chaingun short

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 4,731 server packets, 13,296 recorded inputs to the stream terminator — 100% of the file decoded, no desync.

Was reading on the OGL forums that some people would like to see a demo illustrating chaingun usage...
so, I've attempted to do 2... Chaingun_long is a full 20 min. map on Iceridge where I try primarily to use the chaingun.  However, I do log one nice double disc kill =)
It starts off kinda slow, I get hot in the middle... and can't hit anything at the end... so it's a good perspective of all aspects of gunning.
Chaingun_short is a game I joined in progress on Snowblind, I think the whole demo is only about 7 minutes long, but some nice CG kills in there.
Hope you find em useful.
