  nested #macro definitions? (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

Hi everybody!

This is something I do not understand.
I want to run a macro in MegaPOV 0.5, that was made by Fabien Mosen (the

mannequin). I have no problems with it in POV-Ray 3.1, nor had I
problems in SuperPOV, as far as I remember.
Now however, I get an error message (at the second macro declaration)
telling me that:
        "nested #macro definitions are not allowed in MegaPov. Please
separate the definitions."

Why is this? What should I do? I tried the #version official 3.1;
command line, but this does not change anything.
I attach the two script files so you can test it for yourself.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Cheers!

Thomas

MegaPOV has a patch to increase the speed of macros, unfortunately it 
does not allow nested macro definitions. I do not think this patch is 
affected by the #version directive, the only way you could turn it off 
would be to recompile MegaPOV without this patch.
Also, when you post a scene to demonstrate a problem or bug, please trim 
it down to just the portion that shows the problem. The scene you posted 
was much larger than necessary.

Please don't use vcards here. Of those 9 lines, only 2 were useful 
information. Please stick to signatures, since anyone can see them 
properly.
