I've been trying to make a custom goo ball, but I don't know how to install it. Here's what I tried

Steel.goomod:

[li] Addin.xml[/li]
[li] compile\res\balls\Steel\balls.xml[/li]
[li] compile\res\balls\Steel\resources.xml[/li]
[li] override\res\balls\Steel\arm_connected.png[/li]
[li] override\res\balls\Steel\body.png[/li]
[li] override\res\sounds\attach.ogg[/li]
[li] override\res\sounds\clank.ogg[/li]

Almost... What you said about the goo corp is right, to use it in an existing level, you need to overwrite an existing ball.

If you want to create a new ball and use it in a custom level, you can do what you did, except you need to reference it in your level.

If you just want it in the goo corp, I'd suggest visiting goofans.com and downloading a few of the custom balls from there. Then check them all to see what they did. Finally, the sounds want to be in the res/balls/[TYPE] folder also.

Hope this helps, it's early and my powers of explanation aren't awake yet!

I tried my steel ball in a custom level, but the level won't open(when I test it, it just begins normally, and when I'm supposed to see the level - - te game just shuts down ???

When you ran the custom level, was it from the editor, or from a goomod file?

I had the same issue running it from the editor, but am pretty sure that once the whole thing was compiled into a goomod it worked. Got me doubting now though so I'll go and test it....

::EDIT::

Just to confirm, it does work in a goomod file, but the WoG-Editor really doesn't like it...

If you want to use wogeditor with custom resources (e.g. balls), you need to point wogeditor at the "custom" world of goo (the output from GooTool) rather than the original.

Nice tip  ;D

Yea, editing the original won't do you much good :).
