Half of it was generated by WooGle the other half by me when I needed to edit somethings after the MapWorldView level was up and operational. Anyway, what do you mean by comments preceding the line?
Edit: IT WORKS! Thanks Goomatz! It was the slash! The Demo should be out soon! I'll keep asking for help as I need it!
Edit again: OK! The demo is 95% complete! But I need help with converting the entire zipped file to a .goomod! I zipped it like AP said, but when I renamed it it was still a .zip format folder! What's wrong?

I think it means that any one of the xmls (or maybe xsls) could have a mistake. If it doesn't give any clues, then you might have to check out all of them.
BTW, here's a tip: use a code editor (I use Notepad++) to check out your xmls, the syntax colouring normally makes it easy to pick out typos and such.
Actually, thinking about it, that most likely means something GooTool is reading, not shoving into the game, puggsoy. I may be wrong, but I don't think GooTool has to worry about parsing, except in the cases for the addin.xml and all the xsls.
Well then it's probably addin.xml or an xsl. All I remember is that I got the same error once and an xsl/xml (can't remember which) of mine had a typo.
@Gooballs of Fire: What is the exact wording of the message? An xml parse error could be caused by any XML file in the addin, like any level or addin.xml or text.xml.
I can open all my levels and balls with those, so it's either an addin.xml error, xsl error or I merged my MapWorldView or island wrong soo... let me look up that message again...
Edit: OH! Now the message says something else! It says: Error opening (mygoomod name): No manifest found, is this an addin?
Edit again!: Ooops! That previous error was because I didn't zip it right! Now it says: Error opening (mygoomod name): Unable to parse document.
For those wondering, Earth of Goo is still being worked on, but not as often. It will be finished! Check out my website/YouTube @ScarletFury!
OK, I'll post it here and let me know if you can find anything wrong, You probably will, because I didn't really know what I was doing with that addin.xml file...

Golly, it seems you created separate levels and just copied and pasted the addin.xml from each into one, right?
The correct way to do this is simply to copy the "level" element from each one, not the whole thing. Like so:
<addin spec-version="1.1">
<id>com.goofans.LucasAndZach.Name_Of_Addin</id>
<name>Name of Addin</name>
<type>level</type>
<version>0.1</version>

You can't have it like you did, there's one manifest. In the manifest, you can support multiple levels by making them subelements under the "levels" element.
As for the "island1L", are you trying to make a new island? Or is it a level?
Ok, I really didn't know what I was doing! The island1L is supposed to replace chapter 1 of the game with that one, but I wasn't sure if I needed to include it in the addin.xml or not!
For those wondering, Earth of Goo is still being worked on, but not as often. It will be finished! Check out my website/YouTube @ScarletFury!
If you want to replace island1, edit all the places where it says "island1L" (in the files and outside the files; rename the directory as well. For the files, use a Find and Replace.) so that it says "island2" instead.
The reason for those replaces is that you can't use island1 for your new island. That's where GooTool places other people's levels. Also "island1L" won't do anything anyway.
Also, are those other levels part of the new island? If they are, there's no point in including them in the addin.xml. You would have to change respective files with xsls to do that.
AHHH! OK! Start over! How do I merge the island 1 to replace the original island 1 and insert those levels into it as a new chapter?!? Sorry if I'm going crazy.

Ok! I've almost successfully finished this demo! But now as gootool saves and launches the demo, I get this error saying: Unable to merge properties/resources.xml.xsl XSL stylesheet file or something like that! Is something wrong with it? I used davidc's program!
For those wondering, Earth of Goo is still being worked on, but not as often. It will be finished! Check out my website/YouTube @ScarletFury!
Help! Something is wrong with my resources.xml.xsl file to merge and I don't know what! Gootool simply says: Addin Format Exception in (my goomod name). Error transforming properties/resources.xml.xsl. Could not compile stylesheet. (com.goofans.gootool.v) But i used davidc's xsl program and it should've worked! I'll post the code here let me know if any of you see anything wrong!
From what I've seen (in Notepad++) there doesn't seem to be any colours in weird places, so I don't think there's any syntax problems. Maybe your modified XML which you gave to davidc's tool isn't right. Have you checked that?
Well I added more than just those two pipes, I also added some custom generic gooball sounds: mumbles 8-14 and ting and GlassBonus and glees 12-15 so... alltogether should i just add those parts of the xsl and delete the rest? I used davidc's xsl creator program...
For those wondering, Earth of Goo is still being worked on, but not as often. It will be finished! Check out my website/YouTube @ScarletFury!
To add sounds, add them to the xsl I posted too. Just right below the pipe images.
I saw in your xsl, that your sounds don't have a proper id and path.
Yours is:
You shouldn't copy a file, edit it, then use David's tool. That will ruin everything! You need to delete everything in the file, because XSL files ADD, not REPLACE. Follow goomatz's instructions to get it working.
sigh... I AM starting over and doing what goomatz said I hope this will work!
OK! (Sorry again) Another new problem! Gootool doesn't like .bintl files as I found out in an error of the movie files. Sooo... HOW DO I ADD MY NEW REPLACEMENT MOVIES TO THE GAME?!?

Uh,oh! I'm testing installing the .goomod demo with gootool and it comes up with an xml parse error! Does that mean I edited the addin.xml wrong?

No manifest found means it can't locate addin.xml. I assume you probably have some other problem with that specific file.

You can change island1 if you want. Just use Daft's template merges.

Wow, this is a big xsl file for just adding some pipes. Or did you add more than the two pipes?
I would recommend you to use this xsl:
Just add your second pipe (ICE) resources.
