The latest version of the small compiler (2.6) is interperating my menu color commands as escape sequences, and is giving me errors a' plenty.

Does anyone know any ways of getting around this?

Example:

new szMenu[64];
format( szMenu, 63, "\yYellow, \rRed, \dGrey, \wWhite" );

This gives me 4 compiling errors, like this:

error 027: invalid character constant

Originally Posted by small documentation 027 invalid character constant One likely cause for this error is the occurrence of an unknown escape sequence, like "\x". Putting multiple characters between single quotes, as in 'abc' also issues this error message. A third cause for this error is a situation where a character constant was expected, but none (or a non-character expression) were provided.

I would really love some help on this.

^\y
You basically need to escape the \

Does that really color a menu though?

I've tried it an still no luck.. any other suggestions?

SOLVED

#pragma ctrlchar '^' 

This sets the control character back to ^ like it was in previous versions of the compiler.

remember that 0.20 has a new compiler. 2.60 is not compiled for amx mod x specific settings and you'd need to do this:
sc.exe -^ -C-
