OK, here it is. My first C++ question 
I want to create a new material. Isn't this done with:
> BaseMaterial *mat = Alloc(Mmaterial);
I get a compiler error:
> error: 'Alloc' was not declared in this scope
Anyone?

Hello,
better to use
BaseMaterial *mat = BaseMaterial::Alloc(Mbase);
Cheers

There is no generic Alloc() method. Use the static Alloc() associated with the class type.

OK, I'm now trying to use this new material, called 'mat' and assign it to a TextureTag. Like this:

I get a new compiler error:

What does this mean? Should work like this, no?

Seems easy enough.

Hm, I think this is easy enough. But what if I really really wanted to use containers for this?

You could try:
container->SetLink(TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL, mat);
or
container->SetData(TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL, GeData(mat));
but I can't guarantee that these work.

Check the example below if you really want to use a container.
