Just got the idea cause I am trying to find out how to addjust the distance of the ships in the techroom....has anyone ever thought about a zoom function for the techroom?

Btw what do I have to edit to get ships closer/away from the cam in the techroom?
Wasn't it the $Detail distance:      stuff in the ships tbl?

WMCoolmon's got a secret feature that is about ready to let you set this on the fly (or at least look at it).  But ultimately Phreak's right, it's Closeup_pos that sets the distance at which the object is rendered in the techroom viewport.

It's not so secret anymore, actually, I revealed the secret in one of my builds. ;) Press F3 in the main hall, or ~ and backspace ingame in a debug build to activate it.

$Detail distance sets the distance that different LODs are rendered.

I know it's been revealed, it's just so much more fun to refer to it as a secret. ;)  This particular use of the lab raises problems though, since I can't get it to enter a negative sign.
