Each channel of material_map refers to a material from the materials list. There are four channels, rgba, so r = material 0, g = material 1, b = material 2 and a = material 3.

In the Game.Area.Data the Image material_map should actually be one channel (for simplicity only the most significant material is stored) IMAGE_I8 type, so you can use Image.pixel(x, y), and it's the index for the materials array.
MaterialPtr m=materials[material_map.pixel(x,y)];

Oh yes, I see that now after actually reading the header comments. My bad.
