Or we define the interface we want to have between the shaders and the dialog now so Emillian can use it for his combined shader and others for their own shaders (e.g. I don't think the very aircraft specific balloon envelope shader will be part of the combined aircraft shader :). Someone recently mentioned that he'd like to be able to set the quality level of each shader, which makes quite good sense even if not all shaders have different quality levels - but for those level 0 is off and anything above would be on. If we could presume that no shader will have more than, say, 5 quality levels a suitable interface could be that each shader creates a /sim/rendering/shaders/foo-effect-quality property. Though, if we'd want to go fancy we could decide on (e.g.) /sim/rendering/shaders/foo-effect/quality /sim/rendering/shaders/foo-effect/max-quality (assuming 0 is the minimum/off) /sim/rendering/shaders/foo-effect/description (useful for the dialog) Making a dialog that dynamically displays a slider for all /sim/rendering/shaders/foo-effect-quality properties should not be a problem. E.g. the fuel and payload dialog displays a variable number of fuel tanks and payload items based on the properties present in the tree.
