I am using this filter but see very few items left out. What am I missing by not picking up all these white items that your filter leaves in view?

I guess I do not understand the concept of why some of the items still show up as they look rather useless to me.

Any pointers on what I am missing here?

Thanks

Really, not much. But some people like seeing a lot of items, and there are a ton of vendor recipes.

My philosophy is that I want you, the user, to remove things that you don't want to see. The main reason is that above all else, I want to be able to say "no, you won't miss anything of any conceivable value". You'll also feel much more comfortable with the filter, because you know exactly what you're hiding.

Please grab a copy of Filtration, or Loot Wizard (linked in the OP). From there, you can uncheck everything you don't want to see. Both are very nice tools to have for any filter, but I specifically designed mine to work with them as a frontend.

These are my personal settings; basically all white and blue items are hidden (except jewels, 6links, 6 sockets, you know, interesting stuff). Please note that there are more specific settings if you expand each catagory.

Gunna just post that I use this filter, because it is the best one around - no ugly colors, useless sounds and overall closest-to-original as it can be.

Also, I need to make some positive feedback, because my Karma haunts me. :-<<

Sorry, I'm kinda noobish. If I want "Carnal Armour" to show up, how do I do that in the script? Both normal, magic and rare items. Hope someone will help me. :-)

Well, you could pop this at the very top:

Show
BaseType "Carnal Armour"

That will use the game's default text/color, of course. Just add lines to the end of that block if you want a border or something fancy.

So, this marks the only time I have parted with GGG on a default color for items. I wasn't happy with labyrinth items looking like currency; I think it's an odd decision on their part. My feeling is that they should have been treated as quest items, as they have no use outside of the lab they spawn in. So, I added a block in the currency section for labyrinth items, and gave them the bright green quest item color.

I asked myself the same question and first checked what you did. And as always, you delivered. Went the same way.

Also, loved the april fools thing, especially all the answers you got :) In particular this one by j33bus, for obvious reasons :-)

ACIFFDE!

Thanks man, that means a lot to me!

I've been tinkering with some aspects of the script, and have made a few changes based on feedback.

v2.0

* Added "The Immortal" to the list of rare/valuable Div cards

* Added a new Div card block for very common cards. These cards will still use the slightly bigger font that I use for Div cards, but without the loud drop sound. "The Scholar" and "The Carrion Crow" are the only two that I have added by default; I leave it up to you to add whatever you want to this block. All other Div cards will be displayed in the same manner I have always used.

* Added a rudimentary section for high-level crafting bases. The blocks are located at the top of section 010f. It is intentionally vague, because everyone has different needs. Please adjust this as you see fit (or ask me if you have something specific you'd like to add that you're not sure how to do). By default, the font is the same, but the items have a red border.

* Modified the blocks that handle Warbands items. As before, these blocks are disabled by default; you'll need to uncomment (delete the # in front of every line) or enable them in Filtration. There is a block for each item type now, and each has a corresponding color border. The items are hidden by default, so when you press the Highlight key, they will appear with the corresponding color border.

* Changed the handling of Obsolete Item Exceptions for Linked Sockets. You will now only see an exception if it's a piece of armor/helm/boot/gloves while you're leveling. Weapons no longer fall under this catagory.

* Added Regrets to the same block as Chaos orbs


As always, thanks for your interest. Feedback is always welcome!

Hi!

Is there a list of recipes you can do with this filter?
I ask because I still see a lot of items I did not want to see. And before hiding them, I want to make sure that I should really not be interested in these items :)

Well, there are a fuckton of recipes in the game. The only true recipe item I show specifically by default are chisel hammers.

I'd recommend you take a look through this. Really, though, if you uncheck all the "gear" boxes, you're not missing anything valuable.

v2.1 - Prophecy update

Added a new block for Prophecy items, including the Silver Coin and Prophecy (In case you drop it by accident!) I chose the green quest item color, because there's only one per zone. They also will share the Div card drop sound. There are Filtration tags, so changing the color/style is easy.

Added "Emperor of Purity" to the list of valuable/rare Div cards. All other Div cards will still be shown using my standard font and drop sound.

Please note that this update will not work until the Prophecy League actually begins. Feel free to grab it, but attempting to use it will give you an error.

Have fun!

Thanks Antnee for you great filter, i haven't not update my local version of your filter since 2015 and not having problem with new item when i replay on Flashback league, very happy to see the new flask i don't see this summer ( Sulphur flask for example) , no problem with Perandus coins.
