I've tried to get my hands on a good Chip's Challenge editor for the longest time now.
Those I've found so far have always been very easy to use when I create the levels - the only problem is that I can never play them.
"CHIPSEXE.FILE not specified in CHIPEDIT.INI" is the message I always get when I click on Playtest, and it's getting annoying, because I want to play my own creations, not just look at them.

oh man, I haven't thought of chip's challenge in years. Why don't you pull open the .INI and see what it has to say in there? It may be as simple as adding a line somewhere.

Where can I find that file?
When I extract the zip-folder I get the editor itself and a few other documents, but none of them tell me exactly where to find this .INI file, they only go on about how it is related to Playtesting.

probably in the editor folder!

No, I can't find anything that lets me actually enable the Playtesting.
Feels like that option will obstinately refuse to work no matter what I do. :eep:

Can I download that Chipedit.ini or whatever somewhere on the Internet?
The Readme will not give any clear instructions.

maybe you have files hidden

Yeah, it appeared some files actually were hidden.
Now I have another file called "CHIPEDIT.EXE", and I guess in English the file type would be "Configuration Settings (.INI)";
this is what I read in that document:

FILENAME=C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\chipedit\(level name).dat
MAXIMIZE=1

Can I make any changes and/or additions here that enable Playtest?

(level name) = the space where the name of one of my invented levels is written.
