Model viewer

Starting the Model Viewer

Windows

Create a shortcut to pioneer.exe. Edit shortcut properties, and add " -mv" to the end of the Target box, so that the whole Target is something like:

   C:\Users\jpab\pioneer\Pioneer.exe -mv

Then you can run the model viewer by using the shortcut.

Or use the command line (like Linux)

OS X

Hold down the Option key while clicking on the pioneer.app icon to launch the model viewer instead of the game.

Or use the command line (like Linux)

Linux

Pass the "-mv" flag when running the game:

   pioneer -mv <optional model name>
