change texture quality settings

Unity Engine
1

I’m building a “settings” menu for players and I want to allow hem to adjust certain things like resolution, texture quality etc. I see Unity list quality in a ranking system inthe editor. How do I let players adjust these settings in app? Can I do this via programmatically? User clicks button a for example and changes texture from good to ultra for example?

So, I haven’t delved in to this myself yet, but there is an API:

If you want to allow the user to choose one of the existing quality settings, it looks like you can use the QualitySettings.names array to populate a drop-down menu or something. Then you can pass the selected index into SetQualityLevel.

Additionally, it looks like you can set each item individually for a custom quality level.

I got this so far. Is there any thing else I would need for 2d games?

    private int _Quality;
    private int _AntiAliasing;

    {
        //Screen Resolution
        List<string> options = new List<string>();
        int currentresolution = 0;

        resolutions = Screen.resolutions;
        _dlScreenResolutions.ClearOptions();

        for(int i = 0; i < resolutions.Length; i++)
        {
            string option = resolutions[i].width.ToString() + " x " + resolutions[i].height.ToString();

            options.Add(option);

            if(resolutions[i].width == Screen.currentResolution.width && resolutions[i].height == Screen.currentResolution.height)

I don’t suppose this is part of “Quality settings” in Unity, but you might want to include settings for whatever post-processing filters that you are using as well. If you have any settings that are only “nice to have” bu might have a significant performance impact.

We only make 2d games. What settings post processing to you suggest we have/add?

No need to add them if you don’t need any.

I just meant that if you already had post-processing effects then you could add those options in your graphics settings screen.
