So thaaat's how it works...

These are big fish, there will be a max of some 6 turrets firing them from a single ship (one that's about a nautical mile long) with the previous volley long gone and forgotten when the next one fires, so I don't think I'll cross the spam limit.

There is another problem however- using $swarm makes the missiles enter subspace, then there is an empty warp near the target, but no missiles...
They apparently get lost in subspace somewhere.

Anyone ever get swarm subspace missiles that spawn bombs near the target to work properly?

[BengalTiger]

Any tips on those missiles?

Local SSMs with child muntitions don't work?

[BengalTiger]

Yup, last time I tried I ended up getting empty warps when they were supposed to exit subspace their target.

Edit: It's a bit late here, I'll dig up and post the missile and all other required .tbl files tomorrow, with its model set to have the Helios and the bombs being whatever so no models are needed so you could give it a look/try, maybe I didn't get everything right....

[Droid803]

Hm, might want to consult with the #scp guys as to why that's happening, unless you did something weird like having your detonation distance from target be greater than the warpin distance in which case I can see it failing.

I've had my own set of problems with spawn (MIRV-style) torpedoes, though I didn't try to make them SSMs, too. Somehow, the main warhead always detonated on launch. This might be fixed though, I need to check with most recent builds.

[BengalTiger]

Had the same thing, don't remember the fix, but somehow I did it- only to have missiles that manage to warp out, but don't warp in.

IIRC having the missiles as HEAT seekers did make everything work, but then the bombs didn't inherit the target the cruise missile was fired at or something... I'll have to look through that again, I didn't work on that specific problem for a couple months.

Edit: Frontal view of the battleship and frigate:

[Nyctaeus]

Looks interesting. Do You have all these ships ingame, and they are only HTL remakes?

[BengalTiger]

I should get the frigate (actually- frigates, both share a common hull but differ in weapons and stats) running in a couple days- the only major thing missing is the hull texture.
The battleship still needs details such as windows, then I'll have to UV map the hull (all turrets are ready), and convert it.

Neither has any low poly/placeholder in game.

* notes on the TODO-list: learn how to use mantis and report own problems with local SSMs and other bugs
local SSMs seem to have quite a few bugs ; last time I checked, swarm ssm would just sit and turn toward their target upon exit

[BengalTiger]

In that case I guess the problem ain't in my .tbl editing skills...

I'll play around and see what sort of issues I could find, and make a report.

Update

T-MFg Edinburgh:





T-MFg Tarascon:






The hulls are identical, only the turret types and main weapons differ. The Tarascon is the newer unit, and once it's in game I'll take a look at those subspace missiles.

[Droid803]

I spy some nasty lighting errors resulting from bad booleans.

[Nyctaeus]

Top-mounted main weapon is only difference?

[BengalTiger]

I'll blame Truespace.

Top-mounted main weapon is only difference?

The secondaries on the top and bottom are also changed, other than that, the models are the same.

[Rampage]

Ships look interesting, but those textures...are they a choice of personal taste?

[BengalTiger]

Partially because I like to use the KISS rule, partially because I want to get everything working now, and maybe making it look better later on.

Anyways, the really thin lines showing the polygons will disappear, so the maps will look a bit better when I get done with them now.

[BengalTiger]

Slowly, a group of random polygons, cuboids and drilled out holes becomes the hull of the T-MCa Carcassonne, seen here between the battleship hull, and a corvette and frigate on the other side.
It's just over 3800 meters long (compared to the 3200 meter BB, 1600-ish meter Fg and 550 meter Cv) and it'll be the biggest moving object built and used by the Tiigran-Merisst.

The little black object inside one of its hangars is the T-MB Clibanarius, 28 meters high, 49 meters wide and 67 meters long.



With this in production, there's only 15 models I still need to begin, among others- 3 containers, 2 prime movers, a transport and a repair ship.
