Shotta overview

Shotta Discord

Head over to our Shotta Discord server! Come share your best screenshots, tell us about your suggestions, or just chat!

Features

Ever wished you had more pictures of your adventures throughout Azeroth and beyond? Look no further!

Shotta will automatically take screenshots

  • at regular intervals
  • at specific events
  • when you're alone
  • when you're with your friends
  • when you down a boss
  • and much more!

It runs with zero dependencies and minimal code. I'm always adding new events as I come up with them and would love your feedback for what you'd like to see.

Screenshots will be saved to the local folders below, depending on operating system and version of World of Warcraft you are playing.

On Windows (assuming WoW is installed to C drive):

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Screenshots
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Screenshots

On macOS:

  • \World of Warcraft\_retail_\Screenshots
  • \World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Screenshots

Contributing

First of all, thanks for helping contribute! There are many ways you can help contribute

If you wish to run this addon locally, I highly recommend setting up a symlink to the cloned repository directory following the guide here: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Symlinking_AddOn_folders, this will make it so that you only need to reload the UI with /reload to see your changes.

TODO

  • Ability to hide/show minimap icon
  • Ability to take 2 screenshots for every event: 1 with UI, 1 without
  • Setting to take screenshots with or without UI
  • More translation strings, see localization.core.lua
  • UI Button: Reset state to default
  • Settings are global: make profile or chracter-specific bindings
  • Timer after ie 10s after readcheck
  • Add slash command to open up options (if possible?)
  • Consider using AceDB too complicated, extra dependency
  • Make event success printing an option. Currently always printing to chat
  • Create a better options frame - Could be 2 columns of events in case of too many events
  • If simpler: Implement the settings UI (+ more) using Ace3

Event ideas

not sure if any of these are possible

  • Boss/Rare/elite kills
  • Every 5/10 minutes
  • On death
  • When joining a party (with a friend)
  • When close to a friend
  • When emoting with a friend/target
  • When emoting at all
  • Low health
  • Trade windows
  • More customizable every x minutes with slider
  • Reputation level ups (event)
  • PvP: Arena endings
  • PvP: Battleground endings
  • PvE: Mythic+ dungion runs
