AbusivevSticks RC Pubknight 0224 OGL

A Tribes 1 client demo — the server’s own packet stream as one player recorded it. The match record below was decoded out of that stream. Anything read off the filename instead is in its own box, and says so.

This plays the recording with the actual Tribes engine, compiled to WebAssembly — the same playDemo() path the game itself uses. The engine is about 7 MB; it then streams just the game data this recording touches from the archive, as it touches it. Every piece is cached and shared across the site, so a second demo on the same map costs almost nothing. Nothing is fetched until you press play.

The Abusive versus The Sticks
February 24, 2000
Map: Rollercoaster
Abusive defending #5 on OGL
POV: Pubknight, light D

First off, great game Sticks, this map was closer than the final score would indicate.

I would describe myself as having a "blue collar" Light D style.
This demo is not an MA bonanza, but rather (I hope) a decent example of positioning and "smart" D.
I try to always be in proper position and focus on my primary job: defend and retrieve the flag.
If I have managed to wound a guy, or knock him off course so he is no longer a flag threat, I ignore him.
A big believer in "know your role and shut your mouth", kills and score don't matter to me... it's all about the flag baby.
