Hello guys

The H2Z magic at the beginning is the only thing with a sense in that file.

Is there any chance of unpacking this file?

Currently no because there is nothing to extract at the moment.
If the data is obfuscated it's necessary that someone finds the algorithm (and key)

Thank you for reply

Do you suggest somewhere I might try to find the algorithm for this type of file?

I'm trying to translate the game into my language.

The game has several files, only two of them are not encrypted, these two I already translated in hex editor.

In the version of Zeebo (Brazilian console) I found the file of the same name but unencrypted, logically it has differences of the android version, because when I put this file in the android version, the game crashes.

With this zeebo file would it help in some way to extract the file from the android version?

Got something? I'm trying to extract this same file in the Zeebo version so it can modify it and make it look more like the Android version.

Maybe it's even possible to put new maps in it, the Zeebo version is all well '' described ''

but not knowing how to extract the .h2z files can not do much.

[EDIT]


I don't know if it helps anything, but when opening the files with notepad you can see some of the files that make it up (including, you can read some of the texts)

If you can find something that can extract Resident Evil 4 .h2z files for Mobile, Zeebo and Android / iOS contact me ([email protected])

I would love to see a mod of this game, maybe even putting the maps of console versions in it (or at least the models of Leon, Ganados, Ashley and etc ...)

[EDIT2]

I also noticed that in the .mod file (it's something that all Zeebo games that use BREW have, it's kind of a core to run the game on the console) .bin, .mcts, .mca files and etc. file information... related to .h2z files (such as 3d_stg01 )
Ex: item_armor_info.bin / 2d_end_01.mct / ch_leon_base.mcas / ch_ash.mcms / item_healing_info.bin etc...

So 100% sure it is a file to extract and not to open in any editor.

Unfortunately it doesn't work

The game closes when the game opens

I noticed that the new .h2z is four times bigger than the original h2z

Which file are you editing? Send me your apk. Large files because they are not zipped

I'm trying to edit the same file in the attachment (common.h2z)
The new h2z created by your program does not re-encrypt the files, I believe that is why the game is not working.

The extractor works with the Zeebo Version of Resident Evil 4, Thanks Man

Maybe now I can modify the game, I'm really curious if I can put a map or model of the console version in that version.

PS: Here the files of the Zeebo version if someone wants to study or modify

I still don't know how to edit the 3D models of the game or 2D images, but the songs and voices are well '' exposed '' I believe I can edit by voices with more quality without problems.

[edit]
Apart from the sound effects and music from the Zeebo version, all game assets, 3D models, textures and etc ... are in .mct .mcts .mcas .mcms files, both in the Android version and in the Zeebo version.

Does anyone have any idea how to modify these files ?, it seems to me that they are compression files.

So far my only progress has been to manage to edit the songs and sounds, it is until a very easy process, just need to change the specific .bin file for the desired audio file.

Here are some of these files, both from the Android and Zeebo versions of Resident Evil 4 Mobile.
