{DP} vs FTM scrimm RC 10-23-99

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.

Readme — readme.txt (from the archive itself)
This is an old {DP} demo WaR dug up recently.  It's nothing special, but its neat to see how RC was played by top teams almost a year and a half ago.  At the time I think {DP} was around #12 and FTM was probably top 10.  This isn't FTM's starting roster, obviously. It was just a pick-up scrim.  There are a couple notables in here.  GuArD^DoG is now Fallen|GD.  WaTcH is NuTz|Notorious.  HuNTiN is on Khorne.  Notice that there aren't any Mine/Disks, no uber-fast cap routes, no clustering.  Very old school.

Enjoy
