Possible to make A Flag-like Weapon?

Post » Thu Nov 15, 2012 11:31 am

More specifically I was searching for a weapon that was for example: A two handed weapon with a flag attached to it. Could be a two handed great sword with a flag streaming behind it, or a spear of some sort or a battleaxe. Another thought was a chest-plate armor with a flag strapped to the back flapping behind the character or not even flapping if that isn't possible. Another thought was a side arm type weapon held in the left hand in place of a shield.

I mean it could be lore friendly and have the flags of the imperial/stormcloaks or of the other factions in Skyrim. On the other hand it could also be of any of the flags of our nations, for me specifically that would entail USA. Now I'm no mod master I have made a weapon here or there but nothing like this.

So if there is anyone out there who could make this or would be willing to explain to me what I would need to do -IN DETAIL- to make it my self that would be greatly appreciated. I think it would be beast mode if i could execute some bandits with a weapon that had a flag for the stormcloaks hanging from it, or running around the tops of the mountain peeks with a banner on my back! Thanks in advance everyone! Side note, if anyone wants to just go do this, dont worry about asking me about it, I'm not looking for credit I just want the result!!! :biggrin:

Flapping would be impossible and overall it would look rather terrible being ridged when swinging.

Well, Harkon's vampire lord form has the tiniest bit of verlet physics on the cape but I'm not sure if the community has been able to replicate it. Apparently the engine is hard-coded to only do verlet physics on that one item.

Right now the armour is only for that follower but the author is going to release the armour as a standalone set. (afaik)
Here's a screenshot of the armour with a Stormcloak banner attached to the back: http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/25360-2-1350000417.jpg

thanks for the feed back guys! I really appreciate the links TehGonk and the information Didact! If there is anyone out there who could aid me in my venture I would really appreciate it! It doesn't have to be exactly like what I described but if we could get some sort of flag going, it would be a great start!
