About This File

Wings come from a hussar armor present in Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword. (TaleWorlds policy dictates that anyone who uses this asset should own With Fire and Sword.)

 

The wings needed a few fixes, which I introduced, including 1 missing feather on the left wing of the full-detail model, which I created and put into the empty spot.

 

The screenshots show how the wings look like attached to Heraldic Mail with Surcoat in Warband.

All the code and explanations necessary to create an in-game armor are posted here: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/hussar-heraldic-armor.458510/

 

The sounds were the most fun to make - first of all, where could I possibly find a recording of actual hussar wings in 2023? Or how would I know how dozens of featers sound moved by strong wind? Well, luckily someone was unique enough of a person to take an actual feather, swish it with all his might over 70 times, record the result and release it for free.

Now, all I need to do is take those swishes and play them over each other in a sequence a few hundred times. Making sure single swish doesn't overlap with itself or appear too close to itself was a challenge, but math helped.

I think the result is pretty believable. History says that hussar wings were making unbearable noise, scaring enemy horses and soldiers.

History also says that wings were often made from goose feathers, but other poultry and even eagle feathers were sometimes in use. The recording I got was made with crow feather, and while no historical record of using crow feathers exist to my knowledge, I'm gonna settle for what I have.

 

Now also with optional upscaled texture for the armor itself. Will improve visuals of both the original Heraldic Mail with Surcoat and our hussar armor.
