Description
As an optional improvement, the converter should be able to detect differences between the standard AoC .dat files and modded versions. Then we can create a modpack for the base game from that diff. This would allow Genie Engine modders to use our converter, instead of writing their mods from scratch in nyan.

Research direction
Start by locating the converter entry point and understanding how standard and modded AoC .dat files are represented. Done means detecting their differences and generating a base-game nyan modpack from that diff, but the issue does not name files or tests to guide the implementation.
