Since I've been asked twice for CGs, I went ahead and made a guide for converting the assets. This should suffice, hopefully. The file where the CGs are located at is called EVENTCG.PAK. Video guide for converting CZ assets to PNGs The "decoded" and "PNGs" folders must be created as the guide shows. Can be modified by editing the batch file anyway

Sorry for the late reply, here you go! Took me a bit to find it: Cartagra Rebirth - PNG Conversor Script I've included a batch file to speed up the process. Just needs to be in the same folder as cz4dec.exe. The Python script only needs Pillow to be installed

Can confirm it works like a charm! I was able to convert the decoded files to PNG with a simple Python script. I highly appreciate all the help. Thank you very very much!!

It is, yes!! Tysm! I may be asking too much here, but would it be possible to make them transparent, without the black background? That'd be great. In any case, here are the other samples. There are background images, character sprites and some system images too: Samples.zip (You may need to add ".cz" at the end of the filenames manually)

CZ0: CZ1: CZ3: The images are definitely made with libpng from what I could find. I've also tracked down some of the locations where this CZ encoding appears. Here's one of them. I might as well attach some of the game files if anyone wants to check them out. .cz Image, Game's executable, Game's executable .bak

Yesterday I downloaded Cartagra «Rebirth FHD Size Edition» (Innocent Grey / Gungnir), mostly because of the remastered character sprites and backgrounds, but I've come across a wall at the moment of extracting them. Unlike previous games, this one has the images in a .cz file format, and so I can't view them or convert them to PNG. I've noticed that GarBro is able to view some of these .cz files, so I did some digging and it seems it's because of this: The files with CZ1 work fine. The ones I'm interested in have this and GarBro can't view them. If I manually change it to CZ0, CZ1 or CZ3, it does "work" and GarBro can view them, but the image ends up being really, really distorted. I'm not sure if this is some kind of compression or encryption thing, but this is where I'm at right now, so any help would be highly appreciated. I'm not sure where to go from here, I just want to be able to convert them to PNG, at least. If there are any tools or scripts that may be able to help, please let me know!

Ah, that's right. Lack of money and creative differences, if I recall correctly. Still, even if was because of all that, it's kinda fitting plot-wise.

Nice to meet you all! I'm not too sure how to introduce myself, but I'll start by saying that mystery novels are one of my favorite genres (though I'm bad at solving them). One of the VN's that got me into this were Umineko no Naku Koro ni and Steins;Gate, I really loved them. Lately I've been playing Chaos;Head, Corpse Party Book of Shadows and the Infinity series (Ever17 and Remember11), which turned out to be really fun to play. Currently I'm trying Kara no Shoujo. I had it in my to-play list since a while ago, and now that I finished Chaos;Head Noah I can finally get into playing it. And, hmm, aside from Visual Novels, I like Bullet Hell games such as Touhou and DoDonPachi. The reward of being able to beat them with one credit is amazingly fulfilling. The last time I beat one was like three months ago, so someday I'll try to play them again, hehe. As I'm from South America and my english isn't that good, I kinda get nervous when being in conversations in real time, but I hope that isn't much trouble. xD This is the first forum I'm actually joining, so I don't know what else to say- But I hope I can get along with you all!

I first played Ever17 five years ago, and I remember I didn't understand anything at all, so I left it after finishing one of the Kid's endings. Just a month and a half ago I decided to replay it aaaand it became one of my favorites visual novels. The true ending was soo satisfying to get, and all of the mysteries around the game really hooked me up into trying to solve them myself. It really was amazing to play it. I got the same feeling with R11, and how well the pacing was, alongside with the enigmas and plot-twists, made it very enjoyable... Though I spent 40+ hours searching for the third route, sooo yeah, once I found out there wasn't one, I kinda got... frustrated. Very. Thinking about it now, it really was a clever move the creator made. Can't help but accept that I fell right into the game's trap, and that's somehow amusing. It's a shame there isn't a third route, but the journey of playing this game really was worth it. Still haven't played Never7, but... I doubt I will do it soon. I heard it isn't that good compared to E17 and R11, so I'll leave it for some day when I'm bored.

Hi everyone! So, um, I'm trying to translate Remember 11 to my language (spanish), but I'm having trouble with the script files. These are packed in an AFS file which I managed to extract with a tool. The problem is that they're in .BIP format and I can't find any way to edit them. I tried searching for several days by now, but the closest I've gotten ended up in me not knowing how to convert them into .BIP again (and I'm not even sure it would've worked, either way). So, if anyone knows a tool or some way to edit the script, I'd really really appreciate it!
