IR DS Caproute
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.
IR_DS_CAP.rec
Verified Tribes 1 demo. The engine's own bitstream reader walked all 16,796 server packets, 6,776 recorded inputs to the stream terminator — 100% of the file decoded, no desync.
