found the problem... you cant use ' in the npc names.
my npc name was Lady_Poop's_Guard and it wouldnt add. changed to Lady_Poops_Guard and it added fine. after i found this out i noticed that all the other npcs that had the same error did have ' in there name.i did raise the var size on name in spawngroup too, but i think the main problem was the '. you can still use ' in the name, as long as you put it in there after you add it to spawn tables
