NPC special_abilities not working at all

[zerjz3]

Perhaps this is just a goof on my part, but it seems that the npc special_abilities are not working.

I've dropped a 14 into the field to make an NPC uncharmable, and lo and behold it is still able to be charmed. I have tried doing this manually in HeidiSQL, using the PEQ Editor and clicking "Uncharmable", and also by using GeorgeS NPC_Loot_Edit tool and putting a 14 into the field. Nothing - still charmable.

What am I doing wrong here? I used the latest build following the instructions in the Windows Server Setup Guide.

Also of possible importance to solving this -- when I click Uncharmable in the PEQ Editor, save the NPC, and then go back into the NPC in the PEQ Editor, the Uncharmable button is unselected again.

Your PEQ editor may be out of date. This is the current schema and details on how it works is here:

I believe it is delimited with field values so you may need to use 14,1 or something along that lines to enable the special attack.

Syntax is: <ID>,<Level>,[Param0],[Param0] etc, where params are optional.

Oh damn, you're making the Ape boss uncharmable.

Indeed I am, Maze. Thanks to Secrets for popping onto the server to help with this. I wasn't including the parameter value after the special_ability number. Fixed.
