empty zones, no privileges

[Joof]

I'm sorry if i'm asking a question that's already been answered, but I couldn't find one after searching for a long time.

First of all, I'm using my own server with Minilogin.

To get a zone to actually have npc's in it, what do I need to do? Do i have to get some sort of database? I couldn't find where it was located, can anyone please help me with this?

Also, when i try to set the privileges as instructed to in the readme file, I get an error from the world.exe program

Thanks for any help, and once again, sorry if the questions are somewhere else to be found but i didn't find them
