I know that you must be now extremely angry because these all of linux problems, sorry  ;)

So, maybe a good idea would be to allow:
a) copy game files from the box set I've bought to demo, so I would be able to play full version on linux without bugging you to send me one or downloading a pirated one

or

b) release only binary files, so I'd have to copy rest from an windows install.

That's how a linux version was solved by ID Software for example, and maybe it'll work for WOG, too  ;)

I'm not sure if I'm in the position where I should be saying this, but... that probably does work already. (Have you even tried it?)

Yeah, the game still says it's a demo. Haven't tried to play other chapters than the first, but I'll try when I'll have some free time  ;)

I'm assuming you installed the linux demo, played it, then installed the full version. If that's the case, you might have to rm the .dat file found in ~/.WorldOfGoo/ or nuke the entire directory (backup!).

You shouldn't remove the pers2.dat file; it contains all your game progress! And it's perfectly portable between the demo and full version anyway.

I've deleted whole ~/.WorldOfGoo (I wasn't as far to care about progress), but still, the game says it's a demo.

I'll try to copy here my original polish language files from the box set and check if game is in polish. I was using pirated english version because it doesn't check for a CD in the drive (which of course fails, as wine can't provide low-lewel access to drive).

wait, you were using wine? then you can create an iso of the CD and mount it with the loopback device under a mountpoint of your choosing and change where the cd drive is in the wine config.

but i highly recommend downloading the linux .deb and installing the full version that way.

No. It was an installation that remembers the times when Linux version was still unpublished  ;)

Did you try uninstalling the demo?

With Debian/Ubuntu:
Log into the console, type:
sudo aptitude search goo
to see if you find the package of the demo (it's call worldofgoodemo or something similar).
When you find it, uninstall it with:
sudo aptidude remove worldofgoodemo (again, or something similar)

Then install the full version. It installs in /opt/WordOfGoo/

The problem is, I've bought the box-set so I can't download the linux version from here, I don't want to bug the developers, and I was thinking if I can transform the demo to the full version by simple copying full version's files over the ones that was provided by demo.

I still say coping the res directory should do the trick.

The *.bin files in the properties directory need to be copied in addition to the res directory for this to work.

I just installed the Linux demo and copied over the data-files of the windows full version. works as expected. There shouldn't be a difference between the data-files of the boxed- and download-versions. Most probably your are copying to the wrong places.
