well I was wondering if you could make it so that for example a rocket round can you make it so that when you pick it up it gives you like 15 bullets?

You'd have to modify the source. I'm pretty sure this is found in src/fpsgame/game.cpp. Look in there for a set of weapons, and there should be two numbers there (number you get when you pick it up and max number you can hold.) Once you tweak these you'll have to recompile the source into an executable. This process differs between operating systems but I'm sure if you use the handy "search" tool here on the forum you'll find some set of instructions.

Just to warn you, don't try to use hacks like this online. It will get you banned.

Changing the ammount of ammo you pick up and hold? I'm no expert but I think picking up 15 rockets instead of 5 is quite an advantage. Maybe I misunderstood the question.

Last I heard, health and ammo were handled server-side.
I could be wrong, though...

I don't think you are, since lag causes weapon pickup to be effective in your client later.

You may put 3 entities "rockets" at the same point (snap to grid can be usefull). You'll see only one, I think, but you'll pick 15 rockets instead of 5, each time.

That's some kind of hidden ammo, but it would be maybe less unfair than the hidden health in tejen's pool.

...which is a bad idea in terms of mapping. The player should be able to see what they're picking up.
Take a look at MeatROme's 4b--at the start, ammo is placed in front of you, not in the same place as the playerstart. It's so you know what you get.

Oh, and in the three-rockets-in-one-place system, one potential problem is that someone comes along with 10 rockets already, and only picks up one... Now the next person that comes along (or the same person later) tries to pick up the 15, but only gets 5. Could be troublesome.
