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:

What are the names of Skada's frames? I'm trying to anchor kgPanels' panels, but I can't find out what they are called.

the Skada:ToggleWindow() function is an example of what would be nice. If i could get something like SkadaMode(Threat), that'd be great, but I doubt that's doable.

I even have the index from the Skada:GetModes() function, how would I be able to use it?

anyone?
Call
Code:
win:DisplayMode(mode)
, "mode" being one of the modes you got from Skada:GetModes(), and "win" being one of the windows you get from Skada:GetWindows().

I'd love the ability to show the window only inside raid or party instances, rather than hiding it when in PVP instances. It really annoys me to have it appear between arena games, because I'm in a raid but in Orgrimmar.

**EDITED TO ADD** I found out it was Skinner doing this.

Feature Request: Making your threat in the threat window (if displayed) to display color depends on threatlevel (green if low threat, red if high threat).

How did you get it to even do that? Mine goes to Current Fight every time I enter combat and remains there, updating with each new fight segment. I want it to default to Total all the time, just like you, but I would settle for it going back to Total after each fight if I could get that.

Having an issue with the new version. Current fight keeps disappearing. Not showing any bug errors at the moment though. As soon as I loaded up the previous version, the Current fight comes back.

<3 Skada!
That looks damn nice, just a shame it requires having TukUI installed. If anyone can replicate this using only Skada.lua and share it, i'd love it.

Actually, it has... I noticed when i watched the spell detail window on the new update that the icons are outside of the display
