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 18,503 server packets, 41,937 recorded inputs to the stream terminator — 100% of the file decoded, no desync.

Readme — readme.txt (from the archive itself)
It seems the tribes2 dev team is playing hunters more than any other game anymore.  On the server "Kidney Thief's Domain" around 6pst, you can usually find at least 3 dev team guys...prolly more if you know what they smurf as.

The game, TEAM hunters, adds a new twist.  Teammates try to consolidate collected flags for maximum pts.  If you haven't played it you are missing out, but not for long.  Its one of the games that will ship with T2.

I've decided to bust out the camcorder for the sessions lately and this is my first attempt.

Recording:
I play a support role mostly.  Although I waste a lot of time in the doldrums of this match fighting over a station rather than defending our lead flag holder.  I also try to desperately to keep a portable station up in a area that's too heavily trafficked before I finally get a good camping spot near the end of this mission.  This game type makes me wanna curse.

enjoy,
drawkward
