Revision as of 21:12, 7 March 2021

The Burnout Game Data format contains configuration data and settings for a given track, such as traffic density levels, whether the track is forward or reverse, spawn coordinates for player and traffic vehicles, the start/end location of a lap, signature takedown data, and much more. It uses the extension .BGD.

This page documents the BGD version used by the Takedown-era Burnout games; see the Burnout 2 Game Data page for documentation of the rather different and much older version of the format used by Burnout 2.

Versions

Starting with Burnout 3's demo, BGD started using a single number at the very start of the file to mark its version.
