At the moment im making a scene. Its my first one and ive spend alot of time making it, however.... I keep getting errors about trying to use a material that isnt in use or something along those lines. It comes up as material #183 but when I searched the scenes.ini I couldnt find what was causing it. Any ideas?

I take it you are trying to use a custom mat.

yes... is that bad?

Is the material defined prior to being used?

im guessing you mean have I defined it first... I so, I cant find where it defines it because when i search I get no results. As soon as the map loads it crashes with that error

It helps to actually make a material if you want to use it...

does it matter which number I use?

Not unless you try to put two mats on teh same index.

I really really have no idea how to confuse a scene into loading a non-existant material...

this happened to my bloodguard mod aswell but I set the index number to 10000 or something and it worked. Maybe I can do the same. But how do I add a custom index number to the mat?

Do you have any idea what you are doing?

everything works fine apart for that index number... and no. Im very confused by these new material index things... I dont understand em at all

It's not exactly difficult, Data posted it himself, a number between 0 and 255 that is not already in use.

right, where abouts do I put this in the scenes code?

1.) That index is taken.

2.) That color is taken.

3.) Before you try to load it into anything...

It has to have diff color aswell?! And index 4 is undefined. According to Data
