Matcen Tut
There is no need to run DALLAS to get a matcen working... but the settings are many and not set up for you by default.
First, name the room you want the matcen in, using either 'Room Properties' or 'IO', and take note of the face you want to the effect to spawn from. The spawned object will spawn at the room center.
Windows>Matcens opens the Matcen dialog,
'Attach' tab: 'Attach type': set to 'Room and faces', 'Attach Room/Object': your matcen room. For 'Spawn Points' enter 1 or more in 'Quantity', then list the face(s) below that. This is the face the materialization effect will emanate from, the spawned object will always spawn at the room center.
In the 'Produce' tab, set Number of Object types to 1 or more, then you can select the objects from the drop-downs. Set 'Qty.' to the total number of each object to be produced in the life of the matcen. When to produce is self explanatory, below that you must set the 'Maximum Objects Produced' and 'Number of Alive Children' to 1 or more. Don't forget to check the 'Enabled' box!
There is no need to change anything in the 'Display' tab, but you can change the visual and sound effects here if you want.
