Am I the only one who doesn't know how to install the various levels offered by members? I have GooTool and have installed the 5 GooMod files available but the rest that are offered in this forum seem to be packages that need to be copied in some manner to WoG. These packages all contain various folders and files including xml's. Do they need to be loaded in the WoG Editor first? That is another mystery to me as I tried to find and load the editor  but have not been able to. Would someone care to write some detailed instructions here? I would certainly appreciate it and probably alot of others would as well.
Thanks

Well, I have no answer, because I'm like yourself. So don't feel alone! I would imagine though that if the architecture of the *.zip or other files is similar to a *.goomod then you'd be able to install through GooTool. In all honesty, I try to stick to only GooMod files, because I'd like to see GooTool really take off and people use it as a standard :)

But any information on this would be great, also a level you may be wishing to get that is in the format you suggested would be a great example to start with, and maybe we all could figure out what to do :)!

Here is one example posted by Kopa - http://2dboy.com/forum/index.php/topic,1410.0.html

Go to his Megaupload link to dl. I don't believe it's a zip file; just a folder w/ sub folders. I think these are created in the WoG Editor that never got compiled to a single GooMod file. GooTool only works with compiled files; at least I tried to open it and GooTool would not recognize anything in the structure.

I agree that it would be great if Gootool would become the standard cause I might like to create some levels but seriously doubt I have the time and so far I have only found 5 goomod levels and one doesn't even work on my Mac. Presently, My 2 PC 's are having problems so I am only using the Mac for Goo related stuff and so far it seems the editor only works on Windows unless you have programming skills. I read something about having to install Python and that's where I stopped.

Really, when I'm not working I just want to play; not spend hours installing stuff but I can afford some time to that if someone would just show us noobs how.

Easy as pie once you know how.  :) :)

You need winzip/winrar/something capable of creating .zip files. I use winrar, so the last step is the instructions for that and winzip.

1. Copy/paste the text below to a txt file. and rename it to addin.xml. You may have to get windows to show file extensions to do this.

Looks good, I'd just add one point, which is that the ID and version are going to become more important soon. The forthoming releases of goofans.com and GooTool have a mod download system, check for updates on mods, and automatic dependency downloading.

So I recommend highly that you increment the version number each time you release a new version, and that you use a globally unique ID of one of the following forms:

1) if you have your own domain name (e.g. davidc.net) reverse it, e.g. net.davidc.brightsunshine

2) if you have an account on goofans.com, use com.goofans + your username, e.g. com.goofans.davidc.brightsunshine

3) failing that use com.2dboy.forum + your username.

Hello
i created my own level, but it's not working.
I exactly mad it how it's written here.
Can anybody test it and tell me what's wrong with it ?

I'm no expert, but the file Testli4.resource.xml in the goomod refers to several images which are not included in the goomod. i.e. stachel wolke-gross etc.

Check all images are included.

Oh God !
You are right ! There are many images from an other Test inside the Resources.
I will fix that.
Thank you verry much
