Title: Getting Custom Weapons to Spawn in Maps?
Post by: fetz on January 25, 2014, 07:00:05 AM

I recently installed Custom Weapons. Is there any way to get them to spawn in maps that don't have that weapon in the map? Like randomly spawn? Only a couple of my maps randomly spawn weapons, and on those it works.

Thanks, Fetz

I assume you're talking about TTT, right?
Do you have a link to the addon?

How have you installed these to your server (hoping it is a server- SP I have no idea)?
EDIT: Praying you did what the collection said to do.

I extracted the .gma

Moved the lua/ttt_weapon_xxxx to right directory.

The weapons show up on most maps, but no all.

Download Bad King Urgrain's ttt weapon placer.

Edit the ttt.fgd to include whatever weapons you want to add.
Go into Gmod, load up the map, select the ttt weapon placer from your tools, and start placing weapons.

After that, go into the tool's menu and export it out.

Put what it exports into the server's map folder.

Same place where sandbox tools are.

And I don't exactly remember where the ttt file goes.

Weapon placement is map specific. When people make maps for ttt, or use the arm tool to place weapons; they decide which weapons go where, or where to place random weapons. If a map has few random weapon spots, your new weapons won't spawn often unless you rearm the map. You can get information on arming/re-arming maps HERE (http://ttt.badking.net/rearm-guide). What I did for my ttt server, was test which ones I thought played the best, balanced them around the other weapons, and only added the best ones. I only ended up adding 3 CSS weapons, so the spawn rate is pretty good in comparison to the default weapons.
