Hi! I would like to say that I have begun working on a program that can make a goomod in about a few minutes! You must have your own files for it to compile but it will create the addin.xml and everything else for you!

It basically asks:
mod or level
OCD (if level)
gooballs needed to complete (if level)
title and subtitle (if level)
title of goomod
ID of goomod
author(s )
description

It also asks for the locations of the folders that you want to include in the compile, merge, and override folders! You can leave one blank if your mod will not include that folder.

So yeah if you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to reply to this!

very cool! will this be command line based or will it have buttons and forms etc?
will it ask for a folder to make the goomod from, or the specific files?

98% of the teen population believes those "98% of ... if you are one of the 2% who don't copy this into your sig" sigs. copy and paste this into your sig if you are one of the 2% who don't believe them.

It will be simple enough for new users. (buttons & guidance)

It can/will ask ONLY for the folder containing the files to be put into the override/compile/merge folders.

I actually think that this sort of thing should be button and fill-in based

If you have a design for a command-based version, I might make it. Just tell me what command there should be and what kind of interface you think it might need.

I HAVE A SCREENSHOT:

I remembered my old google website that I haven't touched in months...and I logged in and posted a screenshot.

HERE'S THE LINK TO THE PHOTO: http://sites.google.com/site/cosmickillergm/

It's not very complete. But it shows a basic view of what it's gonna look like.

You are not stupid, that's not what I sad! I'm just saying, you are 9 and you probably didn't yet learned hot to properly test a piece of software. You can't do "ad hoc" Wink

I think he could test it because all I want are a few people to all try it out and tell me any bugs or things that won't work.

Thanks and Joris I will send you a download as soon as I finish creating the first version. As I said before I can finish it by the end of December.

As you can see, there is a new style given. Some aspects are the same, while others are remotely different. If you look on the left, you will find that you can publish your newly created goomod WITHIN GooMaker. That's my favorite part. The program will go to the goofans publishing page where you can publish and share a goomod to the website. The window has full browser functions! so you can upload, download, login, logout, and look up whatever you need!

NOTE: You will have to login to view the publishing page correctly. Otherwise it will say something like, "You do not have permission to access this page." To login, simply scroll to the right within the web page and login just like you would on Firefox or Internet Explorer!

I am going to make a test version available soon! I still haven't created the compile function, but you can tell me what you think of the interface!

Reply to this if you want to try it out! (Joris, this is for you)

Wow this has been taking a lot less time than originally thought of. I SHOULD be able to make a test version TODAY! I am going to send it as an attachment to anybody who wants it!

Reply now with your email address if you want to try it! (Joris I will already send it to you)

NOTE: I need some help for something that doesn't require coding. (The how to use file) If you are interested in that, just send me an email at clericman@yahoo.com
