We're not sure what you're talking about here, christxz.
GooTool is a free program and has no key. As far as I know, World of Goo doesn't either. Could you please be as specific as possible? What program are you trying to run? What OS are you on? Where did you get World of Goo? etc.

Quick question that I bet will help a few others around here.
Ubuntu is a branch off Debian, so do the .deb packages work on Ubuntu?

Unfortunately, you can't. At least not at the moment. Someone might be able to hack the save data off the Wii and onto the computer.

They should also support android. WoG is released for an open-source platform so, it'll be much easier than the iPhone version.
Sat, 12/31/2011 - 17:03
The problem we currently face is that GooTool(as well as the editors we have for World of Goo)'s developer is currently inactive on this site, and I don't think they are going to port the programs anytime soon, if ever. We don't even have a recent Mac version of the level editor made, which is a shame.

Hi,
Before downloading W.O.G. on my laptop, I first was playing it on my android and through a recommendation came across your website. The other day whilst on my phone I found an article or comment as to how to make a copy of the games program file on your computer but now for the life of me I cannot find it since I have gotten the game on my laptop and also became a member of your site.
Can someone please tell me how to do this because I remember reading that it was suggested to do this prior to installing the GooTool and downloading new levels etc so that way if theres an error or a problem, it will not affect my proper version of the game and should I need to, can just revert to the original.
If someone can help me it would be much appreciated.
I have a laptop running on windows vista home premium on a 32 bit system.
Best Regards,
Lucia

Hi, Lucia! Welcome to GooFans!
The first thing you'll want to do is find your profile on your computer. I don't know what operating system you have, but we have some nformation on finding that file here.
(If you don't have a profile on the computer, at least enter your name, so that it creates the pers2.dat file. If you have progress that you want to save, copy that file somewhere safe before proceeding.)
That page also provides instructions for finding your Android profile. Copy that one to your computer's desktop or home directory.
Then you'll need to decrypt it, which you can do with GooTool. Go to Advanced > Decrypt > Bin File (Windows/Linux). I'm not sure what that will name the file, but just rename it back to pers2.dat. Now switch the encryption for your system: Advanced > Encrypt > Bin File (Your OS). Rename to pers2.dat, and copy it on top of the one you found back in Step 1.
Now launch World of Goo, and hopefully your Android profile will have replaced the old one!

I looked over what I wrote and maybe I didnt put it correctly but what I am trying to do is make a copy of the pc game file and not my player profile because I saw a post someone in Goofans around a week ago that suggested you do this before applying to GooTool or downloading levels etc, so that way if anything goes wrong or I want to revert back to the original game, I have the copy file to go back to. Thanks a lot for your help and sorry if I am spamming the comments. I am just eager to get downloading the GooTool so I can get onto playing some of the great looking levels that are available in here to play.
I dont mind having to start the game over on my pc as I want to try build the tower with the full 300 balls and not the limit of 200 as set on the android, so I dont want to port over my android data and will re-start from the beginning. Just want to copy the game itself before applying the GooTool to one of the copies.
Thanks a lot.

To Albino Pokey -
Maybe I didnt fully explain what it was I was trying to do and should have been more specific, so I have created another comment under yours with full details of what it is I am trying to do. If you or anyone who has time could look at it and get back to me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much for your help and I have copy and pasted your info to me so when I do want to port over my android data then I will know what to do, thanks to your advice. Plus I copied my profile file as you suggested but it is the actual game that I am trying to make a copy of. Whenever you can read my other comment and get back to me would be great or if you cant, thanks for the help you already gave

Ah, I see now. I totally misunderstood you. Sorry.
If you use GooTool, one of the many nice things it does is that it does this automatically. When you install custom levels or mods, they go onto a special copy of World of Goo, separate from the original.

Oh my mistake cos when I saw a post here in GooFans expaining how to make a copy of the game file itself before installing GooTool, I assumed you had to do this yourself. Sorry for all the questions but you see although I like to consider myself adequate in using computers, theres still lots I dont understand like programming, encoding, debugging or the likes and I have seen a post or two stating that files need to be changed etc to get certain things to operate. So theres just something I need to get straight in my head (if you dont mind?):
- Where will the copy file of the game go to after installing GooTool i.e. will it also be in program files?
- And as this is the game file I will be using from then on to download and play levels etc, will it be named something else?
- Lastly, will the GooTool run pretty much by itself (except for when I install levels etc) or do I have to have encoding or programming knowledge in order to be able to use it. I am eager to give all the fantastic new levels a try but dont know if I would be up to having to change file extensions or the likes cos I saw your post "Another Planet Is Coming, Download the Demo here" and I gotta say I was fine reading till about half way down and then I just got lost in all the jargon and technical talk lol.
Any advice you can give me to help me understand the above would be much appreciated but if you dont have the time, I understand and thank you so much for all your help so far.
I assure you that the things above are the only things I am questionable about and once I get them straight in my head, I can just get on with playing your levels.
Many thanks,
Lucia

Ah, no, GooTool is really nice. You don't need to merge and compile addins by hand to play them anymore, or even to make them. Daft's programs do most of the debugging for you.
The copy can go anywhere you want, but Program Files isn't a good place, since only the admin can access it. It's best to put it in Documents or the Desktop. Likewise, you can name it whatever you want.
GooTool will do most of the work for you. All you need to do to set it up (after running the installer) is to point it at two folders: your World of Goo installation, and where you want to put the modded copy. You can specify those, and anything else you want, in the Options tab. Then just double-click a goomod to install it (say "yes" when it asks if you want it or not), click "save", and your level is ready to play!
When I started making Another Planet, which is when most of the error messages and stuff in the description appeared, we didn't have things like a Goo Ball creator or an automatic goomod builder. Those problems were all caused because of little slips I made when building it by hand, which the user would need to tweak slightly.
Those don't really apply anymore, though. I've fixed the problems with it and the only thing left that might crash it is the same as with all other new chapters: you need to beat ALL of the original levels first. Otherwise the game gets confused, because it thinks it needs to put an arrow above the button for "Genetic Sorting Machine", but that button now is for "Light the Fuse", and it crashes.

To Albino Pokey:
Ah tanx a million for ALL your help and advice.
I think I've got it down pat now thanks to you.
Basically the GooTool is pretty much hassle free and will do the work and create the duplicate game file etc itself. I just need to place the duplicate game file somewhere other than in programs files and then work off the one that has the GooTool modded it and thats it, great so. The only things that il need to do after installation is download whatever levels I want but these too will also be running perfectly and so I wont encounter problems there either. But I guess from what your saying is that if I wanna try download a whole chapter of new levels then I should first make sure I have gotten a score on all the original levels prior to installation becuase otherwise the game gets confused about the placement of the completion arrows as if there is a gap in the sequence the Tool will just put them in the gap instead of on the correct level, is that right?
Well thanks for "dumming" it down for me lol cos I know you normally talk technically, so thanks for the breakdown.
You've been a great help and have made me feel very welcome to GooFans.
I love your site, take care and il speak to you later

Why I have installed Java(TM)7 Update 5 (64-bit) and the GooTool installer still ask me to install Java 1.6? Is it the problem of the 32-bit and 64-bit?

Probably. Or a badly written dependancy check.
