Will do that (@least try to ;)).

Not much place left there though...
& we will soon need a complete reorganization for the graphic options when arisian finishes what he is currently doing ?!

What about splitting the normal options like resolution, brightness, gamma, contrast, fullscreen & the advanced graphic options ?
But this has not to be done today, but maybe in the near future...
What do you think ?

No, because this is already done by 'texture resolution cap'.  ;)

Here is a small preview:

@Mattn: I would also like to restructure the video options to sort them more logically, but I do not know if that would cause execution problems somewhere as options.ufo structure already indicates, so maybe it will be better to upload v1 of this upgrade first...
Also it would be nice if you could doublecheck my explanations after I upload this ;)

I cannot make a correct upload with this 'long' jpg somehow, but you get the idea...

@Kildor: You want it now ? It is not ready, but I can give you the wip if you want, so you can doublecheck everything, but I am still adjusting stuff & I know that there are inconsistencies & errors there still...

To be honest with you, I did not imagine this to be so much work, almost incredible how many options we have already  :D

I have thought about many things, I will upload a diff now for you, please post some code what you exactly would like or if you like you can polish this after my first version is finished (~1 hour)...
I would also like to see many improvements to the GUI & the HUD also, but I thought that tooltips for the graphics menu especially would really be important for 2.3, so I started with those...

Note again: This is still wip !

WIP version deleted as new version is already in trunk.

@MCR
Nice, very Nice.

Lightmap block size: from small to large, but which setting provides the best quality?
Texturdetailierungsgrad?
Isometric: I never quite understood how and whether the effect only in the Geoscape.
Multisampling buffer?
Swap interval:?

Lightmap size: what is it?

Only this Options confusing me now.^^

Isometric affects the battlescape. It means that everything is drawn at the same size no matter how far away it is from the camera. If it is off, you will get a perspective view.

@VaeliusNoctu: Read the .diff, where (almost) all of your questions are answered already or wait till it is finished.  ;)
