FTMvS3-DX-Style-8-21-1999

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.

Readme — Readme.txt (from the archive itself)
This is the first map that was lost by FTM in Official OGL play.
S3 really took us to the cleaners on this map and we were forced
to change our strategy since then.  Pay special attention to when
there are 7-6 minutes left in the match.  The S3 flag and FTM flag
are right in the tower together but we couldn't get the cap, S3
was brining it too hard.  There is a huge pile of bodies on the
floor.
