Warning: I2localization can interfere with parsing was created by kylerwk

Just wanted to bring up the fact that a change that was made to I2 Localization has been causing us some issues that we wouldn't have ever anticipated.

Our game saves and loads various types of files and uses functions like

Parsing.ParseFloat(attr.Value);

This was all working well for us, except we found out that I2 localization was changing

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture

when the player changed the games language.

This caused the Parsing function to change how it handles commas and periods in decimal numbers, causing all sorts of different types of bugs.

Our solution is is to use

Parsing.ParseFloat_InvariantCulture (attr.Value);

so that the CurrentCulture doesn't effect anything else.

Just wanted to give everyone and the devs of I2 a heads up that this plugins updates can have far reaching on code it isn't really connected to.
