Structs

AssetID

Asset ID is a type derived from uint32 (EvilEngine) or uint64 (GoodEngine). It is considered its own type due to how the game uses Asset IDs to uniquely identify an asset and manage communication between them.

Type Description
uint 32-bit unsigned integer
ulong 64-bit unsigned integer

EvilEngine

To calculate the asset ID for the original game's assets, the game runs the BKDR hash algorithm on the asset's name converted to upper case. This is specially important to know when editing RWTX assets; to be able to refer to them from MODL, BSP and JSP assets, the game calculates the hash at runtime and finds the textures based on that.

This is HipHopTool's implementation of the algorithm in C#: 

   public static uint BKDRHash(string str)
   {
       str = str.ToUpper();
       uint seed = 131;
       uint hash = 0;
       int length = str.Length;
       
       if (length > 31)
           length = 31;
       
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
           hash = (hash * seed) + str[i];
       
       return hash;
   }

xVec2

xVec2 is a set of 2 floats, which usually represent a 2D vector on the world; it is used mostly for texture coordinates.

Source code: xMath2.h 

struct xVec2
{
    F32 x;
    F32 y;
};
Type Description
float X - The X coordinate of this vector
float Y - The Y coordinate of this vector

xVec3

xVec3 is a set of 3 floats, which usually represent a 3D vector on the world, be it position, rotation or scale.

Source code: xVec3.h 

struct xVec3
{
    F32 x;
    F32 y;
    F32 z;
};
Type Description
float X - The X coordinate of this vector
float Y - The Y coordinate of this vector
float Z - The Z coordinate of this vector

xVec4

xVec4 is a set of 4 floats. They can represent a vector in 4D space, and also a color with R, G, B, A components ranging from 0 to 1.

Source code: xMath3.h 

struct xVec4
{
    F32 x;
    F32 y;
    F32 z;
    F32 w;
};
Type Description
float X - The X coordinate of this vector
float Y - The Y coordinate of this vector
float Z - The Z coordinate of this vector
float W - The W coordinate of this vector

xColor

xColor is a set of 4 bytes, which represent a 32 bit color with red, blue, green and alpha components.

In the source code, xColor is a typedef for iColor_tag, which can be different per platform (usually not though).

Source code: iColor.h 

struct iColor_tag
{
    uint8 r;
    uint8 g;
    uint8 b;
    uint8 a;
};
Type Description
byte R - red (0-255)
byte G - green (0-255)
byte B - blue (0-255)
byte A - alpha (0-255)

Motion

Motion is a 0x30-byte structure (0x3C in TSSM) used in several asset types (PLAT and BUTN) which contains some settings defining how the object should move.

Source code: xEntMotion.h
