WHAT the hell is going on? #2

[Banshee]

terribly bug-ridden ETS

no bug reports, and test version... funny

No bug reports? There were 3 done one hour after the release. And you've replied to their topics there.

What Banshee does isn't "understanding". It's protection. 'cause if he pisses off the only Assembly-coder the TS community has, an entire community will demand his corpse.

No, you are wrong here, Ren. I'm a programmer as well and I know how boring is to waste years bug testing programs and trying to fix them, specially with something as complex as Yuri's Revenge and, even more when your code is pure assembly (in short, a mess). However, bug fixing is needed, but he shouldn't be the only one to hunt bugs.

SHP Builder, VXLSE III and other OS Tools are also bug infested tools, but they look somewhat stable. I do some basic tests to wipe the most obvious bugs, but there are kind of bugs that doesn't even get close to my imagination. Anyway, I take more time testing my tools than he does with RP, this is why the progress of these tools is slower in terms of new features, but they still look more stable than RP.

Anyway, this is how I work. He works in a different way and I respect that, even if I don't like this kind of thing either. But I know that if I get bitching like a freak, it won't help him. If I report bugs for him, I'm sure he'll be interested to take more time to make RP stable than adding things that won't work as it should. Assembly is a hard stuff. Anyway, I don't need to protect him, honestly. PaD is also a great assembly coder and even I know how assembly work and for me, hacking the TS engine like CnCVK does would be a matter of few weeks, but I prefer doing other things.
