Below is the first Campaign cheat code:
Click on Total Annihilation's Single Player icon. When
the Single Player Game page appears type DRDEATH (it is
not case sensitive). This will cause a Cavedog Entertainment
bone to appear between the Load Game and Previous Menu
icons on the screen. Clicking on the bone will take players
to a special Play Any Game screen where they can play
any Total Annihilation mission, even if they have not
earned their way to that level yet.
Editing:
Use the Write_HPI file to extract the totala1.hpi files.
This tells you the files use. But I don't know how to
get it to work.
Edit TDF files to edit the weapons, smudge, etc.
Edit the FBI files to edit units.
Edit the GUI files to edit the cursor, buttons, etc.
Edit the BOS files to edit ingame explosions.
Open the PCX (pictures) files to edit the icon pics.
Open the WAV (sound) files to edit the sounds.
3DO - unknown
COB - unknown
FNT - unknown
GAF - unknown
To edit the new unit = Flakker, extract the file and
change file that was extracted to the name 'AFlakker.ufo'
to 'AFlakker.hpi'. Then use write_HPI on it. Then after
the files are extracted change the name back to 'AFlakker.ufo'.
I don't know how to get my edited files to work.

Here is a cheat and some hints for Total Annihilation.
By Geoffrey Giesemann
Cheat:
If you are defeated in battle you may still move on to
the next battle. The next battle should be selectable
in the battles menu. Just click and start.
Hints:
The last battles of the game are relatively easy if you
are Arm. Just build tons of mines, tons of collectors/reactors/geo-powerplants,
add about 3 of every type of unit construction building.
Set them all on en masse and move the 'new unit location'
to somewhere else (it gets crowded). Attack the doomsday
weapons with merls. Merls can fire outside D.day range
and the weapon does not need to be visible. Because you
can see all wreckages you can attack with some Merls and
an advanced radar. You also hit the 200 max unit limit.
Your units also get stuck around the battlefield because
of wreckages. This is really crippling in narrow sections.
Have a few construction aircraft hovering around to help
out in the clean up.

Total Annihilation
Building things that normally could be built by Advanced
Construction units and Construction units. Select the
unit (Construction or Advanced Construction unit) and
press Enter. While in the message-mode you just select
the commander and press ENTER again. Now you will see
that you can build things like Big Bertha's and Guardians
and even a Warlord (I think not tested, but you'll have
to do the same trick as above with an advanced shipyard)
with your Commander. Steven Langbroek, AKA Chaos
Here are two dirty tricks for total annihilation:
Trick 1:
1. Build a atlas/valkyrie and go 'commander hunting'.
2. Simply go up to the enemy commander and click on it
with the 'load' cursor.
3. hit self destruct or fly off into enemy territory,
if the atlas/valkyrie dies so does the commander. (It
also is an almost nuclear explosion.)
Trick 2:
Because of the slow speed the invader/roach isn't always
useful, but with another unit it can be great.
1. Build a atlas/valkyrie and a invader/roach
2. go into enemy territory and self-destruct or kill the
atlas/valkyrie.
3. Kaboom! The quick way.
