Now u know where the fun is hehe. The best thing here is indeed the challenge and yea a lot more rewarding when you succeed but can be also damn annoying

[sarkhumar]

Try this one (SH5 Patcher by TheDarkWraith):

Please could you recommend me a program to edit using a windows 7 64 bits ? I dont trust in those programs I can see in the net so any recommendation would be welcome....

thanks in advance

If you want to keep it simple, just download the SH5 patcher and unzip it. Open the map, and you will see 4 files. Click on SH5Patcher, click on file, click on open, and you will see the file TDW_SH5_Patches. Open this file, and you will see the screen from my first post.This is the Patcher. Here you can adjust the Broken Hydrophone Fix, the Real Navigation menu.txt entries and the Map Colors you want to change. (Take a look at the treads about these subjects)!
"Items in red text are double clickable. Thus if double clicked you active it. For the IsColor it will open a color dialog box allowing you to select the new color (and view the current color). The Enabled will either apply/remove the current Change x patch to the sh5.exe file."
When you use this Patcher, you don't need a hex editor to change these values.

ok, thanks so much unionemerald.

I see in patch only need to be changed the colours as patch 1 and 2 are already set up by TDW.

But when I opened I can only do it with Notepad so I do not see your screen example...I can change in text format or I do need some special program ? sorry for many questions but even I do not find threats with examples to apply some colours....

Sorry , but I forgot to mention one thing.

Take a look at this post:

[sarkhumar]

ok, plase would be appreciated if confirm if I have done its correct :

- open de TDW sh5 patches with Notepad and change the patch as per my original path in sh5 :
Path=c:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\ and save and close
- open de SH5 patcher and apply File / Open / TDW SH5 patches ...then appear the screen you show above post.
questions :
1- if close this file...no message is displayed about 'save' file or similar...becasue when I re-open I need to do it again.
2 - I need to replace my orginal exe for this one ?
3 - I do need only enable this mod ? because as only seems changed the TDW sh5 patches with new path not sure if I'm doing its correct....

too many doubts from my side...may be i'm a bit stupid...sorry...if you can help me would be great...

[sarkhumar]

more questions....do I need to change manually in TDW sh5 patcher any data related patch 1 and 2 ?

[PATCH 1]

this patch appears with changes applied--bytes from '75' to '74' according below post from TDW...so seems no need to do anyhting manually with this....

about this patch...the values appears already changed according same post from TDW but not sure If I need to change manually the 'description' as per below ones :

826=Unknown
827=Warship
828=Merchant
829=Submarine

I have indicated with question marks if descriptions are according the expected ones....
......................

for patch colours not sure how can be changed as I do not see 'save' option when i do changes in SH% patcher....

[sarkhumar]

and to enable correctly using GME....i need to enable full folder named 'TDW SH5 Patcher' ? because I see in some soap mods from others captains only SH5 patch ...is the same ?

I'm totally crazy now...time to get a coffee...

[sarkhumar]

well..first test..failing....

I have applied following changes :

- open de TDW sh5 patches with Notepad and change the patch as per my original path in sh5 :
Path=c:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\ and save and close

- open de SH5 patcher and apply File / Open / TDW SH5 patches ...then appear specific screen.
changes :
patch 1 : no changes...I have not activated nothing...
patch 2 : changes only in descriptcion in notepad...
[CHANGE 1]
ChangeDescription=unknown.txt
[CHANGE 2]
ChangeDescription=warship.txt
[CHANGE 3]
ChangeDescription=merchant.txt
patch 3 : no changes by now...

I have installed full folder contaning 4 files...and when I continue a patrol...I do not have real navigation... or even when I start a new one..

any help ?

I think you're not the only one who is getting a little bit confused!
With the patcher, you can fix the hydrophone, change the entries for real navigation in the menu.txt, and if wanted change the map colors. (Read the link to the post of TheDarkWraith in my last post,) The red colored items need to be doubleclicked to change them (enable them), and afterwards, just keep the patcher somewhere on your hard drive. No need to save it or to put it in your Silent Hunter directory or to put it in your Mods file. Just change the values in red and close the Patcher. Don't change any other things! TheDarkWraith made it easy to everyone by making this Patcher.
Maybe things become al itlle bit clearer, when you completely read this thread:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...?t=181433&page

[sarkhumar]

ok , thanks again.

In reference text description...these are the correct ones ?

patch 2 : changes only in descriptcion in notepad...?
[CHANGE 1]
ChangeDescription=unknown.txt
[CHANGE 2]
ChangeDescription=warship.txt
[CHANGE 3]
ChangeDescription=merchant.txt

As I see 'submarine' description in original post I do not have very clear....

In any case, please be sure I'm reading again and again that post....but sometimes is referred hidrofone fix 'sh5.exe patch (hydro) v0.0.1' sometimes this last one fix .....

but well, my understanding then is :
- unzip the file
- change the path in TDW sh5 patches with Notepad according my original path for SH5
- no need to substitute any exe file.
- no need to leave this patcher in my original path...
- modifications only indicating 'text descriptions' and 'changing colours' .
- and that's all...

will try this afternoon....

thanks so much for your help

I think you're almost there.
I believe that when you are using TheDarkWraith's NewUIs 6.5.1, the two first items are already fixed, but I'm not shure about it, because I don't use it. The only thing then where you can use the Patcher for, is when you want to change the line colors in the maps.
Maybe some of the skippers here who are using this mod can help you a little bit more than I can.
