Community towers, leaderboardskeybounce11/11/2009 - 14:49

Since 2dboy's leaderboards and tower server seems to be down, I understand that there is one run by the community.

But how do I reconfigure WoG to use it?

(Mac version in case it makes a difference)

Download Gootool (link) from Goofans.com (link)

I have gotten Gootool.

Sadly, it tells me:

1. It cannot display my tower,
2. "Unable to publish your profile: invalid username or password".

Actually, I just realized: There doesn't seem to be any place to enter my Goofan's account name/password.

Is there a way to change my profile name to match my Goofan's name?

1 - this appears when you haven't entered WoG Corporation or haven't yet build a tower. since you have build your tower the problem is that gootool can't find your profile and is loading empty one. Try installing latest 1.3 patch and reinstall gootool.

2 - that means you haven't connected to goofans. Try with different user/pass or create a new one

Yes! You can connect to goofans.com from gootool. It is in OPTIONS Tab on the left side... ;)

That doesn't mather but if you really really want to do it the only way is to edit your pers2.dat file

NOTE: If you are a new player(you got Birthday sale WoG) you HAVE TO generate user ID by clicking advance tab-genarate ID in gootool. and the try to upload your profile.

I have entered WoG. I have built a tower. I have 1.3. I have a Mac. I have the newest Gootool.

How?

"Still can't see my tower"

Go to goofans, login, and click on 'my account'. You will see your profile, click it and you should see your tower.


"How?"

Alright, but how do I see it from gootool :-).

(Annoying -- the balls got on my tower and knocked it over from weight.)
