(screen)-shotta, mate. Automatically take screenshots of moments within Azeroth so you can cherish them forever.
Important
This has only been tested in WoW Classic, but it should work in all client versions
Head over to our Shotta Discord server! Come share your best screenshots, tell us about your suggestions, or just chat!
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_\ScreenshotsC:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Screenshots
On MacOS:
\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Screenshots\World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Screenshots

First of all, thanks for helping contribute! There are many ways you can help contribute
- filing feature request, bugs, or general issues using https://github.com/martinbjeldbak/shotta/issues/new
- code contributions
- translation strings for each supported language
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
/reloadto see your changes.
- 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 AceDBtoo 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
not sure if any of these are possible
