I have a lot of optional logging code in the Sully Complete codebase that goes:
LOGGER( "this is the line to log" );
And earlier in the codebase I have
#define LOGGER log
And when I want to have no logging, I change it to
#define LOGGER _no_log
that function looks like this:
void _no_log( string s ) {}
It might be dumb, but I find it very useful.

Damn Grue's smart.
Feature-wise, I can't see anything in vergec.txt for changing the order of the renderstring. ie:
SetRenderString(string renderstring)
This would come in handy somewhere down the line.

Support for Windows Font File Format. TTY, I belive. That would be pimp.

I remember hearing vecna say once that he was considering a feature that would draw a single chr frame to wherever so you could tool around with it and then blit it. This would be pretty boss -- any hope of it being implemented someday? Obviously someone with the spec sheet could just code a V3 function to do the same thing, but that would be annoying and slower!

I already bothered him with that suggestion. It's already in, listed in the graphics functions in the vergec.txt

Can you UNHookEntityRender?

I'm not sure, but that may be possible by going:
hookretrace("");

yeah what he said, HookEntityRender(entity, ""); unhooks

untill someone says "shut up rage you asshole!" I'm going to ask about another function that'd be cool... =p
rather than a render() that renders everything map and entity related, something like rendermap() and renderentities().
It would allow you to put graphics and what not behind entitys would be mighty useful.

If you want to do that, I'm pretty sure there's a retrace map layer. Er.. It worked that way in V2.

well if I put the retrace layer under the entities then I cant hookretrace a heads-up display that is on top of everything.
but with that in mind I guess what would be better to ask for is a 2nd retrace layer that you can hook into.

I'm noticing that VergeC.txt doesn't list any commands for changing layer opacity. Can we have some? Are they in but not documented? This'd make day and night cycles and fading coolness fantastically easy. Something like:
SetLayerLucent(int layer, int lucency)
For a start, my plans to have fading house roofs go completely out of the window without this.

Why can’t you say:
#define LOGGER //
to comment out logs when you don't want them instead?
Consequently, I often try to do things like:
#define self. objs[self].
Witch would allow me to assign self as a int and use self. as a pointer. Or maybe:
#define DoKeyBind( CallFunction("BindAction_"+
Witch would allow be to append the text to the front of something and call something without wasting a function call.
But it seams #define don't replace whole strings just identifiers. :(
Oh well, I guess direct text replacement has too much room for error.

Hmm.. How about:
--
TileBlit(int x, int y, int tilenum, int destimage)
TTileBlit(int x, int y, int tilenum,int destimage)
--
...or is there already a function for dealing with tiles? I mean, it's more efficient if there's a function like this rather than having to do a GrabRegion() in an instance where you want a single tile.

could someone tell me what the syntax of a function is?
and can a function exist within a completely dif. set of vc code? if so, say I have a vc file full off these functions in, say, function.vc
how can I call it from test.vc?
I know these may sound pathetically ignorant but I'm just getting used to this stuff^^;

I believe all functions, and vars declared outside of functions are totally global.
If you:
#include "function.vc"
in system.vc, anything in function.vc should be usable from test.vc. All functions/global params are in essence members of a single Class, if that helps.
Unless I'm wrong, of course.
