Windows [9.10] OTServ (0.6.3) r.6105 No NPCS No Items

[earthtopian]

This is a clean install of the latest server, no addons and straight out of the box. Only changes are adding accounts. The world works with creatures, but there are no NPCs and no items. Is this typical and left up to the admin to add these in. Or is this distro supposed to have these initiated. The code seems to be there for the npcs and items but none are found in the world. Maybe something isnot executing to start the npcs up? Please let me know if there are any additional steps that are needed to incorporate the npcs and items or if this is an error, misconfiguration, or something else I have missed. Many thanks and regards.

Private LAN server for the family
Win XP SP3
Xampp
MySQL
Everything default except minor config changes to allow running of the server

PS. Also any help in setting up premium accounts would be appreciated. ( Does the premend in accounts table represent premium, it was set to 1 with no avail) Giving full premium to players would be great if assistance could be provided for this as well. Config changes were made to allow bed use etc but players still show up as free accounts

PSS Thanks to all the OT for providing this great product

!UPDATE! Apologies, the items work fine, I was under the impression there should be some laying around lol, but killing creatures does reveal items, however of course there are no shops working which is controlled by NPCs.

can someone just clarify if the NPCs should be running on this server out of the box. This will at least give me a direction to go in. thanks

Well I don't think there are any NPC's for 9.10 because a map editor hasn't come out for it yet that way no one's been able to add any.

Thank for the reply, it explains things yet there are creatures which I would think would be based off the same init code yet Im still learning how this is put together and how the they work together.

Any assistance on setting up premium accounts? again thanks

Ok downloaded and installed 8.60 server and still no npcs, could someone please explain if there is something that needs to be done to start the npcs. Or is this left up to the dev completely despite that there are npc files already created. thanks again

What Distro are you using for 8.6?

OTServ 8.60 r.6052, and trying the map editor remeres latest, shows no options for npcs or linking them to scripts , yet still learning it so I may have missed something or the procedure for it, although placing creatures is easy of course. Tried to get ot map editor a few times but files all fail to unzip so I have to look into that as well. So now Im trying to add npcs to the spawn file manually but have to figure out how its coded. Didnt have much time to spend learning the code, but the family wants this up so it looks like Ill be coding on this instead this week lol. Anyway thanks to all, and thanks for your replies drifter.
