All right, to make the rocket's main engine be more effective, you can do this:
Open up Effects.txt in the Baste.rte directory. Scroll down till you see "Main Thruster Blast Ball 1". Directly under it there's a '9' that defines how heavy the blast is... 9 kilograms. If you increase this number, it will make the thruster stronger.
Good luck!

Oh wait you were talking about rockets?
Hmmm... My mistake.

is it possible to make rpgs? In that, you launch it, it's propelled by it's own force, leaves a swooshy smoke trail (VERY IMPORTANT) and explodes?

Yep, that is planned and would be very easy to implement. It may even be posisble to do with the current code by just editing the data and making some sprites for it.
You would have to make a new weapon that fires movable objects (perhaps of the ARocket class) that just fire off particles of its own (the exhaust) and gets pushed by the force of the exhaust..
Eventually the plan is to have the rockets detect when they are a short distance from impact and then explode early, in order to make maximum damage. Remote controlled rockets are definitely also a possibility (a la Liero).

That's pretty damn sweet.
While on the toppic i might just ask this: would it be possible to make exploding ammo for like a gun. I've tried to but although the bullets do explode they also bounce of of the enemy. Would help if i could make them explode on impact.

Right now there is no code in the last build to have an explosion happen on impact. As you know, the Long Cannon has explosive bullets, but they are timed only.
There will surely be impact-triggered events implemented in the future though.

Place the above in devices.txt, and make a 60x60 pixel Shield.bmp to put in your devices folder. (I would give you mine, but I can't upload images...)
You can make one by copying one of the bmp files that is already there, resizing it to 60x60, and then putting a circle of light blue with the background pink.

Awesome!
Try adding the attachment again; I think I fixed the problem.
I gotto try this shield out

There are a few problems with it.
For one it doesn't stop anything except for MOPixels.
Also if the guy dies it tends to stay put and get blown around like a tumble weed. This can be corrected by setting the lifetime from 0 to 1. That way it ceases to exist when it leaves his hand.

At first I thought that that would be impossible with the current code, but it isn't.
What you need to do is have the tracer fire be a blaster spray, and the main fire be altered frag shells with rocket emissions for their entry wound emitters. Set the tracer ratio to 2 and then fire the weapon twice in a row.
The only problem is that you then have a face full of rocket exhaust, and if the other guy hits it with his blaster it could reverse course and head straight back at you.
