Hi, does anybody know how to edit the properties of goo balls, how many attachments they can make etc?
I want to make a common Goo that doen't have eyes when its not being used and can reattach, can any one help?
I know you have to edit the .xml.bin files but I can't open them.

The easiest way to do this would be to:

- download an existing ball from http://cyanyde.com/~scaevolus/WorldOfGoo/res/balls/

- edit it

- make sure you put your ball in a new directory so it doesn't override any other balls

- and then make a .goomod file, with your new ball in the compile directory. GooTool will then automatically compile it into .xml.bin for you.
