Daggerfall Mod:DFRemake/DarkBasic Wishlist

This page lists all the features and improvements we'd like to see added to DarkBasic.

• Consistant Command Naming: For example SET LIGHT RANGE and COLOR LIGHT (why isn't it SET LIGHT COLOR?). Makes it harder to guess commands (fortunately the coloring of commands in the IDE helps).
• Type Conversions: Make it easier to define implicit type conversions. For example, if I divide 2 integers and assign the value to a float, it should not truncate the factions. Currently in order to do this I have to define one or more temporary float values.
• Built-In String Formatting: There needs to be some way of created nicely formatted strings from numbers, like what you can do with the C printf() function. Something like StrFormat$(Value, Width, Decimals, Flags) would do.
• Compile Progress: The current compile progress bar is difficult to gauge the overall progess of the compile (assumably it goes from 0-100 for each file?). A slightly improved progress dialog including current file and overall progress would be appreciated.
