Star Wars bezel animation
#395907 - 04/02/23 10:59 AM


Was looking at the example given for Star Wars
Star Wars: animation on two axes at

https://docs.mamedev.org/techspecs/layout_script.html#star-wars-animation-on-two-axes

but cant make heads or tails of it, after multiple searches I cant find any other info on using this.
Has anyone succeeded using this example for any analogue controls??

I took a long look at this a while back, and while they did make it POSSIBLE to animate along 2 axes, this would require hundreds of image files to cover every x/y coordinate possible for a flight yoke. Unless they add some kind of 3D support for objects, I don't see how you could do this in a realistic-looking way. Too bad, as there are numerous games this could be used with.

Thanks for answering I was actually trying to get aztarac Joystick working from your file, would be nice to get a working example of any 2 axis analogue just for an example, I did make a Gottlieb stick for it. Using Gorf stick to start.

This is what I have for the stick decal. Don't know if it helps.

Thanks, had that but made the Gotlieb stick to match the control panel image I found online.

Great news Got Aztarac Flight stick working, willupload to my
drive as you need the flight stick images. But got it, started by copying the Starwars example into a blank lay file and worked back from there. I left all the notes in the lay file so anyone can compare the original to what I ended up with and see the changes I made. First thing was to change all the coordinates to pixel's, so I could throw everything into Gimp and set locations. The movement is fairly slow but I'm testing on a laptop with no real analogue controls to try out. The Way the Stick moves just doesn't seem like a Yoke would translate correctly. My be You can use the method you did for the rotation and the script for the forward back?? Will try to post a small video
