Skada Damage Meter  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.8.2
by: zarnivoop, funkydude, oscarucb

Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes, segmented fights and customizable windows. It aims to be highly efficient with memory and CPU.

Usage

When you first start using Skada, there will be a window created by default. This window can be extensively customized in Skada's configuration panel; click the little cog icon to access a menu, and then click Configure. Depending on your user interface, there may also be a minimap button allowing quick access to this menu.

Skada supports multiple windows. To create a new window, click Windows in the addon's configuration panel. There are three built-in types of windows - Bar, Inline, and Data text. Bar is the classic damage meter window, and is very customizable. Inline shows the meter in a horizontal line, which can be useful for integration in custom user interfaces. Data text shows just one item at a time, and can also be displayed by any LDB display addon, such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI.

In the normal Bar window, you can left click on specific items for more detailed information, and right click for less details. At the very "top" is the list of all saved fight segments. Some data modes have several detailed information views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can Shift-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.

You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.

Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.

Plugins

Skada is very easy to extend, and there are many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality, such as:

Memory issue...

I have updated to the newest version..btw thanks for fixing the spell detail error so quick. My problem is that skada is using over twice the memory than it used to. I am not receiving any errors either. Before this latest release the spell detail error was causing memory usage to jump. Now it is even higher on memory usage. I disabled all addons except skada and it still uses 2.2mb of memory whereas before it only used 700kb. I only use damage and threat modules if that helps. Thanks for a great addon.

SkadaDamage allways used 2+MB after a few hours of raiding (Skada itself using 1-2 MB aswell, since it caches saved data i think, and 2mb is nothing anyway. What you should be concerned about with addons is how much CPU they're using, and i cant comment much on that since i havnen't profiled Skada in a raid yet.

Could you make a /skada show and /skada hide command that would show/hide all windows? As a raidleader I need to be able to very easily display it.... sometimes. And the rest of the time would like it hidden. Right now my only choice is to always have it visible.

Anyone having trouble with the death logging? It worked the first couple of fights I ran it with but after that its just showing nothing when you drill down into a specific death. It still lists the total number of deaths correctly but just seems to have no detail.

Also would it be possible to add the targets health at each stage in the death log? This gives a MUCH better view of what is going on (and is standard in Recount and Acheron).

Thanks!

Data not recorded

I downloaded the last version of skada today, and I have a weird error, the data isn't collecting at all but I'm not getting any error report.
I tried to change almost every option but I can't get the data collected, everything stays at 0.
Of course my damage and all the others modules I needed were enabled.
So if you can find a way to make the data collected

Regards


Edit: Nevermind that was an odd error that occured on login, a simple exit/login resolved the error

There is a "/skada toggle" command.

Okay thanks. It's not listed on the slash command list. I did try /skada hide in case it worked but, well it didn't.

[13:10] Skada: Usage:
[13:10] Skada: /skada report [raid|guild|party|officer|say] [mode] [max lines]
[13:10] Skada: /skada reset
[13:10] Skada: /skada newsegment
[13:10] Skada: /skada config

When I go in and I want to send a report, or change the mode and such, the menu keeps disappearing.

Is this the Addon itself, or another Addon that may be conflicting and forcing the menu to close?

Modes reset after fight

Hi
Very new to skada after using recount for so long.
Ok, the issue (not a major problem) I have, i can right click as you say and get a full list "modes" etc which is pretty nice. however I have NUI, and two columns set up automatically. I set on to threat and one to heals (resto shammy) and go fight something. Once the fight is over It doesnt return to the previous mode with the full listing.
Being new to skada, its possibly me not clicking something ( the combat mode is clicked in settings to return to previous menu btw) or its a disparity with NUI.

Any ideas greatfully accepted

How do I actually stop Skada from popping every time I join a battleground? First thing I do when I join BG is reset Skada and actually toggle it off. I have "Hide in PvP" selected, but the window shows up every time. Do I need to disable "Ask to reset" option?

CC Announce

The CC brakes will not announce in raid/party anymore since patch. Yes I have the latest version and the option are checked. I even cleared my saved variables. Is anyone else having this issue also? Better yet anyone have any suggestions on what happen or how to fix it? Love this Addon BTW
