Multishot
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
- reputation changes
- challenge mode medals
- battleground and arena wins
- trade window transactions
- garrison building completion
- any rare/rare-elite mob kills
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 help translating if you can. Thanks!

Thanks
Anyone who has contributed: 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 going!
Anyone can suggest any alternative to this please? Doesn't look like its ever getting updated.

You can try this:
I've had your addon installed for a long time but it never seems to actually take any screenshots. I can't configure it as it does not appear in the addon list and typing /multishot in the chat bar simply gets bemused puzzlement from the game. Is it worth trying any more or have you given up maintaining the addon? If it doesn't work there's not much point in having it installed.
After updating;
TakeScreenshot() With
Screenshot() in multishot.lua
Now i keep having this command in my chat window.
"Multishot: PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLEDXXXXX" the XXXXX is a number that increases by 1 each time it happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this
I landed up taking it out of my files. I have SOOOO MANY screenshots I am having to go through that the addon took of nothing.
Right now im using this aura I made for achievements, legendaries and leveling.

Can you do that for boss in raid down in any difficulty ?
In reply to juanjorogo:
Since 7.2, it's started taking screenshots every time I loot something. As you can imagine, that's a LOT of screenshots. Any advice?
It looks after patch 7.2 multishot is not working again. Any suggestions?
edit: at least not for achievements.
Hi there,
I have it set up to take photos with my name, level, zone, ETC.. on my screen. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I'd like it to show standard time (12 hour time frames) instead of military 24 hour time. Its to the default as $n($l) $c $b$z - $d$b$r
Thank you!
Can I suggest making it take a screenshot whenever a player loots a legendary item?
Anyone know to fix this to take screenshots at the end of M+? Seems the Challenge Mode API function the addon was using was deprecated.
In file Multishot.lua replace function:
function Multishot:CHALLENGE_MODE_COMPLETED(strEvent)
if not MultishotConfig.challengemode then return end
self:ScheduleTimer("CustomScreenshot", MultishotConfig.delay1, strEvent)
end
Dlui and Drizdt no longer play. However, Dlui was able to give me the following changes that make the addon work for Legion:
Replace
TakeScreenshot() With
Screenshot() in multishot.lua
Will this fix it taking random screenshots?
This has been suggested already many comments below, and while it makes the addon usable in general (i.e. does screenshots on achievements, first kills etc.), it still does take random screenshots and pastes some weird text to chat. Also the 'random' screenshots seem to be connected with "player regen enabled" text in chat, but I've no clue what this means.
Thank you!!!
