What is a .DAC file?
It's Jan A from the early Chip days. I've been collecting user level sets since 1999, and am happy to share from my collection. Let me know what you're looking for.

A .dac file is a file that gives Tile World some information about a set. Specifically, it must contain the levelset it points to in the "data" folder, and can contain the ruleset to be played (MS or Lynx), whether passwords should be used, and a couple other things I don't remember at the moment. They're mostly used to run the same set in both rulesets, without needing to update two copies with each update.
My CC1 levelsets: (25, 150, 149, 149, 149, 149, 60, 149, 43, +2 = 1025 total)
25 levels.dat | Ultimate Chip.dat | Ultimate Chip 2.ccl | Ultimate Chip 3.dac | Ultimate Chip 4.zip | Ultimate Chip 5 | Ultimate Chip 6 Walls of CCLP4 i^e
IHNN-Ultimate: 147 of my best levels (through UC5), plus 2 entirely new ones. May be overhauled soon.

My CC2 levelsets: (100, ???)

Ahhh, that's probably why I didn't know. I never use TileWorld.

Okay, so what is a file that ends .dac.tws?? I have both .dac and .dac.tws, and they're completely different from each other.

Thanks, noname!

.dac.tws is just a TWS file for a set run through a DAC file. TWS is the solution and score file for a given set- the convenience of being able to play back the fastest solution trumps having to record all attempts to me, for sure.

Glad I could help!
