Quick question about the material editor - is there a way of changing the
preview model? A sphere isn't much use in a lot of cases! I may have missed
it, I only gave it a quick look but nothing jumped out at me as doing the
job.

Yeah, the crossbow does just this when you zoom in (as does any zoom afaik)
Take a look at the zoom_sensitivity_ratio cvar in c_baseplayer.cpp (ep1) or
view.cpp (ob), it's doing (pretty much) exactly what you want (obviously,
just use your own value in place of the cvar) Jed.

I used a custom proxy to load a suitable image on my loading panels, rather
than changing anything in the UI code itself - you could probably use
something like this, or a procedural material to display dynamic text too.
The meat of the proxy is as follows:

I think the mod you're talking about was Caliber - last I knew the coder
