Is there a guide for converting old modules I have a few unreleased ones that are bugging up :D.

No guide, though if you look at all the examples it should be fairly straight forward. Combine that with the docs and you should have everything you need.

Thanks for fixing this for the new svn. Is there a guide for converting old modules I have a few unreleased ones that are bugging up :D.
Welcome. It was a good 'learner' conversion for me, along with "ulx explode" release by MrPresident.
Though I'd intended to do some tutorial text of some sort, I, as if often the case, keep getting distracted by that darn 'reality'.
If you compare the conversion to the original ULX commands, along with our ULysses Library document area that explains in effect what ULib commands are being used by the ULX command object, you can pretty well figure it out.
See http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ULib/shared/commands-lua.html for the ULib shared commands system ULX uses.
One major point I absolutely love... majority of the error checking each and every function written for ULX had to do originally, such as minimum parameters, variables, target(s), etc, is now done by the function command object itself.
Though your rocket release was a minilmalist conversion example (48 lines in SVN as opposed to 52 in your original), much work is now handled by ULib, instead of relying on the function to check everything.
I digress... I look forward to your continued work and releases.
Post in developers corner, or email me personally (if your wanting to keep a release private) if you have conversion questions.

Perhaps I'll write up a dirty tutori... oh, wait, whats that... ooo...shiny! Huh, what, what was I doing?

Umm there are no instruction on how to download this...How do you download this??? There aren't even any links... also another question, some other plugins said you need ulib svn or something I have ToroiseSVN that I used for phx3, but I have no idea how to use TortoiseSVN, can someone tell me how to use it to download this plugin, cause I wanna download it...

Look just a little harder?
Aptly named forum area named SVN - http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/board,26.0.html
Stickies are important. (Those are the topics forum mods designate as important, and turn them into topics that won't move to back pages as other topics are discussed)
Just remember... SVN for us is more 'beta' code than for many other releases (Phx, Wire, etc)

Should be an easy fix. Perhaps Ahref will want to change the script so that it removes rocketeers from noclip mode.

Ahref, not sure if you've seen my post... Kind of a How To/Comparison of old vs new ULX command structure. See the SVN forum area.

This addon was last updated in 2010. The author of this addon has not been here since 2010.

I would bet that it doesn't work, and as for getting it updated to work with GM13 someone would probably have to pick this up since I doubt the author will be around.

Very nice! Thanks! :)

In the future, if you fix something, post it. :) That is, of course, unless you planned on keeping it private.

I'm trying to install this, but I don't know where to add it. Just in Addons?

I am having this strange glitch where the trail sticks to the player no matter what and they have to rejoin to lose it. Any ideas of how to remedy this?

There is a problem with the "fixed" version.

If you rocket someone up/down he flys and then dies (as planned).

But uppon death his camera freezes where he died and he is still in the 'alive' list and can talk to the people alive.

Talking about TTT Gamemode.

Does this not work with TTT or is this not ment for TTT in the first place?

The same thing happens with slay (in TTT) so its not specific to this plugin.
