Bundle 2/NFS Hot Pursuit

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit uses version 3 of the Bundle format, adding support for an additional memory type, game changer IDs, and delta bundles.

Memory types

Across all Bundle versions, a common theme is the use of separate data chunks to define what memory type resources are loaded into. These chunks are as follows:

1. Main Memory
2. Graphics System
3. Graphics Local
4. Disposable

Keep these in mind when viewing the specs below.

CgsResource::BundleV2::ResourceEntry

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ID	mResourceId	Resource game changer ID or name CRC32	Hashed names are all lowercase. Starts with 1 if UniqueId
0x8	0x8	uint64_t	muImportHash	Dependency name(s) CRC32(s)	Multiple are combined with a bitwise OR

0x4A	0x1	uint8_t	muFlags	Resource flags	Unused?
0x4B	0x1	uint8_t	muStreamIndex	Stream index	Used for having multiple assets with the same ID

CgsResource::BundleV2::ImportEntry

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x8	ID	mResourceId	Resource game changer ID or name CRC32	Import entries are appended to the end of internal files
0x8	0x4	uint32_t	muOffset
0xC	0x4			padding
