00135: ability to configure edge for low, medium, and high performance machines

« 00134 | Issues | 00136 »

Summary: ability to configure edge for low, medium, and high performance machines

Created: 2009–02–18 14:24

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 2.0

Released_In: 2.1

Description:

a configuration utility to configure performance settings for EDGE would be useful.

my best idea for how we might use the settings would be for the configuration utility to save off a settings file that uses the machines hostname (so machines sharing an EDGE installation don't all use the same file). Then the startup scripts could source these files after setting up all of the defaults.

Some of the settings I think could be configurable in such a utility:

  • Low res or high res earth
  • Low res or high res moon
  • Atmosphere toggle
  • Toggle of level of detail for ISS models
  • number of ztiles
  • environment reflections
  • shadow mapping
  • planet2 cache size
  • planet2 texture pages
  • planet2 bmp pages
  • planet2 detail factor
  • anti-aliasing mode
  • anisotropic filtering mode
  • sync_to_vblank toggle
  • DOUG texturing quality
  • DOUG comptex_size
  • DOUG mipmapping toggle
