How to spawn an NPC from NPC Framework mod

Hi
I installed the NPC Framework WIP mod without error, and I tried to run the command "/giveme npcf:builder_npc_spawner", but I got an error - "Cannot give an unknown item".
What have I missed? I'm after an info NPC to provide some help to players.

try /giveme npcf:info_npc instead (since you're after an info npc, not a builder npc)

Thanks.
That "worked", but I don't see anything in my inventory.
I looked in the files for any info about other mods required - do I need skins or anything similar.
I tried to right click and place the "node", but there wasn't anything there.
Has anyone written a manual for the mod?

My bad - /giveme is for nodes and such; use /spawnentity instead for mobs

Thanks
that certainly did appear to spawn. But it shows as "unknown object". I go back to my previous question - have I missed some pre-requisite mod?

If you have npcf enabled in the world, the /spawnentity npcf:info_npc command should work - is that what you used?

Yes....but instead of a player, I see a frame/box showing "unknown object". I can't get a screenshot - I'm at work.
What do you mean have "npfc enabled" in the world?

Ok, at the main Minetest menu, you create a world, then you click 'Configure' and enable the mods you want to use - if you don't enable the mod called "npcf", you can't spawn entities defined in it.

I've installed this on a server. The mod is enabled in the world.mt file

Ah, found the problem - copied from the NPC Framework thread in WIP Mods:

hey stu... you haven't linked in any 3d meshes for the builder or the info npc. I managed to change the lua files to use the decor npc mesh and it works fine but you might want to look into that. also the trading with the trader npc is broken

Sadly this mod is very much out of date and the topic should probably now be moved to old mods.
It was a project that lost it's direction and now most of its 'features' are available via the api
If you want npcs then I would personally recommend the now much improved mobf npcs (animals modpack)
