These are the instructions you need for the 'Change Grid Mod" - taken from the documentation in the patch:

4. In order to introduce the new button, it is necessary to make the following changes:
a) Create a new entry [G3F I210] in your menu_1024_768.ini file, in the radio-man group, as shown below. IMPORTANT-1: if your ‘RO Report’ is not numbered [G3F I209], then the new grid button must be given the next consecutive number to your ‘RO Report’ value. GWX appears to have the same values as those shown below for NYGM.
b) Change the POS value in the existing entry [G3F I215] where shown in RED below.
IMPORTANT-2: It is then necessary to renumber ALL the successive entries for group G3F. You can do this manually, or use a renumbering tool, such as that of H.sie.

[G3F I209]
Name=RO Report
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F290000
ParentID=0x3F0B0000
;;Pos=0,-45,436,560
Pos=0,-45,370,560
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

;; NYGM New grid square button
[G3F I210]
Name=Request_New_grid
Type=1032;Button
ItemID=0x3F290006
ParentID=0x3F290000
;;Pos=251,-494,60,60
Pos=53,-494,60,60
Materials=4
Display=0;No stretch
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/orders2.tga
Crop 0=0.4763,0.5,1,1
Mat 1=data/menu/gui/layout/orders2.tga
Crop 1=0.4763,0.5,1,1
Mat 2=data/menu/gui/layout/orders2.tga
Crop 2=0.4763,0.5,1,1
Mat 3=data/menu/gui/layout/orders2.tga
Crop 3=0.4763,0.5,1,1
MatFlags=0x1
TexFmt=0x9
Font=1
TextFlags=0x0
StatesColors=0xB0B0B0FF, 0xFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF
ToolTipText=2919

......

[G3F I215] ;; [G3F I214] before renumbering.
Name=Bkgr
Type=1031;Stat bmp array
ItemID=0x3F290001
ParentID=0x3F290000
;;Pos=113,-488,204,72 ;;original
Pos=47,-488,270,72 ;; <----- NEW
Materials=1
Display=0;No stretch
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/bkgr.tga
MatFlags=0x1
TexFmt=0x9
Drag=false
BmpState=1
NeedFocus=true
SelOne=false
IdGroup=0
StatesColors=0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF

c) Add these new lines to en/de_menu.txt:
NOTE: GWX has already a ‘2919=Radio Message’. Just delete it.

; Request for New Grid, NYGM 3.6A
2919=Request new Orders
2920=Request Denied. You must patrol original grid first!
2921=Request Denied. You have already requested new grid!
2922=Request Denied. Sorry, you have to stay in current grid.
2923=New patrol grid XXXX assigned. Good luck!
2924=Request Denied. Insufficient fuel for new patrol grid.
2925=Request to change grid acknowledged. Wait...

d) Add the following command in the correct position in file commands_en/de.cfg:
;;NYGM 3.6A
[Cmd455]
Name=Request_New_grid
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F290006
Key0=0x4d,s,”SHIFT M”

IMPORTANT-3: Check to ensure that there is no other command with value [Cmd455]. If there is, use another UNIQUE command value. (GWX users can use Cmd455.)

************************

Those who are not seeing the Change Grid radio messages have doubtless not entered the new entries correctly to the their en/de_menu.txt file;
OR they have made the changes correctly, but a subsequent mod is over-writing the en/de_menu.txt file.
Alternatively, of course, other necessary files (commands_en/de.cfg and/or menu_1024_768.ini) are being overwritten by mods that you are installing after the Stiebler patch.

Get the basics right before you add further mods to the original, patched SH3.exe file.
