I tried to figure the system out but i cant seem to add normal "Glorious Plate" to Greengrooves filter, i want it to show just like Sorcerer boots

You can add it in "Misc" tab (under preview area) - "Chance bases" is the first option. example

I'm happy to present you new filter-related solutions:

API for other developers, which provides list of actual filters, with extra info (like preset/themes), allows to check current version and get source code of latest version of desired filter (it also can apply previously saved customization).

Filter Auto-Updater tool (AHK script), which (using that API) checks version of your favourite filter and auto-updates it on your PC if there is new version. The script checks for updates each hour. All you need to do - is to configure it once.

The tool is simple and light-weighted. It doesn't use all API features and doesn't have user interface, but it does it's job. I will not have enough time to significantly improve it, while working on other projects. So I encourage other community developers to check out API - maybe someone would like to improve the script or make even better tool, which will allow, for example, to manage multiple customized variations of a filter and auto-switch them in-game via hotkeys :)

The tool is currently in beta - it has been tested only on few computers, so if you'll have any issues - let me know!

I'm happy to present you new version of Filter Auto-Updater tool - now under new name: FilterNova.

This tool uses FilterBlast API to check version of your favourite lootfilter(s) and auto-update filter files on your PC if there is new version.

The tool is light-weighted ahk-script and simple to use. All you need to do - is just to configure it once and run (manually or by adding to Windows' Startup/Autorun).

The script checks for update each hour. Each check gets info within ~50 bytes of data, so it's just a ~1 Kb/day (if there is no updates).

New features:

• Customization UI on tool's home page - no more editing in notepad - get what you want with a few clicks!
• Multiple presets and filters support - no limits and no troubles!
• New notification window on successful update - with option to open link (in your default browser) to the page with filter's update details. Don't miss important information and give a feedback to filter's author(s)!

I hope you find this tool useful and it will help to save your time, which you'd better spend in upcoming War for the Atlas :)


P.S. Important information for Filter's Authors:

• FilterBlast now supports new filter syntax (ElderItem, ShaperItem, ShapedMap). Item sets in preview will be updated with new items later today/tomorrow
• FilterBlast's autoupdate.config now may have new parameter: LinkToUpdateDetails [link]. It's used by FilterNova to ask a user if he want to check update details and visit this link. if this parameter is not defined, the tool will use ForumThread link instead.

FilterBLAST updated for War for the Atlas & Abyss league!

* Added support of new filter conditions: ElderItem, ShaperItem and ShapedMap. They also appear in tooltip text when hovering over an item in visual preview area.

* Updated itemsets in visual preview, including most important stuff: new Abyss League items, Elder and Shaper items examples, re-tiered maps and shaped maps in new format.

* Elder and Shaper items currently doesn't have own itemsets and not used in random loot generation modes, but will be added later after we'll see how they drop in the game.

* Some integrated filters are already updated for 3.1, but as usual most of them will be updated few hours before the new expansion's launch. Just check Last Update Date above visual preview area or in Extended List of Filters

* Right now filter selector on main page shows all filters updated for 3.0, but few hours before 3.1 launch i'll update version check to "3.1" and all outdated filters will be excluded from the selector.

That's all for now :) I wish you all lucky drops and lots of fun in War for the Atlas!

Very useful tool - especially since I can't be bothered to make Filtration work on Linux.

Hey there Dissolator,


Firstly huge thanks for filterBlast, it looks like an amazing tool. Also really appreciate that you can load different peoples filters. Not everyone uses NeverSinks filter.

This is the first time I'm trying to use it, so I don't know if I'm missing something obvious but where it says "FilterBlast supports SmartSounds and allows to customise them in Sound Theme Editor", where on earth is the Sound Theme Editor? I looked around on the site and couldn't see a tab or something to click so I assume I must edit the script at the bottom under the preview window? I looked at the script and was instantly lost lol.

So I tried looking into the updates to see if it had any additional information about when that aspect was introduced to FilterBlast, all I found was this "Added Sound theme editor. It supports SetSound command (recommended), but also can use PlayAlertSound comments as sound tags" I'm really quite lost about how to edit sounds.

I thought maybe I could click on customise then click on the item in the preview window but didn't do anything, yeah I'm lost lol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does not show all chromes or rares.. weird.. no big deal but this is only in newest update.

I've checked filter's code and you're missing chromatic recipes only on selected bases at specific levels (blocks customized to "Hide" in Chancing, Crafting and Chisel recipe sections). Yes, that's not a big deal, you still shall get plenty of chromatics.
Of course it could be better if Neversink would add "| Disable" to the end of comments of this blocks (so they would be commented, not set to Hide), i'll ask him if it's easy for him to do, keeping in mind he had lots of work on his own filter/tools.
Anyway, you always can customize Neversink's filter more precisely with FilterBlade (but those customizations doesn't work yet with FilterNova auto-updater)

I cant find where I have to enable that.. I just cant find it.

In 1st section: "Recipes, Magic and Normal items (endgame!)" open "83/84+ Endgame crafting rules" and "Chisel recipe items" sections and check blocks which are set to "Hide" (so they'll switch to "Show"). Note that this will show more items, which fall under those conditions (crafting/chisel recipe), some of them will be for chromatic recipe too (but highlight may differ). This is not ideal, but good alternative to completely hiding those specific items.


I'll also think about implementing option to force switch block state in UI, so in rare cases like yours there will be easy switch to Disable instead of Hide-only. Many other filters use "| Disable" syntax for this, but that's up to filter's author, so why not add optional workaround for users :)
