Creating Scenario with mod enabled

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to have a mod enabled and then make custom scenarios for that mod.
Basically I downloaded Battlefield Europe 1.5 and I really like all the units that comes with it, so I'm wondering if it is possible to make scenarios with the mod active?
I have been trying for the last 24 hours but I can't get it working...
Here is a quote from my other thread to make you understand better, although in the quote I'm trying to edit an existing scenario but also with a new scenario from scratch I don't know where to put the files to make it appear in the scenario list...
Does someone know where to put scenario files if I have a mod installed with GME? I downloaded Battlefield Europe v1.5 and I found the huge Europe map and I tried to make some minor unit changes and stuff(for personal use only), but I can't figure out where to put the scenario files...
I tried both in User\My Games\Panzer corps\Scenario and in the Panzer Corps\MODS\Battlefield Europe\Data folder, but none seems to work :/
EDIT: I also tried to make a new folder in My games like this
My Games\Panzer Corps\mods\Battlefield Europe v1.5\Data and then I put the Scenario in there but that also didn't work... Would really appreciate some help:)

- Custom scenarios go to c:/.../documents/my games/panzer corps/scenario/
A scenario only has a *pzloc and a *.pzscn file
Access a custom scenario in the main program via new game, scenario, custom (that's at the bottom of the standalone scenario list) and then you should find your scenario in the custom list
- Custom campaigns go to c:/.../documents/my games/panzer corps/mods/
A custom campaign has at least a /modname/data folder which includes a campaign.pzdat file and the necessary scenario files
The part which needs to be loaded into GME should contain the necessary folders with the custom sounds, graphics, efx and e-file.

That was not really the answer I was looking for.. I know how to get custom scenarios to work with the original game. The problem is I now want to make a custom scenario for the mod Battlefield Europe 1.5. When I look in the scenario list with the mod enabled I can just see 4 scenarios (Barbarossa, France, Mediterranean and Poland) There is not even the "custom" option in the scenario list.

If you want to create a custom scenario, load the original scenario in the scenario editor (and the mod loaded into GME); make your changes and save. Start the game and pick the scenario you just changed. I hope i now understood what you were asking for

Hmm, I'm sure I don't explain in the best way aswell

This is what it looks like, you see there is no "custom..." option :/

And even if I just edit one of these scenarios and save it, when I start the game and load the scenario it's exactly the same as before...
1.I load the mod in GME and enable it.
2. I edit scenario "Barbarossa" in the editor, I add 5 Tiger tanks. everything good so far
3. I start the game and choose barbarossa scenario
4. My changes are not there, no Tigers...
Test 2:
1.I load and enable mod in GME
2. I start editor and make
completely new scenario
3. I put the scenario file in
User/documents/My Games/Panzer corps/Scenario
4. Still nothing in Scenario list no Custom option.
I also tried putting scenario files in:
C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Panzer Corps/MODS/Battlefield Europe/Data
and I also tried to put them in this folder that I created:
User/Documents/My Games/Panzer Corps/mods/Battlefield Europe v1.5/Data

I took a look and the problem here is that the mod has disabled the 'Custom...' option in the scenario selection box. I'm assuming this is by design.
In the game folders, .../Panzer Corps/UI/gamesetup.htm has been changed, the original had the line underneath added under the names for the separate scenarios, but McGuba removed it:
Line nr. 659 in gamesetup.htm:
Code: Select all
<option.wide value="Custom">IDS_SCEN_CUSTOM</option>
This is the line in the htm file that enables the 'Custom...' selection. I checked, it can be added to the Modded gamesetup.htm file to re-enable the option.
