Issue with ADM generation on game start

[Trux]

Hello, so I'm trying to make existing merchant have a specific item in his inventory. From one of the tutorials I'm trying to (for starters) get General Item Merchant to have a Luck Potion in his inventory for sale, I have a DAT file in my mod directory, but when game starts the generated ADM file has only few symbols, generally it's blank.
Any way to fix this or is this a known issue?

ADM files are binary files, so typically they contain actual zeroes (not the symbol "0") in the file. Text editors interpret a binary zero as "end of file" so it'd appear blank if you tried opening it up in notepad (and most likely would corrupt it). The game knows how to read the ADM files it generates.

Chances are if your merchant isn't working, something else is wrong.
