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:

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

I am having a small problem with skada. When I click on the little wheel thing, I cannot select a different segment..IE: Current fight or Total.

Those options are blacked out and it is defaulted to Total. I would like to toggle to current fight.

I already reset with the menu and started a new segment and still having this issue.

* Manually hiding windows (by clicking minimap button/LDB) should now hide the windows until clicked again.
This doesn't seem to be the case with me. I'd bet that the various "hide when" options are interfering.

My desire is to:
- hide in combat
- display outside of combat
- If I click the LDB display, hide it and keep it hidden even after having exited combat.

Would it be possible to add a "Total" bar in every section? So you can see, like for example the total raid dps/ total raid damage when in the damage section.

The default frame is:

if you make your own new windows, they will be:

Title Bar Strata (Or Solidity)?

Just wondering if its possible to change the Strata or make the Title bar + background a solid object or something.

I have my skada setup over my minimap - so when its in use, the bars for the actual feeds (dps / hps threat etc) cover the minmap (strata changed).

However, my title bar and background always seem to be "faded" and never completely solid (thus showing some of my minmap)

Suggestions / Help appreciated.

Anyone know how to get the background of the statusbar color to be solid? I want to make it alpha 1 and solid back cause I dont like the faded look. I have background turned off and alternate color set to black alpha one but that doesnt help. I have searched and plenty of people are asking how to accomplish this but nothing seem to work.

thanks

To get rid of the shadow on the text use this:

bar.label:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,0)
bar.timerLabel:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,0)

Thanks to nin/twins

Just put it where the color for text is called. Around lines 254 and 262 in BarDisplay on the Skada folder

Hello, I am using skada since a while and I have a small problem with it. It doesn't seem to be recording spell misses. Playing a rogue, and getting way under the poison hitcap, I attacked the boss dummy, and despite the poison miss being shown in the combat log and in MSBT, skada didn't record it. I checked around the option, but I did see nothing that could hide spell misses or similiar. Is there a way to make misses for spell show?

How come the border/background won't fit?

Also it would be nice if i didn't have too scroll every second while in combat to see who's on top aggro(so i can MD the tank if he's struggling)...

I can't figure out why this sometimes doesn't work for me only on certain toons. On one toon the damage/dps meter will work, but on others the threat meter only works even though I seem to have everything set up the same.

Hi,

i think Skada Bugs a little when "Hide in combat + Hide when solo" is active at the same time. It seems that Skada is ignoring the "Hide when solo" option when i come out of combat.

And i would love to when u can add a option to merge with pets.


beside this two remarks: love the addon, thanks.

is it possible to add an option to adjust the distance between text on the bars and the edges of the bars? i'd like to make the text only about 1px from the edge of the bars instead of the default around 10ish i think..

or could you point me where to go to edit the lua? ive been looking for a good half hour, and found where to adjust the minimum font size and bar height, which i also wanted to adjust, but havent found this anywhere

I don't mean to be an ass, but it would be great if you could answer everyone's unanswered questions when you post a reply. This particular issue is killing me.

Found a BUG!
When the same player and pet's name when, Skada separated for statistical, statistics can not be merged.
