+# RR3 Asset Extraction Tools
+
+Cross-platform command-line tools for extracting and packing Real Racing 3 `.z` asset files.
+
+## What Are .z Files?
+
+RR3 stores game assets (textures, data) as ZLIB-compressed files with `.z` extension:
+- **Format**: Standard ZLIB/Deflate compression
+- **Content**: Usually DDS textures (ETC2 for Android, BC3 for PC)
+- **Magic Bytes**: `0x78 0x9C` or `0x78 0xDA`
+
+## Available Tools
+
+### 1. `extract_z_asset.sh` (Linux/Unix)
+Extracts a single `.z` file to its original format.
+
+```bash
+chmod +x extract_z_asset.sh
+./extract_z_asset.sh sprites_0.etc.dds.z
+./extract_z_asset.sh sprites_0.etc.dds.z /custom/output/directory
+```
+
+### 2. `batch_extract_z_assets.sh` (Linux/Unix)
+Batch extracts all `.z` files from a directory.
+
+```bash
+chmod +x batch_extract_z_assets.sh
+./batch_extract_z_assets.sh /path/to/assets
+./batch_extract_z_assets.sh /path/to/assets /path/to/output
+```
+
+### 3. `pack_z_asset.sh` (Linux/Unix)
+Packs a file with ZLIB compression to create `.z` format.
+
+```bash
+chmod +x pack_z_asset.sh
+./pack_z_asset.sh sprites_0.etc.dds
+# Output: sprites_0.etc.dds.z
+```
+
+### 4. `extract_z_asset.ps1` (Windows PowerShell)
+PowerShell version for Windows systems.
+
+```powershell
+.\extract_z_asset.ps1 -InputFile "C:\assets\sprites_0.etc.dds.z"
+.\extract_z_asset.ps1 -InputFile "C:\assets\file.z" -OutputDir "C:\extracted"
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Python 3+** (for Linux/Unix scripts)
+- **PowerShell 5.1+** (for Windows scripts)
+- **Bash** (Linux/Unix/macOS/WSL)
+
+### Installation
+
+**Ubuntu/Debian:**
+```bash
+sudo apt install python3 bash
+```
+
+**RedHat/CentOS:**
+```bash
+sudo yum install python3 bash
+```
+
+**Windows:**
+- PowerShell is pre-installed
+- For bash scripts: Use WSL or Git Bash
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Extract Single Asset
+```bash
+# Extract texture file
+./extract_z_asset.sh game_assets/sprites_0.etc.dds.z
+
+# Output: game_assets/sprites_0.etc.dds
+```
+
+### Batch Extract Entire Asset Directory
+```bash
+# Extract all .z files from APK assets
+./batch_extract_z_assets.sh /path/to/rr3_apk/assets
+
+# Results saved to: /path/to/rr3_apk/assets/extracted/
+```
+
+### Modify and Repack
+```bash
+# 1. Extract
+./extract_z_asset.sh original.dds.z
+
+# 2. Edit original.dds with image editor (GIMP, Photoshop, etc.)
+
+# 3. Repack
+./pack_z_asset.sh modified.dds
+
+# 4. Replace in APK/server
+cp modified.dds.z /path/to/server/assets/
+```
+
+## Integration with RR3 Server
+
+These tools are also available as C# services in the main server:
+
+```csharp
+// Inject service
+public class MyController : ControllerBase
+{
+    private readonly AssetExtractionService _assetExtraction;
+    
+    public async Task<IActionResult> ProcessAsset()
+    {
+        var extracted = await _assetExtraction.ExtractZFileAsync("sprites_0.etc.dds.z");
+        return Ok(extracted);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+See `ASSET_EXTRACTION_GUIDE.md` for full server integration documentation.
+
+## File Format Details
+
+### ZLIB Header
+- **Byte 0**: `0x78` (CMF - Compression Method and Flags)
+- **Byte 1**: `0x9C` (FLG - Flags, default compression)
+  - Or `0xDA` (maximum compression)
+  - Or `0x01` (no compression)
+
+### DDS Texture Format
+After extraction, `.z` files typically reveal DDS textures:
+- **Header**: 128 bytes (`DDS ` magic + DDS_HEADER)
+- **Format**: ETC2_RGBA (Android) or BC3/DXT5 (PC)
+- **Mipmaps**: Usually included for performance
+
+## Workflow: Custom Car Textures
+
+```bash
+# 1. Extract original car texture
+./extract_z_asset.sh car_001_body.etc.dds.z
+
+# 2. Convert DDS to PNG (requires ImageMagick or GIMP)
+convert car_001_body.etc.dds car_001_body.png
+
+# 3. Edit PNG in image editor
+# ... make your changes ...
+
+# 4. Convert back to DDS with ETC2 compression
+# (requires AMD Compressonator or similar)
+compressonatorcli -fd ETC2_RGBA custom_car.png car_001_body.etc.dds
+
+# 5. Repack to .z
+./pack_z_asset.sh car_001_body.etc.dds
+
+# 6. Upload to server or replace in APK
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Permission denied"
+```bash
+chmod +x *.sh
+```
+
+### "Python 3 not found"
+```bash
+# Check if installed
+python3 --version
+
+# Install if missing (Ubuntu/Debian)
+sudo apt install python3
+```
+
+### "No valid ZLIB blocks found"
+The file may not be ZLIB compressed. Check with:
+```bash
+hexdump -C file.z | head
+# Should see: 78 9c or 78 da at the start
+```
+
+### "Script runs but produces empty file"
+The file may be corrupted or use a different compression format. Try:
+```bash
+file sprites_0.etc.dds.z
+# Should show: zlib compressed data
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Single extraction**: ~50-200ms per file
+- **Batch processing**: Can handle 1000+ files
+- **Memory usage**: Loads entire file into RAM
+  - 10 MB file = ~20 MB RAM (temporary)
+  - 100 MB file = ~200 MB RAM (temporary)
+
+## Credits

+- **Cross-Platform Port**: RR3 Community Server Team
+- **ZLIB Library**: Python `zlib` module / .NET `System.IO.Compression`
