Multishot (Screenshot) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.1.1

by: dlui, Dridzt, emelio

Multishot is a tiny addon that automatically takes screenshots of memorable events in your World of Warcraft career. It's a photo diary of everything you come across in Azeroth, Outland and Northend.

Features & screenshot possibilities

level-ups and guild level-ups
achievements and guild achievements
challenge mode medals
battleground and arena victories
reputation changes
trade window transactions
any rare/rare-elite mob kills
timeline; take a screenshot every x minutes (configurable)
keybind; take a custom screenshot on demand

And most of all: boss killshots in dungeons and raids. Inbuilt database contains most if not all bosses ingame. Pew pew!

How to use
Just play as usual and Multishot will be waiting. By the way: you can take screenshots any time you like by pressing the PRINT key. Captures will most likely be located in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Screenshots.

Configuration
via Interface > Addons > Multishot or type /multishot into the chat window.

Updates
You will have to update Multishot every once in a while. Blizzard constantly adds, removes or updates mobs. Multishot would not be aware of these changes otherwise.

Troubleshooting
Multishot might not work as expected after new content patch has been released: every now and then "false positives" will sneak into the database. Those can easily be spotted in debug mode. Please drop me a line so that I can blacklist them as soon as possible.

Localization
Multishot works on all locales and supports localization. Please submit a translated copy of the "/Locales/Locale-enUS.lua" file if your language is not included yet. Thanks!

Development
Check out the official Multishot Thread on WoW Interface for bug reports and feature requests. You are likely to get a faster reply if you include a dancing banana in your post.

Thanks
Anyone who has contributed to Multishot: I really appreciate your help! Thanks for improving Multishot by adding new features to the source code, reporting & fixing bugs, and so on. Keep it up!

Curiously, though, when using "Alt-Z" to hide the interface, it hides everything completely. I figured that's what this addon would utilize?

The addon hides (in reality briefly fades out completely) everything that is parented to UIParent.
With very few functional exceptions everything an addon makes should be parented to UIParent or one of its children and those will hide properly.

MultiShot does not work the same way as Alt-z as that operation is implicitly protected.
It would produce taint related errors in a number of situations so it is off-limits to addons.
I will see what I can do about the minimap though.

If the issue comes back I'll let you know.

Well if deleting the WTF 'fixed' it that makes me suspect a console variable that you had changed from Blizzard defaults.

Did you by any chance have taint logging enabled prior to your deleting wtf? (/console taintLog 1)

There's all kinds of weird and hard to debug breakage happening to addons when taint logging is enabled in the current wow build (16057 for future reference if it's fixed) because Blizz has broken that diagnostic system.

One of the new feature additions in 3.0.7 is ability to bind a key to "Custom Screenshot" under the usual game key-bindings.

This will take a screenshot with current Multishot options on demand.

I should say that I'm still waiting for my MoP copy (ordered a physical box) so... I haven't actually tested it since 25th (but it was working fine on MoP beta and before the 25th... it's spooky

)

Edit:
Do you have and error-catching addon (like Swatter or BugSack/BugGrabber) or "Show Lua errors" ticked under the default game options? (Help section)
Maybe there is an actual error that prevents the watermark from hiding but you're not seeing it?

I can't figure out how that is possible...
I have tested it (obviously) but also looking at my code I hide the watermark frame both on a successful screenshot as well as a failed one (disk full, wow doesn't have permission to write the file or whatever reason) so you don't get a stuck watermark.

I'll need your help with more details if I'm going to have a chance to find the cause:
- WoW language and version. (eg. enUS 5.0.5 Live)
- Operating system (eg. Windows7 64bit, MacOS, etc)
- Exact MultiShot version (eg. 3.0.7)

What's also curious is that the most recent version has nearly 3k d/l on curse alone and the watermark option is enabled by default,
yet I've had no ticket or comment about it getting stuck, so there must be some edge case at work here.

I didn't have the problem before MOP went live, but for the last few days its been happening.

I'm Running WoW enUS 5.0.5 Live
Windows7 64bit
Multishot version 3.0.7

I've just deleted my WTF folder and will start wish a fresh config, I was gonna say that I'd try and screenshot when it happens but, duh!
The addon does that for me

Is there a way to force a screenshot so I can test it with my other addons to check for compatibility issues?

I don't pvp, but I could get in a bg to test the relevant events I guess.

What's with the mad face btw.
