Two questions:
1. Is this a map vc file, or your system.vc?
2. Is player.chr in the project directory?

Ok, basicly, this is how Verge works:
1. Load System.vc and execute everything. Somewhere in there you have to put map("bla.map"); which calls the map and the corresponding bla.vc
2. The map's vc is executed. You have to put any spawns at the beginning of that file (or alternatively, spawn via maped).
I for myself am quite a noob, so don't kill me... uhm.

Ok, it may be that the function in the map.vc (which btw should not be "void autoexec()", but rather something like "start()") is not being called. As far as I know, you have to define the function Verge calls on mapload in the Maped settings.

This is a really old tutorial I wrote many moons ago, which was never completed but I think is still a good starting point for V3 users.
http://rysensoft.com/Verge/
At the time LUA wasn't involved, so it's purely VC, and there have been many changes to the engine since I wrote it, but it might help you get on the right track.
I also don't maintain or update anything regarding it, so the files in the Tutorial Package are incredibly out of date, and may or may not be there, but you should be able to take what's written and apply it to the latest engine downloads.
Best of luck :)

Well first of all "autoexec()" is mainly used for system.vc while instead you should use something like "MapInit" and second of all you most likely did not tell your map to run this ".vc" program! To do this you will want to open the map editor and go to map and then properties. The last thing it will ask for is the "Starting Script: " after that put the name of the function in there. For example if you wrote:
void MapInit()
{
int player=EntitySpawn(5, 5, "player.chr");
SetPlayer(player);
}

Then you would type in the Starting Script "MapInit". Save and run and it should work like a charm!!! :P

As documented, you can spawn entities with:
int currentplayer = EntitySpawn(10, 10, "Hero.chr");
SetPlayer(currentplayer);
entity.speed[currentplayer]=100;
What this does: create an int named currentplayer, make it a newly spawned entity on tile x = 10, y = 10 with sprite Hero.chr. Second line gives arrow key control over the entity, third line sets the movement speed (when using either EntityMove() or arrow keys or...).

I still can't make the entity appear on the map...
Only a blank map is displayed...

Can you make sure this code definitly is being called? Just put "exit("");" at the end of it to test. If it is, you have to show us some more code, I just ran this snippet and it works like a charm. If it isn't being called and you don't know how to do that, tell me.
