The decimal separator on your server MUST BE a period. Otherwise vehicle spawning, among other things, will not work correctly. Most computer operating systems allow selection of the decimal mark and programs like MySQL have been internationalized to follow this.

If you live in a country that uses the comma for the radix separator mark you will have to either change the regional setting on your PC to use the period radix separator or change your PC to another country entirely that uses the period. If your feeling adventurous you could recompile MySQL to ignore this setting and always use the period.

List of countries with period radix separators:

Australia, Botswana, British West Indies, Brunei, Canada (English-speaking), Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Korea (both North and South), Lebanon, Macau, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, People's Republic of China, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States, Zimbabwe.

If you need instructions on how to do this you should search in Google "How do i change my computers regional settings" because they will vary from Operating system to system. Additionally there may be licensing issues that prevent you from changing your regional settings depending on your operating system.

NOTE: If you use FireDaemon to start your server, you must re-create the service if you change the comma separator in Windows. More info
