Resource:Shadermanager

	Warning: This is a planned resource (it's not ready yet!)

Shadermanager is a planned resource to facilitate the managment of shaders in MTA, analogous to mapmanager for maps. This page is simply here to serve as a place to share the proposed system. To discuss, contact John on #mta.

Proposed Features

• Adoption of a "type='shader'" standard to allow shadermanager to find all the shaders on a server.
• Adoption of the #shadername.defaultState setting to determine whether or not to enable the shader by default (0 for no, 1 for yes, 0 by default).
• Minimalistic GUI to allow for the enabling/disabling of shaders.
  • Small log to allow for viewing of shader-specific errors.
• Exported functions to allow shadermanager to function as a backend for other scripts (allowing someone else to implement their own GUI, for example).
  • getShaderFromName, getAllShaders, setShaderEnabled, isShaderEnabled, isShaderCompatibleWithClient
• Adoption of certain exported functions for shaders to allow shadermanager to control all the shaders on a server.
  • setShaderEnabled, isShaderEnabled
