Skada Damage Meter

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 Graphs: Adds graph display systems to Skada
Skada DPSplusHPS: Useful add-on for Disc Priests.
Skada Chat Frame Integrator: Integrates Skada in any chat frame.
SkadaScroll: Provides additional options for scrolling the bar displays
Skada Avoidance and Mitigation: Helps tanks benchmark their damage reduction performance via avoidance and mitigation
Skada for Tanks: Adds information useful for evaluating a tank's performance
Guild Skada High Score: Let's you compare a guild's performance.
Skada_FriendlyFire: Display friendly fire damage done by players
Skada Player Score: Generate combined performance scores for players.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.
Suggestions and bug reports here. Bug reports in comments will be deleted. There is a page with API information here.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

nin A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 213 File comments: 83 Uploads: 1	hey, im wondering if there is anyway to filter hots when checking healing? the 4 piece shaman bonus is a hot called "chain heal" (having the same name as the main spell is prob. the reason of this) and since i got 4 piece skada only show the hot's heals when checking healing spells anyway to separate them? thanks in advance!

Blade_Runner A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	Possible bugs (?) Hello, First of all thank you for making this wonderful add-on. I recently started using it and prefer it over Recount, which I was using before. However I came across two things which could be bugs. (1) *** OK. Apparently this is not exclusive to Skada. I just had the same error on Auctionator when I right-clicked the auctioneers in IF and tried to set focus. It was the same message I received on Skada. However about 5 minutes later I was able to set focus without any problem. So as of now, I have no idea what is causing it. Some function shared among add-ons maybe? I will still leave it here since I saw the message on Skada as well. *** When I wanted to use Set Focus on my pet with my hunter or a mob with my mage, I always get an error message which says "Skada is attempting to use a feature which is reserved for Blizzard default UI. Please reset your and reload your UI". These words are not exact since I do not have a screenshot while I am posting this message but the crux is I cannot set focus by right-clicking on the mob/pet portrait and choosing Set Focus function. I was wondering whether anyone else came across this error. (2) Another item I want to report is sometimes Skada does not record any data. I am not sure what is causing this. I have noticed this regularly while I am training on dummies in IF or instancing. It just does not record any data and remains empty. Resetting it also does not work. I would love to give more info on this but I have not found out what is causing it. I have quite a few alts so I am only guessing that it could be jumping between alts and then resetting the add-on might be causing it. Although I did come across it after just logging in for the first time so I think it is a low possibility. I will post if I can find more details but I was wondering whether anyone else came across the same error. For what it is worth, the other add-ons I am using are DBM Pallypower Tell me when Dominos Grid Auctionator Lil'Sparky's Workshop Clique Skada (threat module disabled) Omen OmniCC Quartz Postal Thank you in advance for your help.

- Possibly track vehicle damage too

Quoting for great justice!

There might be some setting that I have missed but to me it looks like it assumes that if I am not in combat then no one is in combat. This is fine if you just use it for personal performance but not so good if you use it to compare raid dps members. This is the only thing I miss compared to other damagemeter addons.

For raid bosses, everyone in the raid enters combat at the same time.

It is true that on trash, this is not the case. I personally have just never seen that as a problem. On the plus-side, due to this behaviour Skada collects absolutely no information while not in a fight, while other damage meters do.

yes, but for example I can't see clearly and sort by damage done by flames on Lord Marrowgar, I see only the overall damage done by marrowgar, where tanks are on first place.

We ran with five hunters in our 25-man last week, and after a few pulls the damage meter entries for all the snakes in the snake traps was overwhelming.

Irielanor A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	I don't know if this has been reported before, but Skada seems to display only the first 2 - 3 ticks of any dot (only tested with a warlock affli / destro on a boss puppet and a german client). Is this a known bug or am I maybe mistaken somewhere? Nevermind... I figured it out myself - I left combat after the 2nd tick ^^ Last edited by Irielanor : 02-26-10 at 06:22 AM.

first you see a list of sources that damaged the raid and when you click on one, you see a list of members and their damage taken.

This is the "Enemy damage done" mode.
