Major SDK bug discovered
If you are running a foriegn language version of windows (e.g. French) or for any other reason have the windows decimal separator set to something other than a fullstop (e.g. a comma) and then try to modify and recompile certain parts of the XML (e.g. certain items in weapon.xml), you may see an error from the compiler that says "System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format" or something similar.
To fix this, you can open control panel. Then select "regional and language options". Then press "Customize". Then change the decimal symbol to a fullstop. Be aware however that this may affect other software on your system that created data using a comma as the decimal separator.
The other option is to wait for a fix from EA (if one ever shows up)
Feel free to post this on other forums (especially foriegn language forums) QUICK_EDIT
Ouch, that is very annoying! This will prevent all non-Administrator users with foreign Windows' from using it, because they cannot change locale settings... QUICK_EDIT
