Hi Zouky

Can you please go to Start, Run, type "cmd". And in the black box enter "set programfiles" "set localappdata" and "set programdata", and let me know what those give.

Example:

Thanks for this information. I have added better automatic detection of the profile location under XP.

For WorldOfGoo.exe, it looks like your system default Program Files directory is on the D: drive, but you have another one on the J: drive. Unfortunately I can't automatically detect that.

The good news, however, is that as of version 0.9.0, GooTool will automatically remember the location once you have selected it, so you won't have to choose it every time you run the program.

hello !!! work now with gootools 0.9 ... Very GG and big thanks !!!

Having troubles locating profile for gootoo? running Vista. Thanks for any help.

All Good, got it!

Hello everybody!

Please, help me. Gootool can not locate my profile stored in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\2DBoy\WorldOfGoo\ Can I add it manually with the Windows Registry Editor? I hope I understand the syntax of the key 'wog_dir' value, but what's the name of the key for the profile?

Excuse me for my English please.

Hi Tonis,

You can select your profile from the Options tab in GooTool. You don't need to touch the registry.

Hi Davidc, thanks for the quick answer.

Possibly I could if it could show me the options tab But it starts searching for the profile fully utilizing one of the CPU cores, and this search appears to be infinite. I think editing the registry is at least faster I have already found the 'wog_dir' key there and it seems to me that just another one with an appropriate name and value will do. As I know the value, could you please tell me the name?

Thanks in advance.

OK. First make sure you're using GooTool 0.10.2. There was a bug in previous versions where it could go into an infinite loop loading the profile

If you're using 0.10.2, please send me a copy of your profile. The likelihood is that it HAS found your profile and is having trouble opening it. You can confirm this by checking the logfile: http://goofans.com/gootool/troubleshooting/crash

If you still want to try the registry, the key is "profile_file" but be aware that Java seems to put loads of extra forward slashes in it. For example, mine is:

/C:///Users//david///App/Data///Local//2/D/Boy///World/Of/Goo//pers2.dat

I was using 0.10.1.xxx, 0.10.2 works fine, thanks a lot!

HI, a found my profile while using the windows browser for files and those things, I just put in the text bar the word "pers2.dat" (just like that) and it appeared.

I hope this is useful for somebody, the path I got was:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Datos de programa\2DBoy\WorldOfGoo

see ya in the clouds

i can see my pers2.dat but since i patched to world of goo 1.30 it stopped modifying the file and now its saving somewhere else and i cant figure it out
my pers2.dat is outdated. last modification was in may, 12th
if anyone knows where the new patch saves my profile i would be happy (:
thanks

Try C:\Documents and Settings\%YOUR NAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\2DBoy\WorldOfGoo

You may have to check "show hidden file and folders" in Folder options in Control Panel

it's there but it doesnt update
even though its saving my profile modifications everytime i play... somewhere
if i install the original version the problem would be solved. i would start the game from wheree i stopped a few months ago (which would be a bit depressing) but then i'd have crashes with the resolution issue

I found the folder with WorldofGoo.exe, but the pers2 data isn't there! Might it have to do with the fact that I got the game from Steam? The path is:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\world of goo

luginator, the pers2.dat is not in the same folder as the executable. Check out this document for where to find it: http://goofans.com/developers/game-file-formats/profile-file-format

Ok, I found it! Thanks for the help!

Hey. Can't locally find my profile either. Attempted the cmd prompt as previously mentioned. I get "Environment variable _______ not defined" for programdata and localappdata.

Also wondering if this would cause the game to run in a Window after computer crashed.

Anyone help?

I don't know about your problem, but in Windows (I'm not sure about other OSs) you can punch Alt-Enter to toggle between fullscreen and windowed.

hi, i can't find my profile, the intallation location is: C:\Archivos de programa\WorldOfGoo

but i cant's find the pers2.dat file... tried the cmd thingy but gives me the variable but get the same issue as aquadan88

running on windows xp... please help

I found it.. never mind... for those who can't: Go to Control Panel end enable ""show hidden files and folders" and the use the search tool in the start menu and search for the pers2.dat...

cheers!!

I can add my profile to GooTools but when I launch the game it doesn't show up. Any ideas why?

I have the latest gootools, 1.0.2.376, on fully-patched windows xp. I have most of my games installed on d:\program files\ instead of c:\program files\ which is where gootools is installed. The game is located at: D:\Program Files\WorldOfGoo\WorldOfGoo.exe The documentation indicates I should be able to browse to the correct location, but gootools exits with the java error:
Uncaught exception (java.lang.RuntimeException): Unexpected exception locating World of Goo.

pers2.dat is located in C:\Documents and Settings\me\Local Settings\Application Data\2DBoy\WorldOfGoo\pers2.dat

I finally found the WOG 1.30 update after reading through this thread and installed it but gootools still doesn't work for me. Here is the gootool log file - where do I go from here?

Hi, I found my pers2.dat here:
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\2DBoy\WorldOfGoo
(German XP Home installation)

cheers,
Hobel

Doesn't GooTool use environment variables to find the profile?

yah it does

i dont know why Hobelbruder posted that seeing as gootool looks in the registry for the folder

unixguy: this is a known bug in Java: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6544857

Upgrading to Java 6 version 1.6.0_18 or later should solve it.
