First CP Design

(1/3) > >>

wintermute:
I drew up my first CP in Autocad last night.

tommy:
Most people only use 4 buttons for the 3rd and 4th controles, that way you could spread things out a bit more, i personaly like the look of all 4 players with  6 but there are no games that use them all, it's up to you.

jcroach:
I've heard people say they like 6 buttons for players 3 and 4 if they plan on running console emulation.

xonix_digital:
yeah I would recommend straightening out the axes on your joysticks  :police:

wintermute:
So should player 3 and 4 be adjusted to be at the same angles as players 1 and 2?  or should all the sticks be rotated to be perfectly horizontal? (paralell to the back edge of the CP).  My original thought was that if you were standing flat adainst the angles at the front of the CP, "down" on the joystick would be right toward you, that's why I aligned the sticks and buttons with the angles on the front of the CP.  However I'm new at this so maybe in practice you wouldn't really stand like that when you were playing.

As a side note, I'm planning on doing something a little different for the display.  Rather than build in a monitor, I was going to build half a cabinet, and in the back of the cabinet put a shelf for a DLP projector that I already have.  I guess this would mean you'd be looking 5-10 feet away instead of right in front of you, so maybe this is even more of a reason to change the angle of the joysticks?
