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.

Watch it

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.

Verified Tribes 1 demo. The engine's own bitstream reader walked all 12,684 server packets, 40,456 recorded inputs to the stream terminator — 100% of the file decoded, no desync.

Ogl Match 9/29/99
Demo recorded by: [E5] Starscream

This is mostly flag running. Quick cap outs on both Raindance and Rollercoaster, due to great heavy O and D from E5. WM had some interesting defensive setups, some stuff i havn't seen before. check out that early game flag defense on Raindance. heh. now that's creative. Anyway, I have a couple fuckups in Raindance, where you can watch me run around like an idiot and then shoot myself, and i occasionally waste time in Rollercoaster waiting on the flag... but on the whole it's a good performance, and hopefully something you can tell your children about one day.
:P
