I just want a working solution for this, and if it's possible to do it with verilog, then I guess I'll try that, could you possibly tell me how to do it? and post a code or something? I'm using quartus.

You can use generics/parameters at the top-level of your design, and use those to populate registers within your design. You can then use Quartus to populate the generics:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------# Generics# -----------------------------------------------------------------
# Build timestamp# - Tcl returns the same as
set timestamp
puts " - Build timestamp ($timestamp 0x)"
# Version (integer format)
set version
# Generics
set_parameter -name VERSION $version
set_parameter -name TIMESTAMP $timestamp
This Tcl code can be part of a script you explicitly call (source), or you can have Quartus run it as part of the build sequence:
