I recently re-realized that each level has a "master" colormap and then individual "sector" colormaps. I looked at the FAQ and I vaguely remember writing this out a long time ago:
I probably got the information from someone else, because I don't think I ever knew how or why to specify a colormap for a sector different than the master. Will someone please explain how and why to use a colormap for a sector different than the master colormap? Can I really use it to get access to more textures? For example, I'm using 06baron, which doesn't have many industrial/imperial textures, will modifying the sector colormap somehow let me get at more?
Thanks in advance.

I've set the Master Colormap, but some of my textures still have pink in them.
While each level has to have a master colormap, each sector can still be set with a different one. This is designed to be used with complementing colormaps, such as the 01 suite. If you set the master colormap, 3D-accelerated graphics cards will display the level correctly, but then when non-3D accelerated cards are used, the pink shows up. This is because the individual sector colormaps are set differently than the Master CMP. Just multi-select all of your sectors, press enter, then choose the correct colormap in the selection area.
