Sy's asset builder no longer works on my Windows7 64bit operating system after a windows update patch: I cannot drag-and-drop files in to the list-box. I need it to create asset files for worldbuilder. Does anyone have the algorithm to create asset.dat or better still the VB6 source-code for the program? I can then build a new version (or possibly an Excel replacement) that I could post at the TTA website.
asset.dat algorithm

I usually have this issue if I reformat my comp. Try to use different compatibility modes and admin mode for the asset builder, there's a fix for it. I can't tell you the exact settings because for me it was just some fiddling with the modes and somehow it always ended up working.

Try running it in every compatibility mode possible, that's what i did on mine to make it work.
Windows 10: Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) works for me.
Note: I also tried this on Windows 7 before I upgraded, and it worked, if I remember correctly, I used one of the XP packs or Vista packs.

Thanks for the replies. After a lot of attempts with compatibility settings it started working properly. I would still be interested in getting the algorithm/source code just in case tweaking fails to work one day.
