XMLInject @ AOE3NativeED

This tool automatically injects the NativeED data files to the original (or 3rd party mod) XML files.

What files are getting injected?

Data
│  protoy.xml
│  techtreey.xml
│
├─abilities
│      abilities.xml
│      powers.xml
│
└─strings
    ├─English
    │      stringtabley.xml
    │
    └─SimplifiedChinese
            stringtabley.xml

Prerequisite

.Net > 5.0

How to use this tool

Step 1: Place Native ED Source files under workbench/src folder and place the extracted and converted original XML files under workbench/in folder. Please keep the folder structure.

(Tip: You can use AOE3 Resource Manager to extract and convert original XML files from Game/Data/data.bar of game folder)

Step 2: Run the following command:

dotnet XMLInject.dll

Step 3: Check out the workbench/out folder. The processed files should all be there.

Development

I use .Net 5 as a dev environment, but I guess it should get backward-compatibilities as early as .Net Framework 2.0 . If you need to run on legacy systems, you can try reset the target and rebuild the binaries yourself.
