Title: I find uncompatibility in metacommands? [SOLVED]
Post by: Petr on December 10, 2021, 03:32:46 pm: Hi. Try use $NoPrefix and $Color:32 in one source code. It works not. Is this OK or not?

Doesn't work.

$COLOR:32 defines us a color called Red.
$NoPrefix strips the underscore off _RED.

Now, what exactly does Red do?

It tosses errors, of course. ;)

Actually, I think the latest development build offers a fix for this. If I recall correctly, if the two commands are used in conjecture, the color names are changed slightly. Red changes to become NP_Red, or some such. I honestly don't remember exactly what the prefix is off the top of my head, but you can look inside the source folder and check that easily enough.

'Color constants for 32bit mode, based on HTML color names, when using $NOPREFIX
Const C_AliceBlue~& = 4293982463
Const C_Almond~& = 4293910221
Const C_AntiqueBrass~& = 4291663221
Const C_AntiqueWhite~& = 4294634455

They're C_ prefixed if you use both together in the latest development builds. ;)
