Custom map thing not showing in map?

I Cant get a single one of these monsters to show up, they show up easily with summon command though.... But they are on map (wad) [check], they have valid DOOMEDNUM [check], Maped shows them [check], game doesn't? [fail].

It seems to work fine for me.
Could you upload the map that has the problem?

Are you by any chance also starting the map in "no monsters" mode?

I uploaded 3 seperate maps. I started with zdoom client. Default settings. Seems that only UDFM setting work properly, but my maps are made with classic doom format... How can I convert my maps to UDFM? I tried using Doombuilder, but it takes away all selections from things and forgets textures

After adding the monster code from here to the wads and placing a new thing, the monster spawned normally for me.
For some reason, even after adding the code, the monster still wouldn't spawn unless I deleted the thing and placed it again.
There seems to be an issue with the placed thing that prevents the monster from spawning normally.
Which Doom Builder are you using? I tested it in SLADE's map builder.

As for converting the maps to UDMF, from what I know UDB has ways to do it.
