For each file that is to be patched, the AEI looks for the highest-numbered package which has such a .oni file in the same level number; in other words, patches go on top of all .oni mods, thus they have higher precedence than any package does by number -- regardless of the number of the package containing said patch. If there is no copy of that .oni file in any selected mod, the AEI extracts the .oni from the vanilla .dat of the appropriate level (stored in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/). | For each file that is to be patched, the AEI looks for the highest-numbered package which has such a .oni file in the same level number; in other words, patches go on top of all .oni mods, thus they have higher precedence than any package does by number -- regardless of the number of the package containing said patch.

This "master patch" is made for performance reasons and should not affect the modder who creates .oni-patches. Read the documentation for [[XmlTools]] to understand how the patch files are actually processed. The .oni files having been patched, their containing folder is then combined, along with the folders of unpatched .onis from the other selected mods, into .dats, as described in "Installation". | ||
