One day I stumbled upon a post on a Visual Basic newsgroup that showed how to write to files without putting the data in quotes. During this time, I was
making .dac files for Tile World, which takes a long time. Now that I knew how to remove the quotes when writing files, I could write a program to automatically
create .dac files! So I created DacGen (meaning .DAC Generator).
(DacGen was once its own program, but on December 24, 2005, I added it to Chip's Controls.)
Here's a screenshot of DacGen:
Features:
Creates a MS and a Lynx DAC file for every level set in the Tile World's data folder!
You can choose if passwords should be ignored or not.
You can choose if you want "lastlevel=144" added on CHIPS.dat, CCLP2.dat, and CCLP3.dat. This will cause the ending sequence to occur on level 144 on these sets as well as the last level.
You can choose if you want "fixlynx=y" added to the CHIPS.dat Lynx .dac file. This will fix some passwords and remove level 145 when playing this .dac file.
The options are remembered each time the program runs, so you only need to select the options once!
