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.

Strategic Alliance (Red Company) versus Acquired Vengeance.

Date: 1999-12-14
POV: [S=A]Shaggy-Z

This recording comes from Red Company's OGL match versus AV.
Tiebreaker map was on Rollercoaster. Ahhhh... This is far and away my
favorite map of the set, because I got to spead my wings a bit and
play the Evil Scout from Hell(TM). :-) AV had some fun before the map
start, using that little server bug that lets you run around before
the game really starts. They snagged a free cap off that while we were
still frozen! Very funny in retrospect. AV were good sports about it,
though, and we restarted the map with no further shenanigans. (I'll
add here that AV showed excellent sportsmanship throughout the match,
and we'll be happy to play them again anytime!)

I think I drove AV nuts with my scout antics, because there was a LOT
of chaingun fire flying past me during the match. I stayed in that
same scout almost the whole map. Only once did AV knock me down --
good work, /AV/C.AnGeL! Oh, the screams over BattleCom when I died!
But geez, AnGeL, that collision must have given you a headache. :-)

Between my harrassment and [S=A]Valkyrie cleaning up after me with
some Heavy O base-trashing, our cappers managed to snatch their flag
quite a bit. We took the map, and the match, with yet a third clock-
runout and two caps to AV's one.
