Loot Filtration

A Loot Filter is included in the QoL Feature set. By editing the "item.filter" file located in your Diablo II installation folder, you can create a set of rules which will change the way loot is displayed.

You can find loot filters made by other players and download instructions at List of Loot Filters.

Basics

Item Codes

All items in the game have an id code. Below are a few examples:

Code	Item
tsc	Scroll of Town Portal
rvs	Rejuvenation Potion
pk1	Key of Terror
cx5	Orb of Corruption

See more at List of Loot Filter Codes

If you would like to rename "Scroll of Town Portal" to a much shorter "TP" then you would type: ItemDisplay[tsc]: TP

You can also add more text to an item. If you want to remember which boss drops which uber key then you would type: ItemDisplay[pk1]: Key of Terror (Countess)

Color Codes

You can also change the color of the item name using color codes. Below are a few example colors:

Code	Color
%GREEN%
%DGREEN%
%GOLD%
%TAN%

See more at List of Loot Filter Codes

If you would like to change the color of the Horadric Cube to purple then you would type: ItemDisplay[box]: %PURPLE%Horadric Cube

You can also use multiple colors within a single item. For example if you want the word "Horadric" to be yellow and "Cube" to be purple you would type: ItemDisplay[box]: %YELLOW%Horadric %PURPLE%Cube

Value References

Sometimes you want to call upon a value in the game to show the player. Below are a few examples:

Code	Output
(%PRICE)	Selling price of the item
{%ILVL%}	Item level
-%SOCKETS%-	Show the item's socket count

If you want to show the selling price of an item using a dollar sign ($100) as a prefix you would type: ItemDisplay[gpm]: ($%PRICE%) Choking Gas Potion

The same thing can be done to show the item level (L99) as a suffix: ItemDisplay[cm3]: %NAME% {L%ILVL%}
