... Err.. not true.
TM's mod said in the description....
"This is just for Albino Pokey and it's only the chapter, and the levels aren't ready yet... please publish this" or something along those lines...
Pavke said... (And i agree)
"We can't publish this... If you want to give it to AP use a file sharing site instead"
So TM's started telling everyone that the "Mods" aren't allowing ANY more chapters mods.. and getting folk "worked up"...
When actually we just didn't publish his mod because it wasn't finished... and this is not a file sharing site!
OK?

I like how you edited Chapter 2. But why does this weird island-level thing come up in Chap. 1? Also, can't you change the chapter ending text for Chap. 2 (for WoG: AP)?
And you can also get rid of those windmills if you experiment with MapWorldView. Other than those (POSSIBLE) improvements, this first chapter is great! I like how you used the Helium and other various sleeping goo on the last level. The zero-grav levels were cool too.

Fri, 09/24/2010 - 16:39
The reason I changed the C1End text is because it's really Chapter 1!
It was also easier to change the rising thing than the opening eyes.
Windmill problem...in the Dynamic MM mod it replaces the images with geometry, so a merge to delete the SceneLayers will crash the game. Working on a solution now...

@AP
I would be quite easy to make a merge that would remove the windmills and work with (or without) the dynamic mod.
If you make the xsl remove all the windmill Scenelayers and the geometry and hinges that would be there if dynamic is installed, it will work even if dynamic isn't installed.
About the only problem would be...
if Dynamic gets applied after AP (ie Dynamic is Higher in the GooTool list)..
AP will remove the geometry, but Dynamic will add them afterwards
but it shouldn't cause an errors or anything, it would just mean the windmills come back.

hey. you could override chapter 1. it won't mess up with other level mods and will still show them at the top left corner and are actually playable. i found this out when i downloaded Time For Real Mod and had level goomods installed on gootool. so you can override chapter 1 without problems. Also, i don't this mod would work with intelligent islands.

Dunno what you mean by "DavidC's merger"... but...
Actually, you'd probably be best looking at the scene.xsl from Dynamic Main Menu.
It deletes the 2 windmill Scenelayers.. so you could copy that bit directly.
And you'd just need to modify it to also delete the geom and hinges that dynamic creates in their place.
Sat, 09/25/2010 - 19:48
in my WOG2 there is NO windmills, so you could use that. (you should delete the '2' though)
