Alright, so I finished making my level. However, whenever I try to play my level (it's been inserted as an addin with Goo Tool), it gives me this:

Anything I'm missing? This really doesn't make sense. Please hurry, I wish to play my level...

This is a fairly common error when you try to play the level with invalid data. WOG does not do any error checking and just assumes the level data are valid.

Try the following:
- open the level if WOG Editor and check if there is any warnings (there still a lot that is not validated, but if you hacked the XML by hand, it may find an error or two).
- if this give no result, try removing part of the level until you can figure out which part is causing the issue.

Ok, so I tried opening the level with WOGEditor, but it won't open. What does that mean?

Do you mean that the level does show in the list of editable level ? In any case, check the console window for any errors.

Unfortunately as zark92 mentions, WOG doesn't give any useful diagnostics on level load crashes. The solution is to revert to your last known good copy and incrementally apply the changes until you find which one broke it. If you don't have a known good copy, try removing elements one by one (making sure you don't have anything referencing anything else by id).

Alright, so I got this message while trying to play another level I made, and The Other Side of the Dispenser. I start to think that the demo version is the culprit. Could it be? Or is it a strange coincidence?

ALright, so I have the full version. I tried playing my newest level with GooTool, but to no avail. Same crash, once again. However, other levels work, but not this one.

Does anyone know what that StackWalk Failed (299) is about? That would be of tremendous help. Ah well, I'll stick to playing in the Editor for now.

There's something wrong with your level. I know that's not very helpful but the error is always very vague like this. Make a backup of your level, then try removing things one by one until the level works.

Usually when I get this message, I'm referencing an invalid ball type or missing image etc. But there can be many causes.
