The shader seems broken to me.
I can't see faction colors anymore (faction color under each picture):

When I tried a FAF Beta game, it looked ok. Normal FAF game looks like above.

Ideas how to fix?

You guys might want to test it across a variety of graphics settings (if you didn’t already).

I don't have the originally uploaded file any more.
Here is a new one, but without the convenient toggle. It is just the new shader on high fidelity, without the old one on medium. (The file inside is the same like it will appear in the next patch)

would be possible to make UEF's shield bubble more darker blue or something? it is really hard to see what shield cover, especially shield boat's bubble is invisible

So much for a final version.
After gathering some feedback and watching it in game for a while, I made some further tweaks. The shader now looks more consistent on different maps. It still reacts to the color of the light and the environment texture so it does not look totally the same. In fact on maps where it was bright before, there are almost no changes. But on maps like Setons Clutch where it was a bit dark, it is now noticably sparklier.
I also changed the glowing parts, toning them down a little and making it behave more like the vanilla verions.

Here are some pictures, the current one is on the left, the new one on the right.

Here is also the new file, so you can see for yourself. On high fidelity is the new version and on medium is the current one, so you can quickly compare them.

Don't forget to wipe the cache

Time for the final version:
I got rid of the shadow on bloomy surfaces and made some final improvements to the rest. I tested it on a variety of different maps and I am now satisfied with the result.
texturepack.zip

If you like to have it changed in some way, let me know, otherwise I consider this project to be sucessfully finished.

(If you like it please let me know, too)

Here is the current version of the shader.
texturepack.zip
I forgot to mention that you probably need to delete the shader cache to see the new shader. The shader cache is located here:

Code:: C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

you can delete the entire folder. It will be readded when the shaders are compiled.

If you enable cheating you can quickly change the fidelity settings with a console command
graphics_Fidelity 2 is for high fidelity and graphics_Fidelity 1 is for medium fidelity

I always felt the "tribal tattoo" patterns were lost to this overly-shiny effect on the seraphim units. This is a nice thought...

Please join us in the maps and modifications channel where there's some unit modeling and texturing work taking place:
