To install manually, download a filter file and save it to Diablo II\ProjectD2\filters\local and then select it from the launcher. These files will function if encoded in UTF-8 (default), but ANSI encoding is needed to allow special characters to display properly.įilters can be selected from the launcher and enabled via the in-game Settings menu. If a filter is selected from the launcher, it will be saved in ProjectD2\filters and be used instead via a loot.filter system link from the ProjectD2 directory.

If loot.filter is present in the same directory, it will be used instead of the default file. The default filter only has a few simple rules for adding descriptions to some items (map orbs and stackable gems/runes), and otherwise displays all items the same as they would be in vanilla.īy default, filtering is done using default.filter in the ProjectD2 directory - unless changed, it only has a few simple rules. Item filters (often called lootfilters) are text files which contain rules for describing how items should be displayed in-game.
