NOPEvsBZ Hammerdown Hurricane 072099 OGLleague

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)
Since one of our old-school demos is up, I thought I'd
submit a couple of my personal league favorites.

NOPE vs. {BZ}, 7/20/99, OGL league, Hammerdown D&D
POV: Hurricane (O)

I didn't play in these matches, unfortunately, but they
were some of the best we've ever played in the league.

When you look at this demo, there are some points to
keep in mind:

- The patch was 1.3 or 1.4, hence the mortar/grenade spam.

- The real highlight of this match is what Hurri does to
  get around the spam.  I won't give it away, but if you
  don't want to watch the rest of the match, which is
  fairly furious, fast-forward to 6 minutes left and watch
  r337 Infiltration Action!  It makes me laugh every time
  I rewatch it.  :D

- Unfortunately, {BZ}fireball gets our gen at the exact
  same time, so there's some surprise when the match ends
  3-3.  :/  (It was a league attack, which means we lost.)
