Merchant ID, GeorgeS Tools, Custom Merchants

[Disorder]

Having some confusion here.

I've tried making an NPC, and using GeorgeS tool to "make npc a merchant" - That appears not to work. So I used the Custom NPC Maker tool and created one that is a "shopkeeper". It gave merchant_ID of 1000. The next one I created gave merchant_id of 1000 as well. I changed it to 1001 and went to "Merchant Editor" to see if the merchant_id was already being used. List was empty. So I added items to it.

Problem I am having is that items are not showing up. In fact, the only item showing up isn't even on the list.

If I want to just make a new NPC merchant with a custom merchant list, what's the best way of going about it?

I'm not complaining about GeorgeS tools, as they are very helpful (and free!). However, they seem to be causing me more trouble when trying to edit particulars. I am finding it much easier to just use Navicat and edit the database manually.

What suggestions do you guys have for this process? I've been looking on forums for any sort of guide for about two hours today. If I'm just missing it, a link would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
