The Jinya logger

A small Windows program that records your node war from the network, on the character you fight with, and sends it to your guild's war page as it happens. It works through ExitLag, and when the game patches it adapts during the war instead of waiting for an update.

Version 0.1.135, 4.7 MB, Windows 10 or 11. The installer is code-signed (Microsoft-verified), so Windows shows its verified publisher. SHA-256 7ab53387f34d8229639e559a082945106e809efcec0f1fb50e5712baa5488503

The logger recording a node war

Set up in four steps

  1. 1

    Install Npcap

    The free packet driver Wireshark uses. If it's missing, the app downloads the official installer for you and opens it. Jinya reads the game's traffic through it and never touches the game itself.

  2. 2

    Install and sign in

    Run the installer, press Sign in with Jinya, and pick your guild in the browser. No files to copy or keys to paste.

  3. 3

    Press Start before the war

    Leave it running. It waits quietly until the first fight, then records.

  4. 4

    Watch the war page

    Kills reach your guild's page within seconds. When the war ends, open the results screen once for the full stats.

What it does that others don't

Keep ExitLag on

ExitLag and other route optimizers send the game over several connections at once. The logger reads all of them and merges the copies into one clean feed. Ikusa-based loggers expect a single connection.

Record on your fighting character

No alt accounts needed. Jinya can intelligently skip past a missing packet without losing the rest of the stream, allowing its kill/death log to match as closely as possible to the in-game scoreboard even when recording in-combat. It also reassembles the game's split messages, so kills at a message boundary aren't dropped.

Live for everyone

Each kill reaches your guild's war page within seconds, for every member. Other loggers upload after the war; CritCap streams only to the recording player's own browser.

Patch day without the wait

When an update moves things around, the logger works out the new layout from the war in progress, checks it against the results screen, and re-reads the war from the first kill, so nothing recorded before the fix is lost. Ikusa and Nodewar.gg fix their configs too, but drop the fights from before the fix.

Every name, every region

Names are read as the game sends them, so Thai, Korean, Chinese and accented names come through intact. Ikusa-based loggers decode names as Latin-1.

The results screen, exactly

Each time someone opens the results screen, the logger reads the real numbers (damage, healing, CC, structures, mounts, time dead and alive) and the class each player fought as.

More to come

Node captures and holds and every fight's position are recorded already. Structure hits are next, read straight from the game like everything else.

Light on your PC

The recording itself takes about half a percent of one CPU core and 20 MB of memory during a war. A normal war leaves about 3 MB on disk.

Never loses a war

If the connection drops, events are saved and sent the next time it starts. Exports for Ikusa, Nodewar.gg, GuildYapper and CoGM are written after each war, and the app keeps every war you recorded. It updates itself.

Compared with other loggers

Every logger here reads the game's network traffic with Npcap. They differ in what happens on patch day, and in when your guild sees the war.

What the logger touches

The logger only reads network traffic that already reaches your PC, the same way Ikusa-based loggers have for years. It doesn't read or change the game's memory, inject anything, or send input to the game. It sends kills, positions and results to Jinya, and nothing else from your PC.
