Sorry Dark i followed the link and read:
For non-Steam versions of the SH5.exe:
How to patch your sh5.exe file for v0.0.1 (fixes broken hydrophone station):
- make a backup of your SH5.exe file
- open the SH5.exe file with a hex editor
- go to address 0x197A4A and change the byte from 75 to 74
- save the file
- run the game
How to patch your sh5.exe file for v0.0.2 (references new entries in menu.txt for merchant, warship, submarine, and unknown texts for hydrophone box [for use with my real navigation add-on mod in UIs mod]):
- make a backup of your sh5.exe file
- open the sh5.exe file with a hex editor
- go to address 0xA8C43 and change the byte from 34 to 3A
- go to address 0xA8C4F and change the byte from 35 to 3B
- go to address 0xA8C5B and change the byte from 36 to 3C
- save the file
NOTE: you must now edit your menu.txt file and add the following entries to it after entry 825 (comment out lines 820-825 by adding a leading ; if you don't want the tooltips for these to display on the nav map and TAI):
; sh5.exe patch by TDW - allows texts for units to display in hydrophone box when real navigation enabled
826=Unknown
827=Warship
828=Merchant
829=Submarine
NOTE2: the submarine text will not display for submarines (it will currently display warship IIRC).
- run the game
How to patch your sh5.exe file for v0.0.3 (can define colors for: marks, ruler, compass, protractor, distance scales on Nav map and TAI map, and lattitude and longitude degrees on the sides and top and bottom of navigation map):
NOTE: color is a hex color defined as AABBGGRR (when viewed in the hex editor) where AA = the alpha component, BB - the blue component, GG = the green component, and RR = the red component. Possible values for each is 0x00-0xFF.
NOTE2: stock values for the color (as seen in hex editor) are either 0xFF222222, 0x4B444444, 0xFE111188, or 0xEE000000
- make a backup of your sh5.exe file
- open the sh5.exe file with a hex editor
- go to address 0x2AE60 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the TAI map distance scale
- go to address 0x2B369 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the Navigation map distance scale
- go to address 0x30465 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the longitude degrees located at top of nav map

- go to address 0x3060F and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the lattitude degrees located at left side of nav map
- go to address 0x30671 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the lattitude degrees located at right side of nav map
- go to address 0x103F75 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted. This color defines the color of all the instances of this tool when adding new instances of the tool. Makes these instances of these tools 'stand-out' compared to other tools

- go to address 0x1063E5 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the protractor
- save the file

Complete gobbledeegook to me, i then downloaded the patcher from the link at the bottom of the page and got even more confused!
Not all of us are as computer literate as you fabulous mod chaps and whilst i understand and more than appreciate the amazing work you guys do to pull Ubi's arse out of the fire, i do feel a better and more straightforward explanation as how to activate some of these mods is needed.
