About SnapShot

SnapShot automatically remembers what items you are wearing, and can display a history of them later, from level 1 to level 60 and beyond.

Useful for when you want to give tips to low level guildies on what you were using when you were level 30, and of course also for boasting about your progression from humble beginnings with gray items to tier 3 purples!

Once you install it, the addon will automatically take a capture of your current equipment. It will again do so if you gain a level, or once a week for level 60 characters. You can view the stored history by using the minimap button.

    It's updated now, Curse probably took a while to authorize it because of all the updates going on.

    I really enjoy watching old character builds and gear and like seeing the progress on my toons that way.

    That makes me wonder if this wonderfull addon will be updated?

    VoyseyS, thanks for that, I fixed it in a new version I just made. Curse still needs to authorize the upload but it should show up soon.

    Riamus, your feature suggest would be technically possible - WoW allows multiple dressup dolls to be displayed - but I don't want to let the addon grow too much, I'd rather keep it small so it doesn't use a lot of memory and doesn't slow down people's game.

    Sounds good. It was just a thought anyhow. I'm downloading now to see if the issues with it taking snapshots are all fixed. If I find any issues, I'll post back.

    Ok, there is one minor bug that I've noticed. Every now and then, when I "scroll" through the snapshots, one or more items won't show up in the snapshot. If I go to another one and come back, they show up. Maybe it's not loading fast enough or something, I'm not sure. The data is definitely there because it can show up most of the time, but just doesn't once in awhile.

    I just installed this on 4.0.3 and am getting that nil value error when I first open Snapshot. Also, if I level up, then look at the snapshot that was automatically taken, it doesn't have the level, date, time, etc stored. It just says x. If I manually take a snapshot, it works fine. It's also either taking a LOT of snapshots or else the paging (forward/backward) isn't working right. When "scrolling" through the pictures, it sometimes stays on the same level for 3 or 4 times. It does seem to have that many pictures because some show changes in equipment that happened during the level. However, the dates and times don't change, which doesn't make sense. Perhaps it's triggering the snapshot when anyone around me or in my group levels as well? It just seems like this has various bugs that need to be sorted out for 4.0.3.

    I got it thinking that the one snapshot per level thing would be perfect when I start out a goblin and worgen with Cataclysm, but having it take many per level just isn't helpful. If it is meant to automatically take more than one per level, then please have it be optional. Once per level is all I want to see unless I choose to manually take a snapshot. If this can be fixed before we can start using the goblin and worgen races, that would be great. Thanks!

    One other thing... the screenshot on this site shows multiple images in one shot. I'm guessing you just took multiple screenshots and merged them into one just to show how it tracks the different levels. However, it would really be interesting in the game to be able to pull up multiple images at once similar to the screenshot here to make it easy to see the changes. If it could optionally pull up 6 (3x2) snapshots and let us adjust the levels displayed for each of them, that would be an interesting view of our progression. Just a thought.

    Just picked up this error when flicking through the Shots.
    I am using 4.0.2

    SnapShot\\SnapShot.lua:623: attempt to concatenate field 'level' (a nil value)
    SnapShot\\SnapShot.lua:667: in function

    Locals:
    SnapShot_current = 50

    I have found the fix.

    The problem is that Arg values are not sent through unless you use a

    local arg1 = ...;

    so the code is

    function SnapShot_OnEvent(self, event, ...)
    local arg1 = ...;

    It's an oddity with WoW 4.0, sometimes the variables aren't loaded before the CHARACTER_ENTERING_WORLD event fires, sometimes they are. It has nothing to do with the saved data, and fortunately the exception handling of WoW LUA is pretty good so the event check just fails and doesn't destroy anything. I'll have to check why they changed the behaviour of that event for 4.0 and make a fix.

    Appreciate your efforts to update this for WoW 4.x, Taktaal. Been using this mod on leveling characters for a very long time.

    But SnapShot v4.0.1 is still bugged in WoW 4.x. Log on with that version with a prior v3.30 saved variables being used, the following error is thrown up:

    ["message"] = "SnapShot\\SnapShot.lua:70: bad argument #1 to 'strmatch' (string expected, got nil)\nSnapShot\\SnapShot.lua:70: in function \nSnapShot\\SnapShot.lua:395: in function \n\nLocals:|r\nz = nil\n(for generator) = defined =[C]:-1\n(for state) = {\n 1 = \"Naxxramas\"\n 2 = \"Archavon\"\n 3 = \"Obsidian Sanctum\"\n 4 = \"Eternity\"\n 5 = \"Ulduar\"\n 6 = \"Icecrown Citadel\"\n}\n(for control) = 1\n_ = 1\nv = \"Naxxramas\"\nRaidZones = {\n 1 = \"Naxxramas\"\n 2 = \"Archavon\"\n 3 = \"Obsidian Sanctum\"\n 4 = \"Eternity\"\n 5 = \"Ulduar\"\n 6 = \"Icecrown Citadel\"\n}\n\n ---",
    ["type"] = "error",
    ["session"] = 65,
    ["counter"] = 1,
    }, -- [987].

    Its fairly consistent; a single count of that error every time you log on/the mod loads.

    But go into the SnapShot GUI and manually take a new shot (on a below-80 character). Log out and relog, that error does not reappear. Also, no issues viewing old saved snapshots.

    So some issue with it initializing its old saved data if there is no new data present. And certainly don't want this deleting its old saved data have collected over the years to resolve the issue.

    I get the following error every time I log-in. Any ideas how to fix it?

    ...\SnapShot.lua line 356: attempt to call method 'SetEnable' (a nil value)

    Thanks,
