Extract text from game mod scripts (CLEO)
To convert CLEO scripts to another format, you need CLEO Library or other Plugin software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Modification Script" file type, you need software like CLEO Library or a similar tool.
The .CLEO file is a compiled game modification script plugin used by the CLEO Library to modify Grand Theft Auto (GTA) games. Modders use these files to inject custom scripts, alter gameplay mechanics, or spawn new objects without altering the core game executable.
This format is highly restrictive. It is a proprietary, compiled binary that functions similarly to a Windows EXE file. The primary disadvantage is that it cannot be natively read or opened in standard text editors. Furthermore, because it executes logic within the game engine, unverified .CLEO files carry a security risk. Users typically need to decompile these files back into human-readable source code formats, such as TXT or S, to study or edit the mod.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary executable script. Standard online converters fail to process it because they expect standard media or document files, not raw game logic. Often, only specialized modding tools like Sanny Builder can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CLEO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CS, CSA, TXT and ZIP files.
If you want to convert CLEO file to DLL, SO, DYLIB, BUNDLE, PLUGIN, XPI, CRX, SAFARIEXTZ, APPEX, KEXT, SYS or DRV, you can use CLEO Library or similar software from the "Game Modification Scripting" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LV2, DYLIB, VST, AAX, DRV, TDE, LADSPA, BUNDLE, AU, DLL, RTAS or SO files to CLEO, try CLEO Library or another comparable tool in the "Game Modification Scripting" 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 CLEO converter.
