The decimal separator on your server MUST BE a period. Otherwise vehicle spawning, among other things, will not work correctly. Most 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 you will have to either change the regional setting on your PC to use the period radix separator or set your PC to another country entirely. 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" since the method with vary depending on what version of OS you are using. Additionally there may be licensing issues that prevent you from changing your regional settings depending on how your operating system was installed.

NOTE: In most cases when the regional settings are modified it is recommended to perform a clean install of MySQL. If you are not using the standard MySQL install please reference the support documentation provided with your software(ie. XAMPP,WAMP, EasyPHP, FireDaemon)
