I can't seem to figure out a way to open any of these files. Any help would be appreciated.
try using winrar/7zip?
Yeah I tried with winrar, but it didn't work. I thought they might be .pak files, but maybe they are not?
Who ever you got it from changed the file extension. Ask them.
.pak files, sounds like the temporary files µtorrent uses.
Open them in a hex editor and look at the header
[QUOTE=ashxu;19543665]Who ever you got it from changed the file extension. Ask them.[/QUOTE] It's in a game. (The Saboteur) [QUOTE=Lazor;19543725]Open them in a hex editor and look at the header[/QUOTE] Good idea. I looked and the first four characters are OOPM. I did a google search and it seems OOP might be a packer archive type file. That doesn't explain the "M" in the header though. Maybe it is just a coincidence. Seems like there is no way to open a OOP file.
Try changing the extensions to .rar and see if it will open in winrar then.

A files extension doesn't neccessarily determin the format it was made in, so to speak. Aka a .uc file is not neccessarily a Unreal engine script file.

It's likely that those files are a custom format designed specifically for the game. As such it's unlikely that a tool is lying around that can read them unless there is some sort of modding community for that particular game. To put it in perspective, all "Archives" are just a sequence of bytes in a particular order, programs like WinRAR know how to convert that sequence into something you can use. However these .PACK files are probably in a different sequence that WinRAR (7zip WinZIP etc...) does not recognize.

Notepad opens EVERYTHING. Just not the way you want it to.
Notepad + .rar file + editing = fun.
