Common Data Types
Data types used commonly by the pre-Paradise Burnout games.
Numeric
CGtV3d
A structure comprised of three floating-point component values (x, y, z), bundled into a single unsigned 128-bit value mData. See also RwV3d.
Often used to represent a point in 3D space.
| Offset | Length | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x4 | RwReal | X component |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | RwReal | Y component |
| 0x8 | 0x4 | RwReal | Z component |
| 0xC | 0x4 | Padding |
CGtV3dPlus
Very similar to the CGtV3d type, but includes an additional "plus" component. This extra component may be used to represent a different, but related quantity e.g. length.
| Offset | Length | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x4 | RwReal | X component |
| 0x4 | 0x4 | RwReal | Y component |
| 0x8 | 0x4 | RwReal | Z component |
| 0xC | 0x4 | RwReal | Plus component |
Geometric
CGtPlane
A structure representing a flat 2D plane in 3D space. Equivalent to RwPlane.
| Offset | Length | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | Normal |
| 0x0 | 0x10 | RwReal | Length |
CGtSphere
A structure representing a sphere in 3D space, with a position and radius.
| Offset | Length | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | Position |
| 0x0 | 0x10 | RwReal | Radius |
CGtLine
A structure comprised of two vectors. Used to represent a line in 3D space.
| Offset | Length | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mStartPoint |
| 0x10 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mEndPoint |
CGtMatrix3x4
A structure comprised of four 3D vectors. Equivalent to RwMatrix.
| Offset | Length | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mRight |
| 0x10 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mUp |
| 0x20 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mAt |
| 0x30 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mPos |
CGtAxisAlignedBox
Equivalent to RwBBox.
| Offset | Length | Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mSup | Supremum vertex |
| 0x10 | 0x10 | CGtV3d | mInf | Infimum vertex |
CGtOrthogonalBox
| Offset | Length | Type | Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | 0x40 | CGtMatrix3x4 | mBox |
CGtRGBA
A structure used to represent an RGBA color. It is an alias of the type CGtV4d.
Hashes
CGtHash
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
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 0x5667885FFDD40000.
