THEvsSS RD THERaider 1212 OGL

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 — demo_info.txt (from the archive itself)
This is a demo of THE vs SS on 12/12/99 on Raindance. Then second map Rollercoaster was lag stricken so it wasn't quite as intense and fun for either team.
The last 2 minutes are my favorite part of the demo.
