See how a single post works?
Anyway, a vc file is a normal text file. Just don't save it as a text file. The easiest way to do this is to save it as type : ALL FILES. Then, when you are typing the file name, end it with .vc . (example.vc)
If you already have code in a saved file with txt as the extension, then you need to rename the file. Windows may get in your way here, but you can easily rename files in DOS (ren example.txt example.vc) . Make sure you're in the right directory.

Did you even try reading the docs that should have been included with the Verge2 zip? Anyway, to compile a single file you do this:
vcc file.vc
To compile ALL VC files you currently have:
vcc all
But I think you should go back and read the docs. The one called VergeC.txt, to be more specific.

Patience my friend. Judging from you past post's it seems that you are not only not familar with verge but also with your operating system. Most people who get into this stuff have some experience. When I first got my computer in 96' I knew dick all. Just fool around try out some things. from you not knowing how to change the file extension. If you know what that is. I'm thinking you need some more experiece.

No. You DID NOT read the docs. Atleast you didn't read them well. Scrolling down the doc in 1 minute will do you know good. If you read the introductory parts of the Vergec.txt doc well enough, you should understand compilation. Even if you're a complete newbie to programming, which you obviously are. If you really want to make a game, take some time to read the docs thoroughly, and stop freakin' complaining! Everyone over here can't hold your hand for every baby step you want to take. And yes, compilation is a "baby step" compared to everything else in VC. And if you didn't already know, System.vc is something you have to make yourself. VergeC.txt would have explained that!
And one other thing. DON'T EVER WRITE IN ALL CAPS AGAIN! IT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE YOU'RE YELLING AT EVERYONE, AND THAT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN ASSHOLE.

Right. Here's your problem:
First of all, you're probably using the "click 'n' drag method" in windows to drag your files to the little VCC icon. Go in to DOS, because DOS is your best friend, and go into your verge directory (cd verge etc.). Type vcc system.vc. But first, go into notepad and create files called system.vcs and system.idx. I had a piss of a time trying to fool VCC into intially compiling my first vc file. After that, everything was peachy.
I know Verge 2 can be frustrating as hell if you're a newbie. I just started 2 weeks ago (it took me an entire day's worth of work to navigate around the files, mostly because I had to switch between windows and DOS and notepad was being a butt). Now I've got my own little characters wandering around a section of a map I've created. Of course, there's still a long way to go, but still, I don't think it's so bad. Whatever. SPEAKING of characters wandering around the screen, could everybody please read my post up above? I need a little help again. Thanx!
:P
