Tearz

then you using wrong editor.
windows editors mostly hide many things in text.
try may be notepad++ or other editor where BOM chars visible and end of lines visible too.
also you can try resave your config with unix end lines.

also herc and rathena are different scripts in using npc scripts, just follow other scripts in npc folder to make an example, actually herc scripts are easy to read than rathena (for me)

you should said before what you using rathena, because here hercules forum, and by default mean server is hercules.
