Sayya's Item Filter (version 2.81) - updated for Ritual!

Don't want to miss important loot, but also don't want to make your eyes bleed?

Look no further! (GitHub link)

Based entirely on colors that already exist within the game (drop colors, item affix colors, and premium tab colors), this filter is designed to: highlight items you'll most likely want to pickup in a manner consistent with default coloring; shrink items that are possibly of interest but not commonly picked up; and hide pure clutter (small life flasks in Cruel, ilvl 73 Vine Circlets, and so forth). In addition, there is a version of the filter that does not hide any items (instead shrinking those the default filter would hide to cut down on clutter) for people who prefer to still see all items.

For those of you who use Filtration, the github repo also has the theme from my filter; however, since I leave many items' text color alone, if you really really want your exalts to be all fuchsia you'll have to edit the script itself in Filtration, not just the theme.

Most of the screenshots are quite out of date at this point, though the overall look and feel of the filter has not substantially changed since then. I will work on getting new screenshots and video up during Legacy league to show the changes of the last few leagues.

Many thanks to:

I'm trying this one.

Excellent work.

Played a couple maps with it. Here's my feedback:

The yellow bordering on chaos-stuff is well done, but still a touch too bright for my taste. I see it a lot, also. I would suggest leaving it as-is for jewelry, and adding a touch of transparency to other chaos items' borders that don't have a significant amount of quality. Like, just a touch- no more than 10-15 pts should do it.

The bordering on flasks could be enhanced a bit by shifting the red/blue just a little bit (again, just a touch) in the appropriate direction for life/mana flasks. It would be cool to see them alone in the field and think "purple", but having them drop next to each other and seeing the difference.

I like the tiers of font size/transparency. But, when I press the highlight key, completely hidden items still have their regular font, and that feels a bit off. I think darkening would be a good way to go in your case.

The shrinking, but showing, of certain items is neat. I think the actual size could be increased a bit, though, as I did struggle to read some of them. I have terrible eyesight, so take that with a grain of salt and only change it if enough people agree.

Overall its very good, and I can see myself playing a with it.

I'm a loot-whore, so I dun know how much use it'd be for me and Rhio, but it looks good. Nice work! =^[.]^=

Thanks guys! Lemme know if you find anything you'd change, Morgoth. :)

That's an interesting proposition, I'll test it out. I definitely don't want to drop the border completely, but I was having a bit of trouble figuring out how to be consistent but avoid "borders for EVERYTHING!"

This I very much like. Will play with a bit.

Good point. I never press the highlight key, so I'd forgotten it does that. XD This'll be added for sure in the next couple of days. Thanks again for your insights!

Oh, one more thing. If you're going to use my highlighting technique for RGB stuff, you should change the background to use full opacity.

The reason being: text brightness is extremely effective in dark, dungeony areas, but far less effective in bright areas because of the innate, slight translucency of how the game renders nameplates. Changing the background to 255 makes the difference in text brightness really pop.

I've thought about this, and it's something I might try....we'll see. Aside from near-total dimming, I really dislike changes to item backgrounds. Just changing the alpha might be all right, I'll test it out a bit.

Updated with the new Maraketh weapon bases and dimming of hidden items when the highlight key is pressed to reduce clutter. Also currently working on a filter designed for racing.

Thank you for the update!
My favourite among the filters I´ve tested.
