Chip's Controls Change Log

• Erase Score button added in the Score Editor for deleting a level's score without deleting the level entry itself.
• DAT/CCL and CCF files are now listed in the same list box.
• CCF File Editor is now accessed via the Tools menu.
• Fake and real last levels can now be changed when playing a DAT/CCL file via the main window.
• Changed the link in the about box (again).

• Made some version number adjustments and changed the link in the about box.

• Made a small modification to the EXE Creator window that could fix some issues on computers with different font settings.
• Made a change to the Score Editor to change the HighestLevel entry in the INI file to change to the current last level. (Note - in some instances, the number may still be off by 1.)
• MS dac files created with DacGen now have the "ruleset=ms" line added to them, so level sets designed for Lynx can be played in MS mode.
• Changed the about box.
• Other various fixes.

• Fixed a dangerous bug that would occur after using EXE Creator or Score Editor, and then using the main window.
• Chip's Controls main window should now work if it is located in no subfolders (aka just C:\ or D:\).

• Added 2 options to DacGen - add "fixlynx=y" to the Lynx dac file for Chips.dat, and add "lastlevel=144" for Chips.dat, CCLP2.dat, and CCLP3.dat.
• Fixed a small bug in DacGen - sometimes the options wouldn't be saved.
• A new feature has been added that has never been seen in any other CC programs: Score Editor. Score Editor allows you to rearrange, delete, or add levels in your INI file. When doing this, the level scores and overall scores will automatically be fixed. See the Score Editor page for more information.

• The pointless "Open as read-only" on some of the dialog boxes were taken off.
• It is saved to the registry if DAT/CCL or CCF files are selected.
• The CCF creator doesn't close anymore after creating a CCF file.
• It is saved to the registry if the ChipC.exe was created yet or not. After ChipC.exe is created, the menu option will always be disabled.
• If the "Create ChipC.exe" menu option needs to be hidden or is hidden and shouldn't be, you can press Shift-H to re-enable or disable the menu option.
• After creating a new CCF file, it will show up in the CCF list instantly, instead of the user needing to exit the program and go back in.
• The "original EXE" in the EXE creator is saved to the registry and remembered each time.
• In the CCF file creator, an error will occur if the DAT file, fake last level, real last level, or CCF file name are left blank, or if the last levels are not a valid level number. Errors will occur in the EXE creator too if the level numbers aren't valid.
• The Browse dialogs have been changed slightly (nothing noticeable). For 3 of the 4 dialogs I had *.exe* for the filter. Back when I typed that part of the code, I hadn't realized that only the first * is required. This has been changed.
• You can now press Ctrl+P to play a CCF file too.
• In the CCF creator browse dialog, .dat and .ccl files are in the same entry (before, they were 2 separate entries).

• DacGen (a DAC file creating tool for Tile World) is now a feature of Chip's Controls. You can select the data and sets folders, and if passwords should be used or not. This info is saved to the registry, so each time you load the program, you won't have to select the folders again.
• DacGen can create DAC files for an unlimited number of sets now (previously, the limit was 256 level sets).
• I think most of the errors in the EXE Creator and ChipEnd are fixed.

• If the fake last level was less than 100 and the real last level was more than 100, it gave an error. This bug has been fixed.

• ChipEnd now has a user interface, instead of just dialog and prompt boxes. (It's actually the same as the EXE Creator box, but the things that don't apply are hidden.)
• The EXE Creator has the "real" and "fake" last levels in text boxes on the form instead of prompt boxes.

• If you select Play Selected File or Edit Selected CCF File when no file is selected, the program will not give an error and close anymore.

• CCF files have been added. When you create CCF files, you play levels the same way Chip's Controls's main window works now, except the ending levels are changed, and the DAT/CCL file can be anywhere on the computer! (The CCF file must still be in Chip's Controls's folder.)
• Made some message boxes look better.

• In one of these versions, the main screen part of Chip's Controls actually started working correctly.

• Various updates and fixes. (I don't remember, because it was a while ago...)

• First release.
• Made with Visual Basic 6.
• Original name was going to be Chip's Level Controls.
