i wanted to make it complex and full but lets make it short and quick
you can do everything from 0 just google
- how to create .bat file
- .bat copy commands
- .bat commands
ok
1st step
is to download this .bat file
http://www51.zippyshare.com/v/70743771/file.html
AND PLACE IT TO YOUR WORLD OF GOO FOLDER NEXT TO WorldOfGoo.exe
2nd step
we gonna need to use some hidden folders paths and we need to check
what works on your pc
so hold win button (the one between left ctrl and alt) and press R
it triggers run window
ASSUMING YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE PROFILE IN WORLD OF GOO CAUSE IF NOT MAKE IT 1ST
now try this commands
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%
it should open folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
now go to tools and folder options on tab view choose show hidden files and folders
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/394-hidden-files-folders-show-hide....
and now application data folder should appear in your language
in my case its
DANE APLIKACJI
so my path is
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DANE APLIKACJI
inside you should see 2dboy folder
and shortcut to it would be
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Dane aplikacji
windows vista and 7 would get
C:\ProgramData
so probably if i had win 7 in my language it would be
C:\ProgramData\Dane aplikacji
but still shortcut to it would be
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Dane aplikacji
on some sites you can find direct shortcuts to that special folder
like here
http://www.deploymaster.com/manual/folders.html
it says its
%COMMONAPPDATAROOT%
others says its
%LOCALAPPDATA%
%ALLUSERSPROFILEDATA%
%CommonAppData%
well for me it wont work if it works for you than use it
when you determined save location of your 2dboy folder you can move to next step
3rd step
in your world of goo folder create Backup folder
ITS VERY IMPORTANT OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK AND WILL GIVE YOU ERRORS
JUST AND EMPTY FOLDER NAMED BACKUP
\World of Goo\Backup
4th step
COMMANDS FROM BELOW YOU JUST COPY AND PASTE IN TO YOUR BAT FILE
RIGHT CLICK ON IT AND CHOOSE EDIT
is to add copy execute and paste lines (there is no paste it just copy files in revers order)
so it looks like this
@ECHO OFF xcopy /i /e /y "%CD%\Backup" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\2DBoy" Start /w "%CD%" "WorldOfGoo.exe" xcopy /i /e /y "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\2DBoy" "%CD%\Backup" pause
you can find what mean /i /e /y /w and other stuff by googling it like i mention on the beginnig
xcopy /i /e /y "%CD%\Backup" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\2DBoy"
Start /w "%CD%" "WorldOfGoo.exe"
xcopy /i /e /y "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\2DBoy" "%CD%\Backup"
only THIS part should change for you (if you have polish windows than it would be the same)
ok so what it does is
@ECHO OFF
it echoing commands but i dont know what it mean
xcopy /i /e /y "%CD%\Backup" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\2DBoy"
it copies profile from backup folder (at 1st time youll get error cause its empty but its ok)
Start /w "%CD%" "WorldOfGoo.exe"
starts the game and waiting before executing next command till game is closed (normal way or alt+f4)
xcopy /i /e /y "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\2DBoy" "%CD%\Backup"
copies profile to backup folder inside game directory
pause
after all commands are executed it wont let window to close automatically (IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE CONVERTING BAT TO EXE REMOVE PAUSE LINE)
and from now on game will import profile from backup folder to hidden folder it each time you launch it by that file and export it back from hidden folder to backup folder in game directory
5th step
only thing you can do is compile your bat via bat to exe converter (link on top)
in version information tab you can select icon for your exe file
IN OPTIONS TAB WHICH IS DEFAULT TAB YOU SEE IN BAT TO EXE CONVERTER
IN VISIBILITY SECTION CHOOSE
INVISIBLE APPLICATION
here is few icons you could use

http://i.imgur.com/oSTJHgS.png
http://i.imgur.com/oMb1cGy.png
rightclick > save image > and save it to desktop
than via this site http://convertico.com/
convert it to ico
DONE
and from now on your profile will be auto saved
so if you have like in my case world of goo on pend drive each time you launch it it will have your profiles and it will automatically saves them
here is pre made files with
so 1 of it should work fr you BUT MAY NOT WORK LIKE IT DONT WORKS FOR ME
http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/64071484/file.html
which is which
EXE FILES HAVE PAUSE LINE REMOVED
WoG 1 @ECHO OFF xcopy /i /e /y "%CD%\Backup" "%COMMONAPPDATAROOT%\2DBoy" Start /w "%CD%" "WorldOfGoo.exe" xcopy /i /e /y "%COMMONAPPDATAROOT%\2DBoy" "%CD%\Backup" pause WoG 2 @ECHO OFF xcopy /i /e /y "%CD%\Backup" "%LOCALAPPDATA%\2DBoy" Start /w "%CD%" "WorldOfGoo.exe" xcopy /i /e /y "%LOCALAPPDATA%\2DBoy" "%CD%\Backup" pause WoG 3 @ECHO OFF xcopy /i /e /y "%CD%\Backup" "%ALLUSERSPROFILEDATA%\2DBoy" Start /w "%CD%" "WorldOfGoo.exe" xcopy /i /e /y "%ALLUSERSPROFILEDATA%\2DBoy" "%CD%\Backup" pause WoG 4 @ECHO OFF xcopy /i /e /y "%CD%\Backup" "%COMMONAPPDATA%\2DBoy" Start /w "%CD%" "WorldOfGoo.exe" xcopy /i /e /y "%COMMONAPPDATA%\2DBoy" "%CD%\Backup" pause
