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:

Third. This is a must-have feature for those of us who want to have a dedicated Skada window for threat somewhere near the middle of the screen. I do it already, but it's very annoying to accidentally click it sometimes. Also it never seems to stay permanently on Threat mode. Is there some way to do this that I'm just missing or is it me accidentally clicking the window that's messing it up maybe? I'm not sure but in any case it would awesome if there was a way to set up a window for permanent threat mode and completely non-interactive!

Currently trying to get the fonts to be Outline and Monochrome. I know its possible to outline the fonts via the GUI, but I think I need to go into the LUA to get them set to monochrome. Any idea where this needs to be? Thanks.

Just wanted to say I LOVE this addon.

I have it showing Total DPS out of combat and it switches to Threat in combat...so cool and I replaced Omen and Recount with a single, smaller addon


EDIT: don't go crazy on all those user requests, I love the small size =)

In random-heroic inis sometimes the full playername ist longer than the hole bar (zb width 180-200).

1. Is it possible to show the playnames without the realmname?

Playername-Terrodar --> only in playername (without -Terrordar)



2. It would be nice if I can cutting/cut short playernames

rambozambo --> ramb or rambo or ramboz


yes i know .... my english is bad :P

hi

Hey Zarnivoop, first of thanks alot for Skada!
So I've been using this addon for quite a long time, and there's something I've never really wrapped my hands around:

Is there any way to set a 1px black border around each bar?

I've seen people achieve it but only on the first bar, rest wouldn't recieve it and I'm quite sh*t at lua code.

Cheers

To fix Skada not saving segments you need to modify line 1778 in Skada.lua

if not self.current.gotboss and boss.BossIDs[tonumber(dstGUID:sub(7, 10), 16)] then

(Old was dstGUID:sub(9, 12))


----solution found in curse comments, and it do works!

Feature Request

Would it be possible to set Skada up to fade out after 10 seconds of non-combat?

The text on my skada windows seems to be randomly switching between Outline and not Outline. I can't seem to even find a config option to make it outline in the first place, and I would really like to make it stay un-Outline.

Any special Lib File that i need for this Segments?
I have the same problem. And I finally find where the bug is ...

it seems there missed a file named bosses.lua which may be functioned to judge boss fights.

so, you can just remove the check of option "only keep boss fights" before it fixed
