While I understand where everyone is comming from on this, what's important here is that the tools made available to users should be as bug free as possible. A slight variance on these values and it could hose someone's ECU. A lot of the new people getting their hands on these tools don't have the knowhow on breaking down the ROM files manually and depend on "ready made" tools such as xmlwrite to create the defs for them. This brings me back to the original statements made by me months ago that there's not one "comprehensive" app that has correct functionality in it or rather... a high percentage of correctness in it's capabilities. This again comes from people just writing apps for themselves to cover their ROMs only and then just releasing the software for everyone's use. While I can't sit here or for that matter all of us sit here and expect free software to be at the same level of commercialy available software it would be nice to have just one app that works well and correctly.
Like I said, I'm not trying to start a war or anything... I just think that everyone's efforts would be better spent on "one" "perfect" solution rather then 10 piecemealed ones. For example, Colby has one app that now does flashing and tuning, but he's missing a lot of defs for it. If xswrex could build a library of correct offsets (yes, that means with proper cel size views ) for it and have Colby bundle it in the setup imagine how a well-rounded app it would be.
Let's work smart, not hard... That's all I'm trying to say. Trust me, I feel bad always stating these things because I don't have the nessacery knowledge that you guys have to create these great pieces of work from scratch, but I think what we're missing in this community is "Project Management".
Good day to everyone.
