how do i get normal placed weapons in forge to appear in custom games, this is the only kink i need to fix on my map but i cant figure it out
You can’t. You gotta use Ordinance drops. Yet another problem with Forge in this game.
I use only on-map weapon spawns now and they show up in every gametype, and it works, as long as the “weapons on map” option is set to enabled.

i will give that a go
it didnt work
I had the same problem when trying to make frogger from halo 3. I used an ordinance drop but the custom settings hill won’t work.
that’s weird,cause I place normal weapons on MY maps and they appear just fine.
have you enabled “weapons on map” options on the gamesettings?

where is that option? i have looked for it and cant find it
I have run into the same issue you’re describing OP. I believe the problem lies within the gametype. Some of them will forcefully remove any weapons which you place on the map in Forge. Have you created it from scratch using one of the on-disc gametypes, or are you using one downloaded from temporary files?
If you try creating a gametype variant using one off the disc, then it should work. I tried using the official Team Snipers gametype from matchmaking on a map variant I was building, which has weapons placed within it, and when I tried a test game in customs, none of the weapons would spawn.
If you wish to, go ahead and download one of the gametypes in my Fileshare… I’d suggest using my Hybrid Slayer variant to build your own, as it has instant respawn disabled. Also, if you want to relive the old school gameplay from the original trilogy, you can download one of the Classic gametypes, which has sprint disabled as well.
Works fine for me, I didn’t even change anything in the options.

i used basic editing to place the weapons and the on disc gametypes to make objectives appear
Place weapons will appear in every gametype except flood.
would someone be able to check the map out and see if my weapons have the right settings
Are you using the “Slayer Pro” gametype? Slayer Pro disables weapons on map by default. Another issue may be putting your weapons on drop spawns. Weapons disappear after 13 seconds of being moved from their original spawn point.
i have tried with the FFA gametype that is already on the game, i have also tried with gametypes used online in forge playlists.
my weapons are also placed on the floor, apart from the initial ordnance drops

Is it on yer fileshare? I’ll look into it in forge mode first, then test as a custom
What is the gametype?

OK Thnx
Weather is pretty bad in the Midwest. Won’t get to this til Wednesday night
Woops, wrong thread LOL
Just a wild guess, but maybe you cant have weapons on map and ordnance drops at the same time. Delete any and all ordnance drops and tell me if your weapons then appear.
I say this because every map ive seen with preset weapon spawns dont have ordnance.
