Multishot (Screenshot)   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Multishot is a tiny addon that automatically takes screenshots on bosskills, levelups, achievements, reputation changes and so on. Currently dungeons and raids up to Patch 3.3 are supported. Multishot is not translated (yet) but works on all locales.

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

Check out the official Multishot Thread on WoWInterface for bug reports and feature requests . Turn on "debug mode" if necessary. Please post on the comments page to keep this addon updated and mark it as a favorite.

New: Multishot now supports taking screenshots of rare mob kills (thanks to a friend).

Help: I'm looking for screenshots taken by Multishot to add them as sample to the description. Do you have a decent picture to share - maybe raiding Icecrown or a rare achievement - please write me a message.

Food for thought

This is a very nice mod. I have used it for some time now. Since I am constantly looking for stuff I found Scrapbook by Ne0nguy. You guys should talk. I would love to see the text from his mod put into your functionality!

Problem with Multishot r34 in WoW 3.3 (using with the latest LibBossIDs-1.0 r36 from Dec. 9/09).

Its consistently taking screenshots of certain trash mob deaths in the new Pit of Saron 5-man instance. Specifically: Ymirjar Flamebearers, Ymirjar Flamebearers and/or Ymirjar Wrathbringers.

No, its not connected to any reputation level gains or anything else. Have yet kill the first mob group up the path after the Krick & Ick boss without it taking an unwanted screenshot.

<snip> Any ideas why this might be happening?
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?

Trash mobs like Guardian of Yogg-Saron are identified as boss (false positive) and therefore a screenshot was taken.

I've uploaded a fix for that.

But of course I'm not aware of every false positive in LibBossIDs. So whenever again a screenshot of a trash mob is taken please drop me a line.

Concerning multi-boss encounters: you should get at least one relevant screenshot (the actual killshot). You might get additional screenshots if you're dead (nothing random, only screenshots of actual (mini)bosskills). I think we can live with that.

Thanks for your help, Dridzt!

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..)

Hang in guys , let's track that one down:

Multishot will take a screenshot whenever a boss mob is killed. If - in that very moment - you are...
  • ... alive: the screenshot will be taken on leaving combat (exactly like Dridzt said). "The boss is down but you're still infight finishing his adds off."

  • ... dead: the screenshot is taken instantly (delay applies). "Even if your party members are still infight killing adds."

Edit: On rare occasions trash mobs would be identified as bosses (and there for a screenshot was taken). Thats what bubblebop might have been talking about. I've uploaded a fix.

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!
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.

Thanks,

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.
