I was looking for clarification and I got it. Thank you for all the feedback, everyone. If I am missing 3.0, how would I go about getting it? That is all that shows up when I go to select the version of the shader. I suppose the final question I should ask is, is 3.0 compatible with PreCu SWG, and if so, am I missing it, or is it hiding? I do not know if this was how it always was, but it feels a bit off in my opinion, so I was in search for answers.

I was happy with the result but I noticed that the reflections do not move or alter when you move your camera, just when the character moves. You could wager the Protocol Droid looks better in 2.0, which I wouldn't immediately disagree, but the lack of the envmap is a bit jarring and makes it look matte and dull. I was wondering why it was showing an Envmap for reflections in 1.4 but not in 2.0, which should be that and more. For instance, below, I've taken a comparison shot of 2.0 and 1.4. The primary reason I started this thread is because I have been wondering why 1.4 looks better than 2.0, and if I was perhaps missing something in the pipeline. I had suspected that 'Optimal' was 3.0 and so I was looking for a 4.0, but I suspect my top version is 2.0, as no 3.0 appears on the list. When I used to do modding for SWG a long time ago I hadn't fully understood the limitations of the game's engine in such a way that I could tell the difference. Thanks for any assistance, I am hoping to get my client as graphically updated as possible, and don't want the base client itself not being all it can be to start with. I am wondering if this is just a wild Unicorn and 4.0 either doesn't exist or was an NGE only thing, or if my client is significantly missing a graphical upgrade. I did some more research and discovered some references to a Vertex/Pixel Shader Version 4.0, but my client does not have this available. 1.4 gives me these reflections but they're static on the model (you can see the reflection almost plastered on the texture, not a true reflection). When my client uses 'Optimal' it has dull, matte reflections, none at all. So I did some research and it seems reflections of that calibre are related to the Pixel Shader version being used. Most notably, I had started to see screenshots of Protocol Droids, Chrome Rims, and other shiny materials actually displaying a reflection, and had remembered that this was a thing I saw back on live, before the NGE. I've been on a quest to get my game looking as fantastic as possible, but I recently noticed there was some discrepancies between what my client had been seeing, and what I had seen a few generic Screenshots of SWGEmu displayed.

So this might be a strange one to talk about.
