'''1.''' Download an existing sound pack and extract the "data" folder within it, into your Path of Diablo folder (found inside your Diablo II installation folder) [https://i.imgur.com/D9LvkIC.png See picture]
Loot filters can now play sounds when items drop. If your loot filter supports a sound pack, then you may download the accompanying zip file and extract the files into your Filter folder (located in your Path of Diablo Installation folder). See [[List of Loot Filters]] to download filters and their sounds (if any).


'''2.''' In the PoD Launcher enable the "Advanced" checkbox and then the "-direct" checkbox. [https://i.imgur.com/Z3UL9Ye.png See picture]
Note: Sound packs do not work on their own. They require a filter that has a sound trigger in it.


'''3.''' If you don't need one of the sounds, just delete it from the "item" folder and the sound will change back to the original. [https://imgur.com/a/guc0kH1 See picture]
== How to create custom SFX ==
 
Download Audacity and set the project to 22k hertz (bottom left).
 
Export files as 16 bit .wav
 
Place the file in the following folder structure: (wherever Diablo II is installed)/Path of Diablo/filter
 
(Only 16-bit .wav @ 22050 Hz are supported)
 
The file can then be played via a loot filter. The code to play a sound should look like:
 
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
|-
| Sound[FANCY_SOUND]: "myfilter\filename"
|-
| ItemDisplay[MAP]: %NAME%%NOTIFYSOUND(FANCY_SOUND)%
|}
''(dont include the file extention (.wav) in the filter code)''
 
== Legacy Sound Packs ==
 
Below is a list of old sound packs. They use to work by replacing the original game files. Nowadays, filters can be programmed to play sounds found in your Filter folder. The links to the old packs are still here so that anyone needing wav files for their filter can get them from here. Soon these links will be removed as filter creators start to support the new method.  


== Sound Packs ==
<span style="color: #c88c2d">These are NOT compatible with PoD any longer. They are just here so loot filter creators can download .wav files from them. Players should not attempt to install these deprecated sound packs.</span> Players should download sounds at [[List of Loot Filters]] with the accompanying loot filter.
