Problems • Stupid Lua Error!

ModError: Failed to load and run script from C:\Users\ThePropheticWarrior\AppData\Roaming\Minetest\mods\mobs_api\init.lua: ...cWarrior\AppData\Roaming\Minetest\mods\mobs_api\init.lua:181: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 62) near '_mobs_api_health_max' Check debug.txt for details.

Here is what is actually in the file:

It is definately there, at the end of above text - at line 282 (using Notepad++)! What, is it too far away or something?

I think either Lua needs to be updated, or Luanti needs help!
