Filter Info

This is an unlisted page that is transcluded on Item Filtering and Customization.
=== In-Game Settings ===
Loot filter options are accessible within the PD2 Options menu of the in-game options. Hotkeys can be set in the Configure Controls menu.
These options are not affected by lootfilters:
* Show Item Level: shows item level and affix level in the tooltip of items that may use these stats
* Show Stat Ranges: shows ranges in item tooltips for variable attributes
* Always Show Items: shows items on the ground without needing to hold Alt
These are the main options that affect custom filtering:
* Enable Loot Filter: enables the filter
* Filter Level: changes which rules/notifications will be enabled within the filter
The default hotkey to reload the filter file is Numpad 0 and can be changed in the game's Configure Controls menu.

TheIrateSeagoer's Loot Filter	2023-03-04	TheIrateSeagoerCaptainJack#6308	This filter has all of the values from Arreat Summit listed on the equipment, ensuring you always know the max sockets/max defense of any piece of equipment (with ilvl specific information). Every magic item has the rune needed for the crafting recipes in preparation for their use in season 2. Runes are colored by the difficulty they start to drop in. Every set and unique is alerted by default at low levels. Armors are marked with a perfect and good suffix for their base armor roll. Perfect rolls are denoted with purple information, red denote good rolls.

ElPocoBurrito's Filter 	2021-12-23	ElPocoBurrito#0001 	S4 Ready A heavily modified version of Wolfie's "Wolfie" filter tailored to be filled with features including some which are absent from many others (like telling you the set name next to the set drop). My philosophy is to be slightly strict and to keep somewhat vanilla looking item names with few exceptions (I make sure to have rare and valuable items stand out). Please give me feedback and comments on discord through DMs or the #lootfilter channel.
1l4u's Loot Filter 	2021-08-12	1l4u 	Update for season 3. Super strict end game filter.

Most changes allow for a briefer appearance of basic items to present a unified look. Full details with screenshots at the github repository. Contact me via reddit.com here
Gothablo's Loot Filter 	2021-03-16	Gothablo 	It is a filter based on the code "Kryszard's PD2 Loot Filter". The main changes are aesthetic elements, but there are a few changes added from me. From the beginning of the game to END GAME, items that we do not need or are of little value are removed. All MAGIC and RARE items should be and identified to check if they are worth to the trader. In addition, the filter code can be easily changed by yourself.
Pj's Loot Filter 	2020-12-07	Pj#5884 	Pretty strict end-game loot filter. Based loosely on Kryszard's filter with a lot of changes. Hides all normal and exceptional stuff, only shows top-end elite items. Shows all set/unique items but only alerts on exceptional/elite versions. Hides tons of garbage. Only shows full rejuvs/super potions. Heavily commented for clarity. Work in progress, check back frequently for updates.
Luke's late game filter 	2020-11-24	Luke 	My late game filter i updated on fly. No leveling rules. Good as reference if you want to write your own filter. Filter has been updated to be less hostile. Make sure you check for sets, bases, magic and rares. It's not recommended to use it without checking :) (fix all res on paladin shields, show light elite chests (0,3,4 os) 10+ed, show all eth chests (0,3,4 os) 5+ed) Thanks to WolfieeifloW.

Rinku's Loot Filter 	2020-11-11	Rinku#1352 	A basic filter that hides clutter and shows item info at a glance, not much customization, just some QOL :) Definitely not for everyone but I thought I'd share.
Some tools are available on the Guides and Links page that may be useful when editing filters.

=== FAQ ===
This section lists common issues and frequently asked questions about filters.
# Which is the best filter for me?
#* There isn't a "best" filter. Different filters are made for different reasons, and vary in terms of how strict they are with the items they show or notify, how much and what kind of extra information they provide, and how they alter the appearance of items. It's difficult to make recommendations without knowing what you're looking for in a filter and people may not be familiar with more than a few filters, so comparing filters yourself may be the best way to find a filter that suits you.
# What's the best way to compare different filters?
#* Filters usually include descriptions about how strict they are, what features they have, and how items are displayed. Some even include example images. If that isn't enough, FilterBird can be used to compare most items between filters one-at-a-time, and singleplayer can be used with an item pack and local filter so that the filter can be altered and reloaded in-game to compare any number of items.
# If I want to use a customized filter, how do I save my changes?
#* Put the customized filter into ProjectD2\filters\local and select it from "Local" in the launcher. Local filters won't be updated automatically, so if yours is based on a public filter, you may want to follow that filter in case any important changes are made to it.
# How do I turn off the filter or go back to original?
#* The filter can be turned off by disabling Enable Loot Filter in the in-game settings. To reset everything to default, close the game and launcher, delete the filters folder as well as default.filter and loot.filter in the ProjectD2 folder, and then relaunch the game.
# How do I use a filter with PlugY?
#* The same filter configuration you have for multiplayer will also be used for singleplayer. The filter configuration is updated when the game is opened from the launcher - select a filter from the launcher and press Play in order to update it. This also updates the filter itself if you're using a non-local version. Afterward, close the game/launcher and open the game with PlugY.
# Will a loot filter from older seasons work in the current season?
#* Unless the older filter was extremely simple, it will likely behave in unexpected and undesireable ways. Using an outdated filter is not recommended.
# My settings button is gone
#* Close the game & launcher, delete UI.ini, and then relaunch the game to return the settings button to its default position.
# My launcher shows no filters in the list
#* Close the launcher and re-open it. Repeat if they still don't show or if the server/GitHub is down. Also, try whitelisting the launcher and game in your antivirus and/or firewall.
# My launcher says "Coming Soon!" for item filters
#* You have an old version of the launcher. Download the new version from projectdiablo2.com after making backups of your your ddraw.ini and ProjectDiablo.cfg files. (they'll be overwritten with default settings)
# My filter isn't working
#* Make sure the in-game settings are setup correctly.
#* Use the launcher to select your filter. If you don't use the launcher, these may be common issues:
#** Having two PD2 installations and pasting your filter into the wrong one
#** Saving the filter file with the wrong name (e.g. default.filter.filter, default.txt, or default.filter.txt)
#** Having a PD2 installation inside of a Diablo II folder which is inside another Diablo II folder (folderception!)
#** Not saving and closing the filter file after pasting rules into it
# My filter is displaying strange characters for certain items
#* Certain special characters will only be displayed correctly if your filter file is encoded in ANSI rather than the default of UTF-8. Most text editors will allow the encoding to be modified - for example, Notepad++ includes "Encoding" as one of the primary menu options.
