I'm working on a fairly large map for my game and just upon completion when i'm about to open it and do the finishing touches, the file won't load but instead gives the error: "Error loading map: '0,0000' is not a floating point value"

This has happened to me before with older versions of Deled and i'm quite screwed here if you can't help me fix this map! Otherwise this is about a month of work down the drain!

Open the file in a text editor and replace all the commas with periods.

DeleD uses periods (dots) for floating point values but it may occur that Windows itself changes that into a comma while using DeleD. When you then save your map, it will contain commas instead of periods and thus, if you try to load that map again, it will fail. I have the same problems occassionally but I don't know the exact cause.

But indeed, replacing the commas to periods in a texteditor will solve the problem.

That did the trick! Thank you very much guys, you've saved my mental stability.

Excellent idea Vampyre. I want to optimize my loading/saving routines anyway so i'll implement your idea at the same time. Smile

I've added code to replace all commas by a dot when saving DMF/DPF files so this problem should not occur anymore. Available in the next version. Smile
