Units, maps & total conversions
The mod downloads from TAUniverse's Central Consciousness server (2003–2005), rescued in 2026: 31 unit mods, 6 maps and one total conversion. Many of the unit mods ship the complete .bos script source next to the compiled .cob — the same bytecode family as our AMPH decode article.
.ufo archives — FileUniverse's container format (a Cavedog .hpi variant wrapped in a light encryption layer). Drop them into the game directory like .ufo/.gp3 archives. Maps are .tnt/.ota inside the same containers. All files pass unzip -t; hashes are in SHA256SUMS.txt. Everything else from the same server — the compiler toolchain, editors and script packs — is on the BOS toolchain archive page.The files

Provenance & integrity
Downloaded from cc.tauniverse.com (TAUniverse Central Consciousness) in October 2026; the site's own download listings date the files to 2003–2009. Two byte-identical duplicates in the original download (Adv_Kbot_Pack(1).zip, Core_TA-1A(1).zip) were dropped. The Internet Archive holds only a small subset of these files (furys_den.rar among them), so this mirror — not any public web archive — is the record of the full set.
What to do with them
Play: copy the .ufo contents into your Total Annihilation directory (or the mod loader of your choice).
Study: the mods with .bos sources are real-world BOS code — query handlers, aim fire, restore threads, the same script class documented step by step in the AMPH article. The_Secret_Forces_v0.7a alone contains 24 compiled scripts with their sources.
Render: every .3do+.cob unit here is a candidate for our COB-exact animation previews — the same pipeline that renders the units on ta-archive.com. Expect some of these to turn up on the site as decoded previews.
