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:

Re: skada for 4.1 has trouble

I have used it for serveral years...

After 4.1 patch, when I join +15 raid,(some battle grounds or 25 raids)

can't play game by frame drop.(almost 2~3fps... it sucks)


I tried to figure out which addons caused problem, and got answer.

it was SKADA (for 4.1)

after I disabled skada, then it was just fine. Got good frame


anyway... I prefer SKADA to recount!

plz patch up this great one!

Yep, same here since 4.2, when entering combat, get seroius lag. Since I deleted Skada, and no damage meter--->No lag.
Altough I need a good dmg meter, and Skada is a good one, so hope u can solve lagging problem

The person you are quoting was using a modified version of Skada, which was the cause of his problem. Are you using this version? Also, try disabling all addons except Skada. Skada, like most addons, use libraries that are shared among many addons and can cause conflicts.

A pet-peeve of mine too... Library devs should prefix functions with the version to prevent problems with different versions (in scripting languages).

I'm having a weird problem with the font outline.
When Skada first runs its numbers the fonts don't have an outline, but once the fight ends any new fights after that has outlines.

As long as Skada has ran once the fonts have outlines but if i re-log or reload UI
the first run of Skada the outlines on the fonts don't appear until the fight has ended.

Is there a solution for this?
Thanks

Hey,

Still having the error when I am in mode "Absorbs & Healing" and I mouseover a player's bar I only see absorbs.

Am I missing an option somewhere?

Thanks!

The option to change the width of skada bars seems to be removed. Is my addon bugged? or was this actually removed?

i thought so to, but apparently now, if you unlock your window you can drag its with and hight at the bottom right corner which will adjust the numbers of bars and with of the bars.

quite handy, but should be in the changelog to avoid confusions.
edit: nvm, its mentioned. im just slow at getting it:P or i just overlooked it when i updated it

I updated Skada today and it seems, that the aggro-window is broken as no data were shown within!?

Edit: OK, aggro is shown. It only doesn't work on boss-dummies...

I still have the same problem when I am viewing "Absorbs and healing" and I mouseover any of the bars I ONLY see Absorb details. So, as a resto druid, I never see any details at all (since I have no absorbs). And when I mouseover my holy paladin healer partner, I only see her absorbs and not her healing.

It used to show both absorbs and healing when mousing-over any entry in that mode

ElvUI Conflicts with Skada :<
Whenever ElvUI is active, the Skada windows are not there
If you add a window in the config, nothing happens (doesn't show up in the list either)

ElvUI (and other Tukui derivatives) modifies Skada to make it fit into the UI. That part of ElvUI has not been updated yet to reflect the recent changes in Skada. In the meantime, you can disable ElvUI's Skada skinning and just configure it yourself.
