Common Data Types

This page is for types used in Takedown-era games. For types used in Paradise, see Common Data Types (Burnout Paradise). For types used in Criterion NFS games, see Common Data Types (Need for Speed).

Data types used commonly by the pre-Paradise Burnout games.

Vectors

CGtV3d

A structure containing a vector of type RwV3d.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x10	u_long128	mData	16 bytes holding an RwV3d object

CGtV3dPlus

To do: Find out what object this holds.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x10	u_long128	mData	16 bytes holding an unknown object

CGtPlane

A structure containing a structure of type RwPlane.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x10	u_long128	mData	16 bytes holding an RwPlane object

Matrices

CGtAxisAlignedBox

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x10	CGtV3d	mSup	Supremum vertex
0x10	0x10	CGtV3d	mInf	Infimum vertex

CGtLine

A structure comprised of two vectors, used to represent a line in 3D space.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x10	CGtV3d	mEndPoint	Start point
0x10	0x10	CGtV3d	mEndPoint	End point

CGtMatrix3x4

A structure comprised of four vectors.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x10	CGtV3d	mRight	Right
0x10	0x10	CGtV3d	mUp	Up
0x20	0x10	CGtV3d	mAt	At
0x30	0x10	CGtV3d	mPos	Position

CGtRGB

A vector with three floats, each representing a primary additive of an RGB color.

Name	Type	Length	Comments
CGtRGB	CGtV3d	0x10	Red, green, and blue additives, respectively

Hashes

CGtHash

CGtHash is a derivative of CRC-32—a 32-bit value storing the hash of a given string, generated via a custom hash function. These hashes are used by the Takedown-era games to identify and properly assign values within files such as the Value Database.

GtID

GtID is a data type used in many Criterion games as an identifier for objects. It is an alias of the type uint64_t and is used to store a compressed ASCII string.

For example, the string BURNOUT would be represented by the GtID 6226094955724800000.

Name	Type	Length	Comments
GtID	RwUInt64	0x8

RenderWare data types

To do: Move this section to its own page eventually, as these types originate from the RenderWare engine itself as opposed to any external codebases.

RwV3d

A structure comprised of three floats, mainly used to represent the location of a point in 3D space.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x4	RwReal	x	X value
0x4	0x4	RwReal	y	Y value
0x8	0x4	RwReal	z	Z value

RwBBox

A structure defining the supremum and infimum vertices of a bounding box.

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0xC	RwV3d	sup	Supremum vertex
0xC	0xC	RwV3d	inf	Infimum vertex

RwPlane

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0xC	RwV3d	normal
0xC	0x4	RwReal	distance

RwRGBA

Offset	Length	Type	Name	Description	Comments
0x0	0x1	RwUInt8	red
0x1	0x1	RwUInt8	green
0x2	0x1	RwUInt8	blue
0x3	0x1	RwUInt8	alpha
