Resolved?

Not 100% sure what got it. EnableNPC in game start of story or creating a character group and adding the character to it.

Without defining a character event like warpto or walkto I was able to find them using the command console and warping to player.

I have been able to import and edit custom stories, etc.
For some reason I cannot enable/spawn an NPC when creating a new story.
Probably missing something simple (I have watched the tutorials...)

Story name matches folder, story and character files are the right type and the exported stories run ...
