I made this tut because a guy (maybe a girl i dunno) asked me over icq how to do that,
here's the answer, maybe you can use it too :)
Ok open up g_weapons.c and create a new think function :

void rocket_think (edict_t *self)

{

 if (self->count >= 1000) {

 self->count = 1000; 

 }

 else

 self->count *= 2;

gi.centerprintf(self->owner, "Rocket Speed %i\n", self->count);

VectorScale (self->movedir, self->count, self->velocity);

self->nextthink = level.time + .1;
self->think = rocket_think;
}

then add the line (marked with '+') to the function :
void fire_rocket (edict_t *self, vec3_t start, vec3_t dir, int damage, int speed, float damage_radius, int radius_damage)

VectorClear (rocket->mins);
VectorClear (rocket->maxs);
rocket->s.modelindex = gi.modelindex ("models/objects/rocket/tris.md2");
rocket->owner = self;
rocket->touch = rocket_touch;
+ speed = 30;
+ rocket->count = speed;
rocket->nextthink = level.time + .1;
rocket->think = rocket_think;

OK, now this time there are NO tricky solutons in this TUT... it should work just fine..
Any probs: mailto:defcon-x@planetquake.com
to MAJ.BITCH: 'Ok now ?'

And don't forget:
Now go out and kill those bastards with your accelerating rockets ;-)

cya,

maybe in heaven :))
