Common Data Types: Difference between revisions

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

= Shared data types =

=== GtV3d ===

A structure containing a vector of type <code>RwV3d</code>.

| 0x00 || Data || RwV3d

|}

=== GtLine ===

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

| 0x00 || Start point || GtV3d

| 0x10 || End point || GtV3d

=== GtMatrix3x4 ===

A structure comprised of four vectors.

| 0x00 || Right || GtV3d

| 0x10 || Up || GtV3d

| 0x20 || At || GtV3d

| 0x30 || Position || GtV3d

=== GtRGB ===

A structure comprised of three floats, each representing a primary additive of an RGB color.

| 0x00 || Red additive || float

|-

| 0x04 || Green additive || float

|-

| 0x08 || Blue additive || float

|-

=== GtHash ===

<code>GtHash</code> is 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 ===

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

For example, the string <code>BURNOUT</code> would be represented by the GtID <code>6226094955724800000</code>.

= RenderWare data types =

{{todo|Move this section to its own page eventually, as these types originate from the RenderWare engine itself as opposed to any external codebases.}}

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

| 0x00 || X value || float

| 0x04 || Y value || float

| 0x08 || Z value || float

=== RwBBox ===

A structure defining the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum| supremum and infimum] vertices of a bounding box.
