The TRIBES Engine Networking Model PlayT1

The seminal GDC 2001 paper "The TRIBES Engine Networking Model" by Dynamix engineers Mark Frohnmayer and Tim Gift, describing how Starsiege: Tribes keeps a large multiplayer game state synchronized over 1998-era modems: one connection-oriented protocol layering guaranteed and unguaranteed data, a per-object priority/ghost manager that streams to each client only what matters most to it, and client-side move prediction. It became foundational reading for real-time multiplayer networking, and its ideas carried forward into Dynamix's later Torque engine. Contributed to this archive via the PlayT1 community Discord; this is the widely circulated re-typeset PDF of the original paper, and did not come from the theexiled file library. The archive holds a second edition of the same paper from theexiled — frohnmayer.doc, the Word original — filed here beside it under References. Two artifacts of one work, both kept.
