I know that this was posted way later then when I originally posted it to the web page, but I decided to tell everyone about it anyways. This generally allows you to highlight all the core commands and generally allows you to view scripts easier with all the color coding.

When I first downloaded VERGE 3, I knew that I needed an easy way to edit the scripts. I didn't want to use Textpad, because it was not free, and I wanted something that I was used to. I decided to use ConTEXT, since I already had it and was free. I simply modified a C# Highlighter file, and then I had a highlighter file for VERGE 3. I later on put it on the page.

I don't know if the history bit was going too far. Oh well...

Personally I think that ConTEXT is better than Notepad. For one thing, it's free. And also, syntax highlighting makes it easier to read the script file. This is used for highlighting core commands and other elements (int, string, struct, numbers, etc.) that are used when putting together a game. It's nice to use even when creating simple scripts. It lets you know what command is built in and what ones you created.

Thanks for sharing with the verge community. I still use notepad though, but that's cause I don't really code any core engine elements. Never tried ConTEXT, how is it?

If you are referring to the C++ source code of the VERGE 3 Engine, then this is not what this is for. This is for editing script files that are used to define the game itself (basically anything *.vc).
