Adding new merchants and creatures/npcs

After working on some items, I've started to consider releasing my item pack and then some, but I never delved into adding NPCs. Years ago when I modded before, I was thinking about adding a merchant to Waukeen's Promenade, but I never did. Does the whole area file have to be edited? I'd like to do what I can to keep my mod from being incompatible with others.

    Do NOT mod the area file (compatibility). Just add your creature with an addition to the area script (ar0700.bcs)
    Example 
    IF
	Global("MyShop","ar0700",0)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("MyShop","ar0700",1)
		CreateCreature("Myshopy",[1804.3224],12) 
                Continue()
END
