trying to make first merchant

[spider661]

ok guys im not seeing what im doing wrong im tying to make a new merchant for my starting area. this is my first time and i have searched for hours with no luck.

i went to the merchantlist table and added a new merchant id 27 slot 1 item 13002

then i used npc editor by georges to make a new npc in the area and gave it the merchant_id 27

then i used his merchant_editor to load the merchant and look up the items so i could set in new items.

but it says there are no merchants in the zone.

am i doing something wrong or missing a step? the npc is spawning in the zone. i have not loaded up to see if it has a buy list yet but im guessing if the program cant see it as a merchant then the game will not also..

anyways what im looking for i guess is mabie a basic walkthough of making a merchant.
