You need to use spawners. There are a couple different kinds. The ones that come with the server distro files are ok, but most prefer the xmlspawner system. If I were you, I would download and install that system before trying to learn how to use the distro spawners. Here is the link:

[RunUO 2.0 RC1] XmlSpawner2

If you want to add a spawner, type [add spawner
If you want to add an xmlspawner, install the system and type [add xmlspawner

You should also look up Nerun's distro as it helps you to spawn an entire world with the use of just a single command.

Hopefully that helps.

hmm... extracted the xml into the scripts\custom folder

went to compile and...

Scripts: Compiling C# scripts...failed (1 errors, 0 warnings)
Errors:
+ Custom/XmlSpawner2.cs:
CS0029: Line 9611: Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.ArrayL
ist' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<Server.Tile>'

This was in big letters on the thread that you downloaded the xmlspawner from.

Latest News:
If you get an error like this on startup
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.ArrayList' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<Server.Tile>'
it means that you are running RunUO 2.0 RC1 instead of the most recent SVN and you just need to uncomment this line at the beginning of xmlspawner2.cs

//#define RUNUO2RC1

so that it looks like

#define RUNUO2RC1
