Tutorial Merging Patches.plist | Adding External patches!

[Mister SirCode 6.9k]

Say you have a patch, And you wanna share it to your friend without adding it to the cloud, BUT HE HAS REAAALLLY important patches and doesnt wanna replace his patches.plist with YOURS.

 

heres a "semi" simple Fix.

Each patch is a Dictionary. A Simple little "holder" if you will. All the patches in your list are structured like this:

The tutorial continues in the code itself below.

 

I WILL BE MAKING A TOOL THAT DOES THIS FOR YOU SOON!!

(Uh, Hopefully, I gotta figure out how to edit Xml in Javascript)

 

 

<?xml version encoding>
<doctype telling the code that its a plist file>
<plist version>

<dict> <!-- (this is the first dictionary, It holds ALL of your patches) -->
 <key> <!-- patches --> </key> <!-- (Name Of the List) -->
 <array> <!-- (Start of the list) -->

   <dict> <!-- (This is a patch) -->
    
    <!-- Inside each patch is a ton of blah blah stuff that people normally don't want to read. (Keys, strings, more arrays and dictionaries) -->

    <!-- Look for the <string> that has the <key>name</key> right above it (THIS IS YOUR PATCH NAME) -->
    <!-- Look for the patch you want, and Copy the ENTIRE <dict> -->

    <!-- Edit your friend's plist file in a text editor (on filza file manager, hold down on file and scroll right on the dialog, find text edit) -->
    <!-- paste the dictionary at the very top of the file, RIGHT AFTER THE VERY FIRST <array> that represents (start of list) -->

   </dict> <!-- (This is the End of a patch) -->
   <dict> <!-- (This is a patch) -->
   </dict> <!-- (This is the End of a patch) -->
   <dict> <!-- (ETC) -->
   </dict> <!-- (ETC) -->

 </array> (End of the list)
</dict> (End of Code)
