This tool uses FilterBlast API to check version of your favourite filter(s) and auto-update filter files on your PC if there is new version - or optionally only notify you about updates. It also can be used as filter installer, since it creates unexisting filter files on first run.
All you need to do - is just to configure it once and run. The script checks for update each hour. Each check gets info within ~100 bytes of data, so it's just a ~2 Kb/day.
The tool comes as source code in ".ahk" file, which can be executed using popular AutoHotKey program. If you don't have AutoHotKey installed - you can download it from official site.
It's recommended to get script via Configuration UI below, but you also may Download FilterNova for manual configuration (via Notepad-like editors).
More info about how this tool works and what features it has are available at PoE forum thread. You're also welcome to post your feedback there!
Get FilterNova script via Configuration UI:
Tooltip Mode - when you play PoE tooltips will be displayed (at the right side of the screen) instead of notification window.
Select filter(s):
Notify Only - you can turn this on if you want to be informed about new updates, but would like to update your filter files manually -
in this case you don't need to set up any other options below.
(optional) You can specify customization hash key to apply your customization into new versions of the filter (currently only FilterBlast customization supported, also saves in Advanced mode are not compatible, since they store manual code changes) If you use hash key - you don't need to set up preset/theme options below. The hash key is last part of the saved link (before the slash), for example it looks like: "wp31nrf".
Specify presets you'd like to use:
Select desired color theme:
Select desired sound theme:
Select desired sound theme:
Specify desired filter file name, which you want to auto-update.
If you checked few presets above - preset name will be added to the end of file name. If file doesn't exist - it will be created on initial update - but don't forget to select it in the game's options!
