Nick me boi, you pretty, but I ain't relying on your measuring faculties no mo.

VPK addon. Click it and you're good to go.

Works in solo and on local servers only. I originally hadn't tested it with another person because I have no friends.

**EDIT:** After hours of begging and crying to my sweet sweet gf, she finally agreed to help me test it. Here are the results:

- **Official servers:** The addon doesn't load, regardless of who has it installed. - **Local server, only the host has the addon:** YOU will see Nick's Tank, but THEY won't (they'll actually see a giant red "ERROR" chasing them lmao). - **Local server, both players have the addon:** Everyone sees Nick's Tank (yay!). - **Local server, only the joining player has the addon:** The normal Tank spawns instead.

The thing is twelve feet tall, or 3.66 m for the extremely tiny minority of people who still use the old metric system.

Works with all three Tank models.

The Tank has been scaled up, along with its hitboxes, rocks, and trees. Might clip through some walls tho. I've also thrown in a 50% HP bonus coz I'm generous like that.

Some people don't like the extra HP, so I'll let this addon run for a while to iron out any recurring issues. Once everything seems stable, I'll release other versions with different HP bonuses.

**EDIT 2 — Texture compatibility:**

You can combine it with other texture mods, as long as they replace the textures or materials used by these paths:

- `materials/models/infected/hulk/hulk_01.vmt` - `materials/models/infected/hulk/hulk_l4d1.vmt` - `materials/models/infected/hulk/hulk_traincar_01.vmt`

On the other hand, it will conflict with addons that replace `models/infected/hulk.mdl` or the other Tank model files. So if you want to customize Nick's Tank, make sure your other addons only affect texture or material files.

**EDIT 3 — Invisible Tank fix:**

If your Nick's Tank was invisible, I've uploaded a new version that includes some missing files.

**EDIT 4 — Consistency and hitbox fixes:**

New version that fixes the consistency issues (so you should no longer get those pesky "kicked for wrong model lmao" messages, on any server whatsoever — but tell me if it happens again!) AND fixes the hitboxes for the L4D1 and The Sacrifice Tanks.

I'm a little worried this update might bring back the invisibility issues, so please let me know if that happens again.

Please keep reporting any issues you encounter, guys. I want no one left out of the fun!
