I went through my screenshots folder going several weeks back.

Unfortunately there's 2 problems.
1. I don't die too often so sample size is small.
2. I found a few "false positives" but all of them fall under the multi-boss scenario.
- Faction Champions (few times)
- Kologarn (his Arms are classed as bosses and "die" several times in the fight)
- Icehowl (part of Beasts of Northrend encounter, looks like a single boss but there is no combat exit between phases and you have already killed Gormok + Twin Jormungar)
- Twin Jormungar (see above)

That's about it.. can you upload some false positives to a free host and post or PM links?

Thanks for the replies. However let me explain further..

I don't know about other users of this addon, but for me, it has nothing to do with there being mobs, or trash mobs, or multiple bosses in one encounter, etc....

Every time I die while the boss encounter is going on, no matter the means of death, Multishot initiates its "delay" and then takes a screenshot. Like Dridzt said, it probably has to do with me leaving combat, as I don't see any other reason the addon would be doing this. This happens even on single-mob boss encounters, and even if I die 5 seconds into going into combat with the boss. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Ok I gave it some thought I think I know what's happening.

It probably has to do with multi-boss encounters.

As an example the Faction Champions in ToCR.
When one of those "bosses" dies the addon based on its guid will assume that it's time to take a screenshot.
Now if "you" are alive and the fight continues it will not.
Instead it will wait for combat end (even if that happens 5min down the road)
which will coincide with the actual "boss kill": All Champions cleared.

If on the other hand you are dead, it will take the screenshot there and then while fight is far from over.

I'm guessing this happens in all multi-boss encounters and is the root of the confusion.

Only "simple" way around it I can see is to make the combat status check party/raid wide by checking
party1-4, raidx-y through UnitAffectingCombat("unit") before taking the shot.
It might still photograph a wipe but there's more chances it will be a relevant screenshot.
Other way would be rather more involved and I'm not sure addon would benefit
from complicating things so much.
(have special code for detecting multi-boss encounter completion: Faction Champions, Iron Council, 4 Horsemen etc..)

Without having looked at the code I'm guessing that it might be taking a screenshot when the player exits combat (PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED).
Unfortunately dying fires that event as well.
If that's the case an extra check that UnitIsDeadOrGhost("player") is not true would fix it.

Hey there. Great addon, I love it, and thanks for keeping it updated.

I don't get any reported errors with Multishot, but I'm having an issue with it. It seems that every time I die during a boss fight, Multishot takes a screenshot. It's becoming very annoying, because I have tons of screenshots of every one of my deaths and I have to go back through and delete them all.

Otherwise, the addon works fine and takes screenshots when it is supposed to (acheivements, boss deaths, etc.). I would love to see this fixed in the future, thanks!

Hi,
Would it be possible to add the option to have a screenshot after a Reputation level-up?

Thanks,
BJR

I don't seem able to download it at the moment. witch is a shame.

hi

is it possible to modify multishot, so it will take a screenshot after i have finished an arena match?

greetings

This isn't needed. Multishot uses the LibBossIDs-1.0 library to recognize bosses, which is kept up to date through patches.

Just download the latest version of LibBossIDs-1.0 ("r22" as of Jul 27/09) and install it like a regular UI mod to your \Addons folder. Now Multishot (and other mods using that library) will recognize Ulduar (and upcoming patch 3.2) bosses without issue.

Or if you are more skilled at handling mods, you can just replace the LibBossIDs-1.0.lua file in the \Multishot\LibBossIDs\ folder with the latest one from the links provided above.

Would it be possible to apply the delay to boss kills too?
I've played with it, but it still insta-snaps the picture on boss kill, and using BossEncounter 2 normally I have the first 3-4 giant letters of COMPLETE and lens flare blocking the screen.

And a banana.

It would be really nice to have this option in configuration menu.

Hit escape, select interface settings, addons-tab and select this addon and there you can set some delay.
