I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but NPC's are now placed the same way as Monsters, pretty much...

So in your map-spawn.xml file (\data\world\..). Example of Monster and NPC spawn.

<spawn centerx="909" centery="999" centerz="7" radius="5">
    <monster name="Giant Spider" x="-5" y="5" z="7" spawntime="240"/>
</spawn>
<spawn centerx="1000" centery="999" centerz="7" radius="3">
    <npc name="NPC Dude" x="-3" y="1" z="7" spawntime="240"/>
</spawn>

Hope this helps you somewhat.

Cheers.

Use the map editor maybe? Spawning system is exactly the same as an XML server. The only difference is that they save their data in a a database instead of thousands of .xml files.

I am trying to add an NPC with the Remere map editor but he just wont appear on the server. First i just added an NPC to spawn.xml without modifying the map like this:

<spawn centerx="1000" centery="999" centerz="7" radius="3">
<npc name="NPC Dude" x="-3" y="1" z="7" spawntime="240"/>
</spawn>

..and he spawned alright. Then i modified a map with some monster spawns (they work) and placed an NPC Spawn on the map + entry to spawn.xml (the correct way i think?) ....but he doesnot spawn. So any advice for a noob would be appreciated.

Edit: okey NPCs spawn only once, i mean on the 1. run its okey, but then they wont spawn. I added a NPC spawn place to the map and to spawns-xml and it worked, but when i start server 2. time, NPCs are missing
