Diablo II: Resurrected Loot Tooltip Reader

D2R Loot Reader

A Python library for parsing Diablo II: Resurrected item tooltips into structured JSON data.

D2R Loot Reader is a technical tool designed for developers, modders, and enthusiasts building applications for the Diablo II: Resurrected community. It uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and fuzzy string matching to convert in-game item tooltips into machine-readable JSON format.

🎯 Use Cases

• Loot Tracking Applications: Build tools to track valuable drops and analyze loot statistics
• Trading Platforms: Create automated item cataloging for trading websites
• Game Enhancement Tools: Develop overlays or assistants that provide item information
• Data Analysis: Extract item data for statistical analysis and game research

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Tesseract OCR: Install from official Tesseract site

Installation

pip install d2rlootreader

Basic Usage

from d2rlootreader.item_parser import ItemParser

# Parse tooltip text lines into structured JSON
lines = [
    "Rare Ring",
    "Required Level: 15", 
    "+25 to Life",
    "+15% Faster Cast Rate"
]

parser = ItemParser(lines)
item_data = parser.parse_item_lines_to_json()
print(item_data)

CLI Commands

# Interactive screen capture and OCR parsing
d2rlootreader capture

📊 Output Format

The parser produces structured JSON following this schema:

{
  "quality": "Unique|Set|Rare|Magic|Runeword|Base",
  "name": "Fortitude",
  "base": "Great Hauberk",
  "slot": "Body",
  "tier": "Elite",
  "requirements": {"strength": 118, "level": 59},
  "stats": {"defense": [1596]},
  "affixes": [
    ["#% Chance to cast level # [Skill] when struck", [20, 15, "Chilling Armor"]],
    ["+#% Faster Cast Rate", [25]],
    ["+#% Enhanced Damage", [300]],
    ["+#% Enhanced Defense", [215]],
    ["+# Defense", [15]],
    ["+# to Life (Based on Character Level)", [101]],
    ["Replenish Life +#", [7]],
    ["+#% to Maximum Lightning Resist", [5]],
    ["All Resistances +#", [29]],
    ["Damage Reduced by #", [7]],
    ["+#% Damage Taken Goes To Mana", [12]],
    ["+# to Light Radius", [1]],
    ["Increase Maximum Durability #%", [13]],
    ["Socketed (#)", [4]]
  ],
  "tooltip": ["Fortitude", "Great Hauberk", "'ElSolDolLo'", "Defense: 1596", ...]
}

🔧 Technical Architecture

Core Components

• OCR Engine: Custom-trained Tesseract model optimized for D2R fonts
• Fuzzy Matching: RapidFuzz-powered intelligent text matching with typo tolerance
• Image Processing: OpenCV-based preprocessing for optimal OCR accuracy
• Data Repository: Comprehensive JSON databases of all D2R items, affixes, and skills

Repository Files

The library includes extensive game data mappings:

• affixes.json - All possible item modifiers and their templates
• bases.json - Base item types with slots and tiers
• uniques.json, set.json, runewords.json - Named item databases
• magic.json, rares.json - Prefix/suffix combinations
• skills.json, classes.json - Character abilities and class restrictions
• requirements.json, stats.json - Item requirements and base statistics

Intelligent Parsing Features

• Template Matching: Supports complex affix patterns like "+# to # [Skill] ([Class] Only)"
• OCR Error Correction: Handles common misreads (0→O, 1→l, 5→S, etc.)
• Context-Aware Classification: Distinguishes between item types using multiple signals
• Fuzzy Thresholds: Configurable matching sensitivity for various game data types

📸 Image Requirements

For optimal results, captured tooltip images should:

• Start with item name as the first line (crop out shop prices/vendor info)
• Have clear, unobstructed text
• Include the complete tooltip from name to last affix
• Use game's default UI scaling when possible

See example tooltip images in the tests/tooltips/ directory.

🛠️ Advanced Usage

Custom OCR Configuration

from d2rlootreader.screen import capture_screen, preprocess
from d2rlootreader.item_parser import ItemParser
import pytesseract

# Capture and process with custom settings
image = capture_screen()
processed = preprocess(image, mode="adaptive")

# Extract text with custom OCR config
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(processed, lang="d2r", config="--psm 6")
lines = [line.strip() for line in text.splitlines() if line.strip()]

# Parse with debugging
parser = ItemParser(lines)
result = parser.parse_item_lines_to_json()

Interactive Region Selection

from d2rlootreader.region_selector import select_region

# Full-screen overlay for precise tooltip selection
selected_image = select_region()

Batch Processing

import glob
from pathlib import Path

# Process multiple tooltip images
for image_path in glob.glob("tooltips/*.png"):
    # Your processing logic here
    pass

⚠️ Current Limitations

This is an early-stage tool with known limitations:

• Special Characters: Some Unicode symbols may not parse correctly
• Font Variations: Works best with default game UI settings

Contributions and bug reports are welcome to improve parsing accuracy.
