Profile / Memory Analyzer

... always give the error message that xx.xx is not a valid floating value (oops, why not?) Not that I needed them badly, I was just playing around and thought that should be looked at.

[kornalius]

Can you please elaborate a little more? Are you using the Pro version?

[zehlein]

yes it is a registered pro version 1.06

[zehlein]

kornalius, is this error not reproducable for you?

[kornalius]

When do you get this error message. When you start the PIDE, PPL itself, the Editor, the VFB? Where?

[zehlein]

I start PIDE, open let's say bounce.ppl, then Run-> Profile. The program compiles, runs and after I close it the error message occurs.

[matteo.m]

I Just tried and i have the same error message

[PointOfLight]

I did not get the error, but I am still running 1.05 Professional. I'm also running under Windows 2000 Professional edition (not sure if that really makes a difference or not).

[kornalius]

I know what it is.

You thousand separator character is not a ','.

Please give us the exact number it is displaying.

I know how to fix it, I just need an example first.

[zehlein]

again with the bounce demo I waited till the balls moved no more (if that playes a role) and it throws that message: '0.35' is not a valid floating point value.

[matteo.m]

i Tried the bounce too and i get the message: '5.58 is not a valid floating point value'

[zehlein]

kornalius has fixed the error according to the update list for 1.07

[zehlein]

Hi, in version 1.07 the profiler bug is still present. Kornalius, with the code I sent you today it gives me a '5,359,306' is not a valid integer value message.

[kornalius]

I think I got it, it is your decimal separator that is the problem. It is probably set to ',' and not '.'.

[zehlein]

right, the dec seperator in german windows versions is a ","

[kornalius]

It is now fixed.

[matteo.m]

I confirm too that the same bug is still there in my xp version

[kornalius]

Pleaee change your decimal separator in Windows to the '.' character in the meantime.

I will fix the problem later.

[matteo.m]

I tried but isnt working, i'm referring also to the other thread (bounce.ppl). I have as 2nd input language "english united states" and i can select it from the destop language bar and this set correctly the , for number and . as decimal separator. Even i select ENglish , the profiler error message is still there and the bounce demo is not working. Thanks, Matteo

Hi matteo,
in fact it works for me again, it means gravity is there in GameAPI and Profiler is running nicely. Please be sure not to change your input language (that won't help) but the decimal seperator windows uses via: windows start button -> system options/control -> region and language options -> customize button right of your used language. There you can set the decimal seperator to "."

(could please someone with an english windows version help out with the correct menu and button names?)

[dennishea]

I hope this helps.[br]

I hit (start) bottom left

then (control panel) button

then (regional and language options) which brings up next window.

In above window choose the (customize) button and you will get window under here.

../../e107_files/public/1162717696_112_FT1151_help2_.png[br]

again I hope this helps.

dennishea

p.s. I hope this is right.

[zehlein]

yes, that is the place to change the decimimal seperator (a.k.a. symbol) I meant.

[kornalius]

That's it guys. That is where to change it.

I will make sure PPL is not doing any conversions and that it uses '.' throughout all the coding. I know how to fix it.

[zehlein]

good to hear, kornalius and thanks as always for your quick error-fixing!

[matteo.m]

Hey guys thanks a lots i did it and is working!!! thanks again
