What cog do use for secret areas. Also, what do parameters mean? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

Parametre - something that is determined by something else. Example - a parametre in JED would be boxes you have to fill in for a cog.
As for the cog, you mean something where you enter a sector and it says "Secret Area!" and plays a little sound, right? Use 00_secretareas.cog. If you are to lazy to extract it, here it is:
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# 00_SECRETAREAS.COG
#
# Maximum of 20 Secret areas, triggered upon entering a marked sector

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.

Easy, just add 00_secretareas.cog (in Res2.gob) to your level and there should be 20 little parameters that say secret** (sector). Now find out what sectors you want to be secret and jot their numbers down and type em in the parameter boxes. If you don't have 20 sectors you want to be secret, leave the unused ones at -1.
