It's a shame that this mod doesn't work on custom maps, missions, campaigns, and so on.
Maybe someone knows a cheat mod for custom missions, campaigns and conquests?

Just add

{mission
(include "/map/cheat/cheatmenu.mi")

in the custom map files (at the top)
Can you explain in more detail?

Thanks, I figured out how to do it. :)

Here is process of adding Cheat Menu resources to a mission:
- locate your map directory and look for ".mi" file
- add required lines at the top of ".mi" file

Locating map directory:
- Go to SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\400750\(MOD FOLDER)\resource\map\multi OR single\mapfolder\.mi file

Adding Cheat Menu resource line:
- Now that you have located your ".mi" extension file you are ready to edit it. Open the file with your favorite text editor (Notepad++, Notepad2, or venerable Notepad).

- Here is an example of how the file usually looks:
{mission
{Human "single/ger/1941_summer/officer" 0x8002

- We want to edit it so it now looks like this, by adding a line after "{mission" and putting the "include cheatmenu" code
{mission
(include "/map/cheat/cheatmenu.mi")
{Human "single/ger/1941_summer/officer" 0x8002

- By adding line (include "/map/cheat/cheatmenu.mi") you enable Cheat Menu for your map. Save your changes and open your mission in game to see your new menu. -- this must be added to EACH map's .mi file

The line added changes depending on the map type:
(include "/map/cheat/cheatmenu.mi") >> Summer SinglePlayer/CO-OP
(include "/map/cheat/wcheatmenu.mi") >> Winter SinglePlayer/CO-OP
(include "/map/cheat/cheatmenup.mi") >> Multiplayer/AI Skirmish/Conquest

Make sure to have both mods active, with Cheat Menu loading last if possible. :FriendlyFrog:

This doesnt seem to work or im doing something wrong? I am using 1946 Last Grenadier missions pack by ♥♥♥♥♥ and i added the code at the top under
{mission
(include "/map/cheat/cheatmenu.mi")

just like this and i open the map and it doesnt show the cheat menu. I tried putting the code all the way at the bottom like how you needed to do in the old MOW:AS 2 days and that didnt work either? what am i doing wrong

Some other users said it has issues with Last Grenadier aswell,
i believe it may be due to that it adds new units, not using the default ones? i'm not so sure
but i don't think it works with that mod, apologies

Lol i figured it out , when you open the Map.Pak file and i assume everyone uses winrar to extract its contents, i forgot to delete the standard Map.Pak file so i had 2 of them. Make sure to add that to your description that you have to delete the unedited Map.pak file

seems to work fine i changed the code depending on if its a winter map or not and those seem to be working too. I dont understand how people are having issues with it spawning enemy units... the only way ive found is if you edit which user your spawning units for...
