AttribSys vault resources act as a database which holds attributes for vehicles, engines, surfaces and more. They are split into the vault, which holds information needed to access the data, and the bin, which holds the actual attribute data. Vaults work with the AttribSys schema found in the executable.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description
0x0	0x8	uint8_t*	mpau8VltData
0x8	0x4	uint32_t	muVltSizeInBytes
0xC	0x4			padding

0x18	0x4	uint32_t	muBinSizeInBytes

Vault[edit | edit source]

The vault is a set of structures with ChunkBlocks which are read sequentially. In Burnout Paradise, these are:

Vers: The version
DepN: The dependency node
StrN: The start node
DatN: The data node
ExpN: The export node
PtrN: The pointer node

Attrib::Vault::ChunkBlock[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x4	uint32_t	mType	A type ID similar in form to a magic number
0x4	0x4	uint32_t	mSize	The total size of the chunk

Version[edit | edit source]

Attrib::Vault::VersionNode[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ChunkBlock	super_ChunkBlock
0x8	0x8	uint64_t	mVersion	Version hash

Dependency node[edit | edit source]

Attrib::Vault::DependencyNode[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ChunkBlock	super_ChunkBlock
0x8	0x8	HashInt	mCount	Number of dependencies

This structure is immediately followed by the hashes of the dependency strings, then the offsets of the strings relative to the start of the first string, then the strings themselves.

Start node[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ChunkBlock	super_ChunkBlock
???

Size is 16 bytes, but the final 8 bytes is always null. This node appears to not be read by the game.

Data node[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ChunkBlock	super_ChunkBlock

This is followed by several collections.

This node is not read directly. Pointers in other nodes read the data that lies in this node.

Attrib::CollectionLoadData[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description
0x0	0x8	Key	mKey
0x8	0x8	Key	mClass
0x10	0x8	Key	mParent
0x18	0x4	uint32_t	mTableReserve	Amount allocated for entries
0x1C	0x4	uint32_t	mTableKeyShift
0x20	0x4	uint32_t	mNumEntries	Number of entries
0x24	0x2	uint16_t	mNumTypes	Number of types
0x26	0x2	uint16_t	mTypesLen	Amount allocated for types
0x28	0x4	void*	mLayout	padding
0x28	0x4			padding

This is always followed by the types, then the entries (which are the key followed by several unknown bytes - might be a node).

Attrib::Node[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Comments
0x0	0x8	Key	mKey
0x8	0x4	anon_union_0	field_1	Just a pointer
0xC	0x2	uint16_t	mTypeIndex
0xE	0x1	uint8_t	mMax	Assuming collections use this, it's the only part of the entry used
0xF	0x1	uint8_t	mFlags

Attrib::Node::anon_union_0[edit | edit source]

Length	Type	Name
0x4	void*	mPtr
0x4	Array*	mArray
0x4	uintptr_t	mValue
0x4	uintptr_t	mOffset

Export node[edit | edit source]

Attrib::Vault::ExportNode[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ChunkBlock	super_ChunkBlock
0x8	0x8	HashInt	mCount	Number of dependencies

Followed by export entries of an amount defined by mCount.

Attrib::Vault::ExportEntry[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description
0x0	0x8	ExportID	mID
0x8	0x8	TypeID	mType
0x10	0x4	uint32_t	mDataBytes
0x14	0x4	uint32_t	mDataOffset	Points to data in DatN (data node)

Pointer node[edit | edit source]

Attrib::Vault::PointerNode[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ChunkBlock	super_ChunkBlock

Followed by several PtrRefs.

Attrib::PtrRef[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name
0x0	0x4	uint32_t	mFixupOffset
0x4	0x2	uint16_t	mPtrType
0x6	0x2	uint16_t	mIndex
0x8	0x8	anon_union_0	field_3

Pointers with type 2 with an index of 1 point to the bin.

Attrib::PtrRef::anon_union_0[edit | edit source]

Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x8	ExportID	mExportID
0x8	HashInt	mOffset

Bin[edit | edit source]

The bin is primarily data but has one ChunkBlock in Burnout Paradise:

StrE: The string exports

The rest of the data in the bin is not associated to a chunk and is instead pointed to by the vault.

String exports[edit | edit source]

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ChunkBlock	super_ChunkBlock

This is followed by null-terminated strings.

Attributes[edit | edit source]

The fields and order are defined by the AttribSys schema.
