TLI Tracker

A real-time farming tracker for Torchlight: Infinite that reads the game's local log file to track map runs, item pickups, inventory value, market activity, and session history.

Features

Session Tracking

• Map tracking — detects map entries and exits, shows a list of all maps run this session with time spent per map
• Loot per map — tracks items picked up during each map run and their FE value
• Map cost tracking — detects items consumed when opening a map (beacons, compasses) and subtracts them from profit
• Net profit per map — gross loot minus map cost, shown per map and for the full session
• FE/hr and FE/min — based on time spent in maps only (excludes town time), with real-time rate shown as secondary
• Session stats — maps run, average profit per map, and best map of the session highlighted
• Session reset — save the current session to history and start fresh without losing your inventory snapshot

Inventory & Market

• Inventory networth — live value of everything in your bag, sorted by value; filter by item category
• Instant market updates — inventory updates immediately when you list, buy, or claim items on the exchange
• Market log — dedicated tab showing all your recent listed, claimed, and bought market events

Prices

• Live market prices — fetches price data from titrack.ninja on startup and on demand
• In-game price capture — also updates prices when you search the in-game exchange

Session History

• Saved sessions — sessions are automatically saved to disk when you reset or close the app
• Per-session stats — view profit, FE/hr, maps run, and best map for any past session
• Per-map breakdown — click any saved session to drill into individual map loot and costs
• Export to Discord — copy a formatted session summary (stats + top drops) to your clipboard with one click

Interface

• Compact overlay mode — shrinks to a small always-on-top window showing profit, FE/hr, map time, and real time while you play
• Theme options — Midnight (dark default), Light, Miku (image background), and Custom (your own background image)
• Auto-updater — notifies you when a new version is available and downloads it in the background

How it works

Torchlight: Infinite writes game events to a local log file when logging is enabled in settings. This tracker watches that file in real time and parses:

• SwitchBattleAreaUtil:_JoinFightSuccess() — map entry with area ID, map ID, and type
• ItemChange@ ProtoName=PickItems — item pickups (delta from previous slot count)
• ItemChange@ ProtoName=Spv3Open — items consumed opening a map (beacon/compass cost)
• ItemChange@ ProtoName=XchgForSale — item listed on market (removed from inventory)
• ItemChange@ ProtoName=XchgReceive — FE claimed from a sale (added to inventory)
• ItemChange@ ProtoName=XchgBuy — FE spent buying from market (deducted from inventory)
• ItemChange@ ProtoName=ResetItemsLayout — full inventory snapshot (on sort or relog)
• BagMgr@:InitBagData — inventory snapshot on login
• XchgSearchPrice socket messages — price data captured from in-game exchange searches

No data is sent anywhere. Everything runs locally.

Setup

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11
• Torchlight Infinite installed and logging enabled

In-game setup

1. Open TLI settings and enable Logging
2. When you first start the tracker, sort your inventory or relog — this forces the game to write your current inventory state so the tracker can pick it up

Running the tracker

1. Download the latest installer (TLI-Tracker-Setup-x.x.x.exe) from the Releases page

2. Run the installer and choose your install location

3. Launch TLI Tracker

4. Go to Settings and click Select Log File, then navigate to your UE_game.log:

   C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\[TLI folder]\TorchLight\Saved\Logs\UE_game.log
   

   (The exact path varies by install — search for UE_game.log if unsure)

   Alternatively, click Select Game Directory and point it to your TLI install folder — the tracker will find the log automatically.

5. Start playing — the tracker updates in real time

Windows SmartScreen warning

Because the app is unsigned, Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" warning on first run. Click More info → Run anyway to proceed. The app is open source and you can inspect the full source code in this repo.

Credit

The log file watcher (src/tor/main.js) is based on the original YiHuo ETor (易火-ETor) by the Chinese TLI developer community, English translation by GIBOo_. The rest of this project (frontend, Electron main process, log parsing logic) was built separately.
