Extract text from Containment Breach maps (CBMAP)
To convert CBMAP maps to another format, you need SCP - Containment Breach or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Procedural Map Save File" file type, you need software like SCP - Containment Breach or a similar tool.
The .CBMAP file stores the procedurally generated map layout for the indie horror game SCP - Containment Breach. It contains room coordinates, initialization seeds, and corridor connections utilized by the game's Blitz3D engine to render the playable environment.
Players often need to open or extract .CBMAP files to share specific facility layouts, plan speedrun routes, or troubleshoot game crashes. However, this is a proprietary binary format. It relies entirely on the internal logic of the game engine to translate grid data into 3D space. The files are completely unreadable in standard text editors or web browsers.
Converting a .CBMAP file to a standard 3D mesh format like OBJ or FBX is not natively possible because the file does not store 3D geometry - it only stores references to external game assets. The most practical conversion target is extracting the raw map array data into JSON or TXT for analytical purposes.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it is closed and undocumented. Standard online converters will fail to process it. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CBMAP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CBMAP converter.
