Title: 4-player template
Post by: crashdmj on June 12, 2003, 08:27:46 pm

Anyone have any 4-player Visio templates I can mess around with? Perhaps in the range of a 40x18" or above range?

I have a photoshop file if you are interested.  Here is a preview of it:

Several people asked me for the photoshop file so here it is:  It will be available until I start school again.

Hi all,
   The file is kind of large ~ 6 megs, however, you can print it out and use it as a drill guide/model/whatever.  To print I saved it as a tiff and printed in Microsoft paint with the lowest margins possible.  I then cut out the margins where necessary (every other page) and taped them together.  It worked really well.

The cp I used is loosely modeled after this one: http://www.slikstik.com/photosquad.htm (http://www.slikstik.com/photosquad.htm)

Here are the files:    http://www-personal.umich.edu/~stevebec/ (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~stevebec/)

Cp2_rev6.psd            The entire template: Each component has its own layer, so it is like a sand box.
Joystick and buttons      A photoshop file of a joystick and 6 buttons
Trackball         You guessed it!  A photoshop file of a trackball

Photoshop may not be the best thing to do this sort of work in, however, it is what I felt most comfortable with and what I had.  It really was pretty easy to manipulate my cp.

Good luck!
