Don't forget that there is also an .ini file that needs to have the setting on for the Additional Merchants to be active. I believe the default is OFF so you will have to check your main .ini file to make sure it is on -- at least that was the way in the 8696 version EXE. Not certain if there were any changes to merchants since.

EDIT IN: The location is in JA2options.ini, around line 1019-1023. There are actually two lines that need to be set as TRUE, one pertains to Allow Extra Civilians, the other to Allow Extra Merchants:

<<

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
; Default: FALSE
; Additional civilians can be placed in maps via Lua scripts, see Scripts/strategicmap.lua: HandleSectorTacticalEntry()
; It is also possible to place new merchants (that don't require a NPC profile) this way, see the same file
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
ALLOW_EXTRA_CIVILIANS = TRUE

; Allow placing of new merchants
; Note: this requires ALLOW_EXTRA_CIVILIANS to be TRUE
ALLOW_EXTRA_MERCHANTS = TRUE

>>

The other possibility would be that the LUA file that needs to have the script for inserting the Additional Merchants was either changed or is not where it should be. However, that is a less likely scenario.

For example, whenever you upgrade, if you copy over the .ini file, it may overwrite your previous selection.

One of the horrors of updating, is that most options are reset, some options are moved from one file to another location, some are moved to being a new in-game selectable option, and additional files from the directories may be required, but those overwrite previous customizations unless you do everything by hand. If you do it by hand, though, the chance for errors and the need for hours of hand work, makes it a bit of a pain in the neck.
