Can you extract and Mod AOM:EE's Protox file?

I made a scenario for AOM:TT (CD version) called Battle in Germania.
(https://aom.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=11523), and I would like to submit my file to the Workshop for AOM:EE.

My Scenario uses a Barbarian Unit Mod, and in order to make that Mod work, I needed a Modded version of the AOM:TT Protox file. The protox.xml file for the game was compressed into a .bar file in the game. So an expert Modder sent me a copy of the AOM:TT Protox file with the Barbarian Unit's data "modded" into that Protox file.

So in order for me to make my scenario work with AOM:EE, I need to get the Protox file for AOM:EE. How can I do that? Is the AOM:EE protox file available online, or can someone send it to me as an attachment? Is there an extraction tool that I can use instead on the game's .bar file, if that is what I need to do?

I am looking in the AOM:EE data folder, and I see "proto1.0" and "proto1.0-for-2.0" etc.
The folder data-dev has several files: proto, protox, and proto101x.
Which of those should I modify?
