RC-Pathetic

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.

RC.... Pathetic.rec

Verified Tribes 1 demo. The engine's own bitstream reader walked all 16,791 server packets, 54,117 recorded inputs to the stream terminator — 100% of the file decoded, no desync.

You ever wonder what a 400= ping capper's POV is like?... here ya go.... lag and all.  heh... This is a recent demo of a pretty good pub game, I had one or two nice snags, but even though we lost in the end, I thought I would submit anyway.
