Im in making of game, actually editing a game. I found some shity game that I can edit. I opened resourse file and some things of them I edited already like sound. And I need some help:
How to open .dds .vs and .sco files?
I need some physic that I will merge to game

BTW its racing game.

For editing .dds files (which are textures), see the nVidia texture tools. As for .vs and .sco files, those sound like game-engine-specific formats, so you're probably out of luck unless the game comes with a mod tool (or you feel like trying to reverse the formats).

Damn. If I will open this file :/

You could try to ask about the file formats from the developer of the game. Most probably you won't get a response though. Guess it's worth a try still.

As Reedbeta said, you're out of luck unless you want to start reverse engineering the file format. You could try to open the file with a hex editor and see if you can extract anything useful out from it. Possibly not, unless you're already experienced at doing this.

Well, if going to extremes with this, you could disassemble the executable and try to find the routines used to read data from the files, and reverse engineer the file format from those routines. Again, requires tons of time, determination and skills, and possibly isn't worth it anyway.

I'd suggest trying to contact the game developer, maybe they'd have someone willing to help out.

You could try Newton Game Dynamics for physics. Be warned through that there seems to be some 64-32 bit compatability issues

If you're stuck, try something else meanwhile. Try something easier, start over, gain experience, keep trying. Eventually you will get past the obstacles. Determination and patience are the real key.
