DamageMeters Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Maintainers:
Up to 5.8.3 was AnduinLothar
Up to version 5.0.0 was Dandelion

Summary:
DamageMeters monitors damage and healing done by and to yourself and other nearby players. It keeps a running total for each player and displays the information as a bars chart in a frame on the screen. It is perfect for real-time comparison of the various members of your party or raid. At any time the text results can be output as "says", to raid or party chat, or whispered to another player. Many console commands exist for customizing the meters: type "/dm help" for a listing.

FAQ:

Q: Why the "-AL"?
A: Dandelion, the orig author, has retired from WoW. AnduinLothar (me) modified v5.0.0 from Cosmos because that version works with English, German and French clients. AnduinLothar has no long term plans to enhance functionality and would gladly hand over maintenance to someone else, but decided DamageMeters had a large enough user base that it deserved to be updated to use the 1.12 addon communication API.

Q: MY DM WINDOW DISSAPPEARED!
A: Use "/dm resetpos". This should make the DM frame visible and put it against the right side of the screen.

Q: What happened to the "Reset Each Combat" option?
A: It was made irrelevant. DamageMeters now keeps in essence two full sets of information: one normal, and one set that applies only to the latest fight. This second set, the Fight set, is what provides the information for the DPS, HPS, DTPS, and HTPS quantities. Those quantities are basically the normal quantities but divided by the duration of the fight. If you turn off the "Visible Quantity\Show Fight Data As Per/Second" option you have what is in essence the same thing as what you had before with the "Reset Each Combat" option.

Q: Why can't DM just automatically sync?
A: v5.1.0 has a BETA auto-sync option. This will sync when you lave combat once every three (3) minutes. In previous versions this was left out for the following reasons: Primarily because sync'ing takes a long time. There is just a lot of data to transmit, and since WoW likes to boot clients that send data too quickly DM transmits it slowly. If you are having problems with frame lag or being disconnected randomly you should disable auto-sync and do it manually after boss fights.

Tried the latest v5.8.2 and I'm still getting taint from DamageMeters! Taint Log shows:

As before, those last 4 lines are then constantly repeated. I'm reverting back to v5.8.0 once again (which does not cause any taint)!

It always goes to the default (ctrl for summary, alt for all events). I like the old behavior of always showing all events.

incith A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	Probably when dragging and you right click There's this problem where.. if you are dragging the frame, and you right click while dragging, it stays locked as moving.. and no matter if you keep clicking or right clicking the frame keeps moving with the cursor. You can do a '/dm lockpos' to lock it back down but it's still a bit of a hassle, especially since I just right click for no reason a lot haha. Also, it seems like most settings are saved globally, except for the position of the frame? O_o

I right click, i see a list of arrows with no text by them, no /dm commands work, they wont even let me press enter. not sure if this has anything to do with it but when i try to put it in my addons it says "cannot find specified file" even tho the folder is copied over.

+1 same story.
Between if i use 5.8.0 version from cosmosui site which requires ChatThrottleLib to be installed, then it works perfect without any freezes.

I'm having the exact same problem as Kolakhan. Downloaded the new version and now I freeze up after zoning into a BG. Turning DM off solved the problem.

EvilG A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	darn pets i was wondering... could it be possible to add a feature where you can add players or pets to DM to be monitored? with a condition for DM to add [P] before the name for when adding a pet, so even if a pet's name is the same as some player's name ya can still tell the difference on DM? i don't need for a merge between owner and pet, them being seperate but monitored would be good enough for me if it was possible it would be real great, for me at least, in cases when i'm with players that has pets, or when i'm getting help from a high lvl friend and not grouped. also, it's a great mod and thanks a lot for updating it!
