Q1: What is the difference between the 3 TAG levels (mentioned at a side node in TAG entry)?
Q2: Does TAG apply only to the target which has been hit by the missile or can it affect ships which are caught in the radius of "TAG shockwave"?


That is the bugger for which I'm doing this (yet untested missile!)

The Wiki has info. Check "weapons.tbl"

[0rph3u5]

that is the answer to question 1
thx

but question 2 is untouched and now I have a question 3:
Q3: Is there an effect connected with TAG level 3 now?

[Solatar]

Without actually referencing anything, something about subspace missiles comes to mind I think. In order for subspace missiles to function, however, you need to do some messing with ssm.tbl as well. See what the entry on ssm.tbl has in it, it may tell you that "in order to use, you must have the weapon set to tag level N"

[colecampbell666]

Is ssm.tbl subspace missile.tbl?

[TrashMan]

ya....in that table you define what missiles will be launched trough subspace!

[colecampbell666]

Really? What is it?

[akenbosch]

you define missles in it (WMcoolmon did it), and add the "ssm" field & and SSM flag too whatever weapon will call it.

its full of bugs though...
