Extract text from project or blueprint files (CBP)
To convert CBP files to another format, you need Code::Blocks or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Configuration File" file type, you need software like Code::Blocks or a similar tool.
The .CBP file extension serves two entirely different purposes. Most commonly, it is a Code::Blocks Project file. This format uses XML to store project settings, build targets, compiler flags, and relative paths to C or CPP source code. The secondary use is as a Satisfactory Blueprint file created by Coffee Stain Studios. Players use these files to save and share factory layouts.
To open the project files, you need the open-source Code::Blocks IDE. To manage the game blueprints, players rely on the game itself or tools like Satisfactory Calculator. Both file types have strict limitations. .CBP developer files lock your project configuration to a specific, aging IDE, making collaboration difficult if your team uses Visual Studio or CLion. Satisfactory blueprints are zlib compressed, meaning you cannot read or edit them in a standard text editor.
You usually need to extract the data from these files. For Code::Blocks, convert .CBP to standard XML or TXT to review build flags outside the IDE. If you are migrating away, using a build system like CMake is highly recommended over direct file conversion. For game files, convert to JSON or raw text to inspect blueprint variables.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CBP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DEPEND, CPP, ZIP, CBR, JPEG, CDP, JPG, SAV, D and PZFX files.
If you want to convert CBP file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use Code::Blocks or similar software from the "Project configuration or Game Blueprint" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to CBP, try Code::Blocks or another comparable tool in the "Project configuration or Game Blueprint" category.
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 CBP converter.
