Dwarven FATMAN V1.2

FATMAN: Yet another one of the dwarfs master creations. A huge tank that owns the battle field. It got its name for obvious reasons. A army on wheels equiped with every known dwarven weapon. Its armor is heavily fortified only weak against seige attacks.
The dwarfs feel that they already have plenty of tank models and theres no need for more!!!


Everything from scratch except:
Textures from Blizzard. Dwarf Model Meshes by Blizzard. (I reanimated the dwarf)
Most of the death explosion particles are a modified combination of WILLTHEALMIGHTY's nuke, and anarchianbedlam's PUMA(flares).

Thx to Blinkboy for the great animation tutorial.
Thx also to all the modelers who made the great tank and explosion type models, I've looked over many of them and studied them.

FILE SIZE: This model file is 373kbs, when compressed in your maps mpq it shrinks to 95.9kbs. Which means it really only takes 95.9kbs of map file size.

I ran it through MDLVIS optimizer with most ticks checked. After that I ran it through Mdx Squisher. Also When making the mesh/animations I was really careful to be effecient as possible with high quality too. The only issues you should have with this, is it may cause some lag during death explode when it shoots out tons of particles.

Why is this model still pending? I would really like a moderator to approve it. I already fixed all issues. Your have to test it in the game to see. The lights flickering. And on off states DOES work in the game but not in other model viewers. Also death explosion particles and smoke are better in game. This has to be tested IN GAME. And you will see that everything is fixed and works correctly.
