Can't get PlayWang to play TC ?

Psykomanius · 09-18-2007, 06:17 PM

I have v3.2 of PlayWang.
I can't play Total Conversions

I have "twindrag.grp" in SW\Games
When i hit play, i got a error " '3.9' is not a valid floating point value"

Wierd, tried it here and it works fine.
What is PlayWang executing, Sw.exe or Swp.exe and what version ?
Do other TC's execute ok ?
Try renaming the PlayWang.ini to something else and delete or remove the PlayWang.cfg if its there.
Otherwise I see no reason, although I do remember way back someone having a similar 'floating point' error but that was a hardware problem.

Check your Windows language setup in the Regional tab in the Control Panel and check if your system uses a comma instead of a decimal point for floating numbers.
German systems do that as far as I know and I need to make PlayWang understand German like I did with SwpStartup

Ok PlayWang is now German compatible and the floating point can be anything including a comma

This problem also occured when trying to play a saved game.
