The Anniversary Edition makes use of two core tools when installing mods. "Core" means that they are installed automatically, not optionally.

  • OniSplit - Used for breaking the game's level data files into individual resources and then combining the resources from the user's selected mods into new data files.
  • xmlTools - Used for applying XML patches from patch mods to resources before OniSplit combines them into data files.

They are both command-line tools that run in .NET (Mono on Macs). Besides being run by the AEI, these tools may also be used directly by a modder or accessed through a GUI modding tool.
