Allows you to let the players change their view distance and terrain detail in your multiplayer mission using a simple dialog.

How to use?
------------

1) Extract the "otfgfx" directory into your mission root directory.

2) Add the following somewhere (on its own line) to your mission's description.ext:
   #include "otfgfx\otfgfx_dlg.hpp"

3) ExecVM "otfgfx\otfgfx_scripts.sqf", the parameters are following:
   [
      default view distance (0 - ?),
      min view distance (0 - ?),
      max view distance (0 - ?),
      default terrain detail (1 - 5),
      min terrain detail (1 - 5),
      max terrain detail (1 - 5)
   ] (all real numbers)

   All parameters are optional, if not specified otherwise default parameters will be used.

   IMPORTANT! You must send at least an empty array ( [] ):
      _null = execVM "otfgfx\otfgfx_dlg.hpp"      - will not work!!!


   Default values are:
      Default VD: 1,200m
      Min VD: 500m
      Max VD: 10,000m
      Default TD: 2
      Min TD: 1
      Max TD: 5

   Examples:
      [1500, 1000, 3000, 3, 2, 5] execVM ""otfgfx\otfgfx_scripts.sqf"";
   
      [1500, 1000, 3000] execVM ""otfgfx\otfgfx_scripts.sqf"";
   
      [] execVM ""otfgfx\otfgfx_scripts.sqf"";



4) Use the following to code to open the settings dialog for the player:
   [] call DFS_otfgfx_openSettings;


   TIP: Use an action (addAction) to open the dialog:

      a) Create a new script called "gfx_settings.sqf" in your missions' root directory
      b) Put this code into the file:
         [] call DFS_otfgfx_openSettings;
      c) Add the action to open the settings dialog to an object of your choice:
         myObject addAction ["Change graphics", "gfx_settings.sqf"];
