Unfallzeuge: I just found out, that material-sequences only work on static meshes and NOT on brushes - (you'll see just a solid colour). Take care that the orientation of your polygons (of your mesh) is right, flip them or make a 2-sided material to show the material-sequence properly.

LionsPhil: Actually, if you get the camera reeeally close, it appears that the scaling goes all wrong in the game and you get many tiny repetitions of your texture (as if you'd set the scale to some very small number). Bizzarely, it's fine in the editor itself.

Fisholith: Solution! After playing around with the use of material sequences on BSP in a level, I found that if you scale them by x1024 they look exactly like a x1 scale normal texture. That is to say, whatever normal texture-scale you want a "Material Sequence" texture to appear at, (e.g. 0.5), just multiply that number by 1024, and use the resulting value to scale the material sequence texture (e.g. 0.5 * 1024 = 512). I hope this helps out. Take care everyone.
