# Shotta
[](https://github.com/martinbjeldbak/shotta/actions/workflows/release.yml)
[](https://github.com/martinbjeldbak/shotta/actions/workflows/lint.yml)
(_screen_)-shotta, mate. Automatically take screenshots of moments within
Azeroth so you can cherish them forever.
## Shotta Discord
Head over to our [Shotta Discord server](https://discord.gg/MHqGRpZxbB)!
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`

### 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
- [x] [Timer](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API_C_Timer.After) after ie 10s after readcheck
- [x] Add slash command to open up options (if possible?)
- [x] ~~Consider using [AceDB](https://www.wowace.com/projects/ace3)~~ too complicated, extra dependency
- [ ] Make event success printing an option. Currently always printing to chat
- [x] 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](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ace3)
### Event ideas
not sure if any of these are possible
- [x] Boss/Rare/elite kills
- [x] Every 5/10 minutes
- [x] On death
- [ ] When joining a party (with a friend)
- [ ] When close to a friend
- [ ] When emoting with a friend/target
- [x] When emoting at all
- [ ] Low health
- [x] Trade windows
- [ ] More customizable every x minutes with [slider](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API_Slider_SetStepsPerPage)
- [ ] Reputation level ups ([event](https://github.com/AtheneGenesis/Vanilla_enUS_FrameXML/blob/master/GlobalStrings.lua#L1944))
- [ ] PvP: Arena endings
- [ ] PvP: Battleground endings
- [ ] PvE: Mythic+ dungion runs
