If I recall, people were complaining that asset.dat was a nightmare, but the unfriendliness showed when I inquired about it without trawling through tens of pages of forum searches meant I did not keep on top of the issue as it wasn't one that concerned me. But it now does...
At any rate, a quick dig suggests AssetCacheBuilder is the way forward. Is it neccesary to use AssetCacheBuilder, or can .dat files be hacked open using an editor? ( as it sounds like the builder is one of those horrible "automatic magic" things )
Secondly, if it's necessary, can I acquire this without getting the BFME 1.02 patch?
