VisHeZz HPB wh0reing lesson

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.

Verified Tribes 1 demo. The engine's own bitstream reader walked all 6,571 server packets, 21,720 recorded inputs to the stream terminator — 100% of the file decoded, no desync.

How to be a HPB Wh0re :)

	Well i've been playing TRIBES for about 2 years now and boy have I learned a lot.  This demo is mostly for all you HPBs who need a little help with your chaingun.  It is of me and my Neighbor (CitizenKain) dueling.  He got me into TRIBES so of course hes gonna be l33t too :) Anyways, take a look at my demo, i think that you can get a feel for the arrt of HPB Chaining by this.  Notice the lead.  The higher the ping, the bigger the lead.  Also, never look where you are aiming, always watch the bullets.  Feel free to send me some comments about this.  My e-mail is [email redacted]

Have Fun and Wh0re!
