Value Database

The Value Database file format is used to store raw values used by various functionality in the game, such as the physics engine and the behavior of vehicles. It is used by the file Data/vdb.bin (named Data/vdb.xml in Takedown, despite not actually being an XML file.)

Using debug functionality, the values for the player's current vehicle can be exported to an XML file named Export/ValueDB/VehiclePhysics/%s.cfg, where %s is the name of the vehicle's class e.g. HSPC, followed by CAR, the index of the car in its class and the extension .CFG. For example, the Compact Type 1's data are exported to COMPCAR1.CFG.
