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:


There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

I would like to see the amount of absorbed damage, that the others damage meters don't show. Would make this meter the best, more accurate meter addon.
In a certain way this "absorbed damage" stat appears on the site dejawow,com (like WWS website).

A discipline priest has many shields and all the passive healing done is hidden, but still can be counted as effective.

In the latest version, this as well as whispering can be done though the menu.

No actually, the problem remains - it is the Threat data feed. Will be fixed in next version.

I would just like a on/off switch. I.e. when it's on collect all data where ever I am, and when it's off, well, it's off. Advantage is just one switch to manage. Disadvantage would be if you forget to turn it on. But usually there is some trash before a boss so you notice anyway.

wuzah! I like Skada, byebye recount Thanks for your work Zarni <3


But.. if it had a wish and it would be possible: Could you insert
- an option to turn off the spark effect on the bars and
- an option to turn off the bars (or an option to change to an "empty" bar similar it is possible in recount)

pleeeeeeeeeeease

-> I like the text-only mode, that's it

I might have missed it if this has already been reported but, I tried to send a report to /whisper, typed in the name of the recipient and got the message 'No player named whisper is currently playing' 10 times. Before you ask, no I didn't type Whisper in the box

I use Cellular for /w, not sure if this is the reason but would be nice to fix this when you get time

It was a bug. Fixed in 1.1-4.

The alternate color isn't working for the detailed damage overview for me (when it shows your abilities that did damage). I can get 3 bars in the same color after each other then 2 in the other etc. (as a DK)

Multiple windows

I actually don't like the multiple windows feature that was recenetly added. When in a party or raid I want threat during combat and auto switching to dmg/dps when out of combat all in the same window. Any way to make it behave like this as again?

Yes. Just open the configuration, and expand the "Skada" entry. You will see a "Windows" entry underneath "Skada". In here each individual window can be configured the same way the single window could be configured before. This includes automatic mode switching.

Zarnivoop,

First off, I wanted to say that I absolutely love your addon. I do have a feature request, however. Do you think you could reverse the list order of the entries when you have the items "grow up" instead of growing down. As it stands now, when you set things to grow up, they're of course listed backwards. It'd be nice if the list were reversed if you grow up, putting the top numbers on top

Thanks,
Jerle

Just did a full Naxx raid tonight while running both Skada and Recount, to compare them, and I must say I am impressed. Although I might have set Recount to collect much data, Skada took up ~3.5 mb, and Recount took up ~47 mb at the end.

While going more into detals for each person, I noticed that Skada often showed higher missrate than Recount. And it seems like Skada counts immune as missed, which is a bit missleading.

Another thing I was missing, is to be able to post a spell report for a specific player. Currently you can only report damage, healing, fails, deaths etc, but not the details of a specific player under those modes.
