Antnee's Classy Item Filter for Distinguished Exiles - 3.0

Antnee - why do you have quality >= 15 added for regal and chaos recipes? just to get fewer items? any quality works I think.. I see you don't have it on rings/belts/amulet so maybe theres something I'm missing

The reason is simple. Once you're actually at the level of farming for those sets of gear, everything but jewelry is plentiful. You really don't need every rare (or even every rare with quality) to be highlighted for you once you're running around in maps. You know that every set of boots that drops is chaosfodder, etc.

Setting the bar as high as I did also prevents you from getting fatigued from seeing borders all the time. The way it is now, if a rare is bright and shiny, you know it's special and worth the time to pick up. Personally, I have a tab set aside where I collect these high-quality rares for an extra chaos at the vendor!

I hope that makes sense. Of course, the section is only four blocks long, so shifting the quality down is no biggie if that's what you'd like to do.

Edit: Quality > 0 also prevents quivers from worming their way in.

ok thats sort of what I figured - just didn't know if it was something overlooked.

good point with quivers =)

I've changed some colors, added some borders I perfered but otherwise so far so good, can't wait to try it on Live.

Does this work in the regular poe client? When i go to the directory you mention i only see the awakening files not the regular poe ones.

Yep, what Davros said.

I am curious, though. Where IS your regular production_config? Are you a steam user?

Very nice lootfilter Antnee, I have a question though. Is it possible to make the filter show certain base types for chancing? Serpentine staves/judgement staves etc. regardless of item level?

Absolutely. Open your text editor, and do a search (ctrl+f) for this: ###000i

That will bring you to the dedicated section where you can add any item you wish for chancing. It looks like:

"

Show #Chance Items
Rarity = Normal
BaseType "Sacrificial Garb"
SetTextColor 180 180 180 #Normal "Junk"

Just add any items you wish after the "Sacrificial Garb". Remember to use spaces, quotes, and proper capitalization.

nice and clean


have you thought about high-ilvl- 4+ offcolor item highlighting ?
I know its a ton of lines for color-combos (like 0+4 or 1+3 or 2+2 or 3+1 or 4+0) for each item/group of interrest but it might save a ton of chromatics and troubble.

It would require a HUGE amount of code to make it work, at least in the current environment, with the current set of qualifiers. IF we had something like this...

"

Show
StatType Dex Str DexStr
Class Helmet Boot Glove
SocketColors BBBB

...then I could do it easily, in just a few blocks, with very brief verbiage. As it stands now, you would need to list every possible base item that you wish to scrutinize, then duplicate those blocks for each socket group (that's really what makes this difficult. SocketGroup assumes that the sockets are LINKED).

There are 3 classes of items with two possible offcolors each. There are also 3 (hybrid) item classes with one offcolor each. So, this is the basic list of those items by requirement, and by their possible offcolors:

Requirement---OffColors
DEX-----------B R
DEXSTR--------B
STR-----------B G
STRINT--------G
INT-----------G R
INTDEX--------R

That means we have 9 possible "offcolor" groups. Let's assume that we only care about boots, helms, and gloves... for the moment. For each offcolor group, we could say that only all four sockets being offcolor are acceptable. Sounds easy enough, right? Just 9 sets. Except... SocketGroup. We have to write an entirely new block for each possible combination within that set. For example, within the DEX group, we would need to check for...


...and I'm pretty sure I'm leaving out a few combinations of just red and blue alone. If you wanted to check for even one green socket in the mix (meaning, three off-color) then that list gets even longer. By a lot.

That's just one class of items.

For each one of those combinations, you would need to write a block listing each item basetype you want to check. If you take a look at "One filter to rule them all", you can see just how massive that one of these blocks can be.

...and we haven't even touched the other 8 item classes. And we haven't even looked at body armor or two handed weapons.

TL;DR, this would take millions upon millions of words to accomplish. At the moment, it's just not doable.

Challenge accepted ;)
