Ok, here's I do it. (DL the recent version as of 6/2/0
version .04
with my npc&loot editor - with Field Utilities/
npc creation tool, create an npc
who is race:you choose one, class=shopkeeper, and any of the other fields you want. Now remember his/her name and then close window.
Clear zone text box, and type in npc name, hit search. Look at the row data and get familiar what was created. This npc obviously exists, but is not in a spawngroup, and needs to be spawned. Run eq and go ingame.
This npc needs to be spawned now.
In game and in your destination zone spot, type
#dbspawn 335053 <--- npc id from my tool
#npcspawn add <----must target the npc first - creates spawngroup!
zone out and back in. If npc does not show, hit #zone repop
With my merchant editor, assign items.
That's all
