Screenshot Helper  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.5
by: sirinsidiator [More]
Automatically hides all remaining UI elements (e.g. floating markers, enemy glow, fps window, etc.) when the ingame UI is toggled via the game's keybind (not bound by default). Also adds an optional keybind that centers the camera on the character so you can make nice portrait screenshots. In addition, the arrow keys will allow you to move the camera and page up and page down change the field of view while the GUI is hidden. You can reassign these key in the controls menu.

the addon does not add a new keybind for hiding the UI (besides the portrait key)
It only makes sure that the /fps window, quest markers, enemy glow etc gets hidden when you toggle the UI.

Yes but there some UI-Parts that will not disappear.
But with our Addons it does...

I created a similar addon 2 months ago
because I wanted to make screenshots without group markers as example which dont hide by the standard function.

UI Bug

Over the past day I've had an issue with UI being reset any time I reload or relog.

When I load in, several settings in the Nameplates category are set to the lowest value;
Healthbars
Alliance Indicators
Group Members
Resurrectable Players
Followers
Quest Givers
Glow Thickness
Target Glow
Interactables Glow

I think this came after pressing the hotkey for Screenshot Helper and then pressing the key to hide UI.

I have a small problem with this addon: if I alt-tab the game, when I come back, I have the blurry effect on the side of the screen. I need to activate the screenshot mode and off to get rid of them. My screenshot key is "Home", so nothing in common with Alt-tab.

First time I hear about that. A few questions.
Is the UI disabled or is it just the blur effect?
Did you use ScreenshotHelper before you tab out, or does it also happen when you haven't used it?
Does it also happen with only ScreenshotHelper enabled?
Does it still happen when you unbind the ScreenshotHelper "Toggle Character Portrait Mode" key?

I decided to give this a try today as I really love taking pictures of my characters. I have however noticed that regardless of whether my UI is toggled off or not, I do not have enemy glow. I checked Add-On settings but Screenshot Helper does not appear in the Add-Ons settings list. Is this something that was changed with one of the more recent patches and could it be possible to adjust so that when UI is on the red glow is visible?

EDIT:Okay, so after double-checking, I seem to be having the same problem as JasminaChillibeaner. After a complete restart, my Nameplates have all my settings turned off again (which is why I thought the red glow was gone). Quest indicators also occasionally get turned off between sessions as well.

Last, when I turn my UI off and move the camera, pressing my UI does not reset the crosshair or FOV. So if I have moved closer with FOV or move the crosshairs away from default, I have to try to finagle them back into place. I tried using the portrait option after to reset but it does not work. I've tried deleting the ScreenshotHelper.lua in SavedVariables. I've tried deleting that and the addon itself. (Doing a completely fresh boot between, not just reloadui) and nothing seems to work. Even booting the game without the addon installed, my camera angle/FOV is wrong on the character I altered.

This, by far, is the hugest problem as there is no way for me to set the angle/FOV back to default. Instead, I have to finagle it and try to approximate to get it back into the correct position to play.

EDIT: I am an idiot. I did not realize that there was a 'reset camera' under the regular game options that solves the above problem related to the camera. Still having issues with the nameplates/quest indicators but as long as I remember to turn them back on, it's not a huge thing.

A request:
Would it be possible to have a 2nd toggle to just remove UI elements for the screen shot - w/o zooming in or turning my character around? I wanted to take a shot from behind my character, and was looking for a quick way to just toggle on/off all the UI elements, w/o affecting anything else.

Thanks!

Love the add-on!

You can change the fov with the page up and down keys (or set custom keybinds in the game's controls menu) while in portrait mode.
I'm not sure what you mean with "mouse overview" though?

Keybinds won't work

Since the latest game update (which reset a bunch of my custom keybinds) I can no longer control the camera after I disable the UI.
Yes, the keybinds are still correct and everything works fine on the portrait mode, what makes me assume something in my game is breaking it. Any ideas?

Disable blur, increase max FOV

So useful I don't know why it's not built into the base game. I set full screen effect to FULLSCREEN_EFFECT_NONE because I wanted to get rid of the blur. Is there any way to increase the FOV and zoom out more? I tried changing CAMERA_MAX_FOV but it didn't seem to make a difference. Possible to hide all the UI elements without setting fullscreen mode? My Lua is weak but I'm sure I could grind on it. Thanks again for making this.
