What is an HHA file?

HHA files mostly belong to Hothead Games’ Swarm Engine. A HHA file can represent different data depending on its context. In one case, it is used as a Hothead game archive that supports the Hothead Games’ Swarm Engine. This archive holds game data and even precompiled header information, a technique also seen in titles such as Halo 2.
In another context, a HHA file serves as a Homag Cutting List for CAD/CAM systems. This version is formatted in UTF-8 and is used within furniture design workflows by companies like HOMAG WOODWOP and managed via tools such as HHCalc. You can find more details about this use at the HOMAG website.
Consider these two key aspects:

Game Archive: Contains game assets and precompiled data for engine use.

Design List: Contains cutting and design instructions for CAD/CAM applications.
