Request for Defender CP layout details
<< < (8/11) > >>
leapinlew:
I built a bartop recently for multi-williams. One mistake I made, and I'm going to fix it by building another CP is to not put the reverse button close enough. I thought I'd be fine with it in the mockup, but in long plays - it's a small nuisance.



TheShanMan:
Well, my research indicates that Aaron Giles removed the "cheat controls" from defender, so that option may be out. I'll probably post another thread inquiring about this (maybe a source patch to get it back in?).

Paulson, I hear you, but defender was never a game I played much. I loved it, but it was too freakin' hard. Now that it's free, I want to get good at it. ;D I do agree, the original layout would be best, but since this isn't a dedicated defender panel, I have more to consider than just what's ideal for defender. That's why I'm considering alternate control layouts.

Leapinlew, thanks for the input. If I do add the left thumb button, I will almost certainly put it in the "right" spot, though it requires a minor modification to my mag stik plus (cutting away some of the mounting plate).

Everything else is a compromise. I'm sure everyone with Defender experience will tell you the same thing. I built a machine, just for it.
TheShanMan:
You know, leapinlew, since I have swappable panels I'm actually tempted to just make a dedicated defender panel! 2 way joysticks and buttons are cheap, after all. And I'm already in the process of making a dedicated tron panel! Only problem is time (this hobby can be a real time sink, huh?).

 I saw someone else on here who built a Williams Multi panel & had to
 cut away the bottom of the joystick so he could get it close enough...

 Nice cab btw... ;)
