The following is a list of material types as of 1/11/08. This is stored in src/engine/decals.h, so you can check that list to see if it is up-to-date. To make a material use a particular material type, edit your surfaceproperties.txt file and set "gamematerial" to a string containing the letter shown below. For example, to make something metal, you would use

"gamematerial" "M"
