PocoLootFilter

Installation

Filter download

1. Locate your Project Diablo 2 folder. It is usually under your original Diablo 2 folder in a folder named ProjectD2.
2. (Optional) If you already configured a filter, back it up now by renaming/copying your filter. Your filter name would probably be loot.filter or default.filter.
3. To install a new filter, copy the filter to the ProjectD2 folder and name it loot.filter. Make sure you have no .txt at the end of the file name. Sometime windows hides it. If you have a .txt at the end of the file, it can and will cause your filter not to work.
4. If you have not already, to enable the loot filter, go inside of a game and then control+click the small settings button in the bottom left of your screen.
5. In the new window, you need to check the box next to Advanced item display anbd.

Additional informations

• If items happen to have bugged out names with weird characters, the issue is most probably that your default.filter is using the wrong text encoding (You need ANSI but the default often is UTF-8). If you have this issue, i recommend using the download link from above and then using ctrl+s to save the whole file, then replace the existing default.filter using the "Save as" window that pop up. Everyone that messaged me with this issue had used the copy-paste function to paste the text in the file which will keep the default UTF-8, which is not recommended for any lootfilter in Diablo 2.
• If you find any issues with the filter, you are welcome to either message me on discord at ElPocoBurrito#5641 or to create a pull request on github which i will merge as soon as i have free time.

I want to thank WolfieeifloW and Sawyer from the PD2 discord for their help understanding stuff. I also want to also thank WolfieeifloW, Bulleti (EuropeBattle.net) and Anirml for their work on their own filters which i snatched small parts of and analysed to better understand how to improve mine.
