I have a weird glitch in the mac version: whenever i clic "create goomod" it does not show and errors, in the bottom it says something like writing dependancies, no error occurs but nothing changes as well...This has been forcing me to use the windows version for ages...
Because writing signatures is too mainstream
Sun, 07/22/2012 - 16:13
GooTool has no "create goomod" button. Are you talking about WooGLE?

Yep, unfortunately the leaderboards are down so you can't publish your profile. David is going to get them back up again as soon as the new Drupal version comes out.
Another Planet finally has an official release! Download chapters 1 through 3 here! Thank you for waiting so long while I kept starting over.

Yes, thank you for your request but GooTool doesn't support iOS yet.
Maybe we can make a converter that converts files to PC format, installs goomods and then converts back?

DavidC said he was working on it, but I'm not sure if it works at all yet.

Where do you find your profile in Gootool and where is it located on your desktop?

I wanna be able to see the number of gooballs collected but it doesn't show and I was really upset, so can anyone tell me how I can see the number of goo balls I collected? I'm new here by the way.

You have to locate gootool to your WorldOfGoo.exe. Then it will show your profile.

Ok.... this is unusual..... I recently got a new computer and switched it to windows 7 from 8.... (cause 8 is evil), and now I downloaded GooTool again to go back to modding and it says it needs to install Java 6.... but I have Java 7 installed.... it's as if GooTool hasn't been developed to install to the newest versions of Java... but there's another problem... cause when I try to install Java 6 to install GooTool it doesn't work and crashes.... So I'm now in a loop of trying to install GooTool, but it won't cause it doesn't have the right version of Java, then installing Java... and it crashing cause I already have the newest version... sigh... I really really want to get back to working on Earth Of Goo.... how can I fix this paradoxical circle of events?!?
EDIT: Even weirder.... I skipped the install step for Java 6 and GooTool installed anyway and works fine. So nevermind then. Crisis averted.
For those wondering, Earth of Goo is still being worked on, but not as often. It will be finished! Check out my website/YouTube @ScarletFury!

GooTool installer will make you install Java no matter what.

Yes, but it installs Java version 6.... not the latest (version 7).... so because of that it went in a crazy crash cycle of me trying to install it (when I have version 7 of Java) and then it trying to install version 6 and then saying it can't..... and then not letting me do it, but I was able to cancel the install for Java and the rest of GooTool installed fine.... so.... perhaps they should update GooTool to automatically update to the latest version of Java? That'd be nice.

The GooTool installer (which I didn't write) is looking for Java 6. Java 7 didn't exist at the time and probably isn't being detected properly. If you can skip the installation of Java 6, GooTool itself should run fine on Java 7.
Wed, 12/18/2013 - 00:43
Yes, I was able to skip it and it runs fine, I'm just mentioning it for future versions and others who may experience the same problem..... it could be really irritating or confusing for them.

when i open gootool it opens at the after of the monitor
get my level

Tue, 02/04/2014 - 14:16
I believe GooTool tries to centre itself on the primary monitor, but it's been a while since this code was written so it may well choose the wrong monitor. If you can't see it, close the program, open up GooTool's settings (varies depending on OS) and amend the gootool_window_position setting. Format, as far as I remember, is top-left-x,top-left-y,width,height.

Hmm, that may depend on the browser you're using. It should be saving to your Downloads folder, but if you're downloading it and it's not there, the only thing I can immediately think of is that your antivirus is flagging it and not letting you download it.

well this exists so hi
Tue, 03/10/2015 - 07:25
Since I can log on to goofans through GooTool just fine (just checked, backed up profiles, the works), I'd say the error message means what it says.
Either that or the space in your username prevents GooTool from operating properly.

Once I download gootool nothing happens, it goes into a window then downloads Java 1.6 then nothing happens!
this website is probably very old and barren but if anyone could help me I would be grateful
Mon, 06/22/2015 - 05:33
You should be downloading a GooTool installer package that you can navigate to your downloads folder and launch? What browser/OS are you on?

It doesn't run on macOS Sierra (the latest version)
Might need a recompile with modern Eclipse (or Java? I don't know how it works.) which I doubt is going to happen.
Mon, 05/01/2017 - 10:11
The source code is available for download above. I can't vouch for it compiling in a recent version of Java and I don't have access to any Macs any more.

Where can I get older versions of GooTool? Where it overrides Chapter 5 rather than 1.
It's been... how many years? Man, I feel old.
Tue, 01/02/2018 - 08:52
The download button, instead of taking you to the download starting page, takes you to the this comment section for what ever reason. Please tell me why this is or fix this.

You need to create an Online ID. This happens automatically if you:
a) Complete a level and turn on "submit to World of Goo leaderboard" at the end of the level
or
b) Go to World of Goo Corporation and click "connect"
Or, if the 2D Boy servers are down, there is a menu option in GooTool to generate an online ID.

I have a problem, you may notice that, world of goo files are now in "game" folder...
GooTool says "D:\Games\WorldOfGoo\properties\config.txt can't be found." and then it closes...
When I will copy the files from "game" folder to "WorldOfGoo" folder it launches, but when I click "Save and launch World of Goo" it says "null: NullPointerException".
Anyone help

It tries to install Java 1.6 when I already have Java installed then it closes what the hells going on?
Tue, 10/08/2019 - 22:20
When opening Gootool it gives me the message "GooTool' is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash." on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. I don't know what to do.

I tried to install GooTool, but the installer failed to find Java 1.6. It then tried to download Java 1.6 online, then failed to connect. I think it's because Oracle cut support of it in 2018.
I am using Windows 10. Java 1.6 is at its default directory of
C:\Program Files (x86)\Javaand the installer is atC:\Users\(my account)\Downloads(default Downloads folder).Fri, 02/14/2020 - 06:49
