Speeding up conversions 3.94 - 4.00

[Dare2]

Haven't seen this posted else, if this is a duplicate, my apololgies.

Macro makes it easier to convert 3.94 to 4.00 - not in every instance, but in many.

Search/Replace/Rename an old command and set up a macro for the new name - For example, replace ClearScreen with oldClearScreen and then create a macro:

Code: Select all

Macro oldClearScreen(r,g,b)
  ClearScreen(RGB(r,g,b))
EndMacro

Sometimes, no need to search/rename:

Code: Select all

Macro eventGadgetID
  EventGadget
EndMacro

This is proving pretty useful on a biggish old project right now.

Neat.

Great minds think alike! - we'll ignore the other part of that quote.

Anyone got any other suggestions for easing the transition?
