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".

second this, same for arena.

EDIT. It seems that the bars always have some background color. Any way to change that color or remove it completely?

How do I add SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 0) to the text on the title/bars ?

g:SetFont(media:Fetch('font', p.barfont), p.barfontsize, "OUTLINE")
and
fo:SetFont(media:Fetch('font', p.title.font), p.title.fontsize, "OUTLINE")
are actually doing the outline, but there's this shadow I don't like !

If I put g:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 0) (or fo:...) it says that "SetShadowColor" is a nil value...

Never had this problem on any other AddOn, so if someone can shed any light on this, I'd appreciate.

Btw, very nice AddOn. Light, pretty, does the job.

Great AddOn, however, is there anyway you can give the Skada frame a name instead of nil so I can hook some frames to it?

Thanks

I'm having this issue as well. I looked through the config and am not seeing how to set this as default.

I currently use 2 frames one toggles threat in combat >> damage OOC, the other is straight DPS, both the Damage and DPS default to Current fight not not Total.

Please let me know if I am missing a configuration item or something.

So you're saying if I use nameplates, it won't shake?

Cause I play with aloft (nameplate addon), and it'll randomly shake at times, and at other times it won't. And they are always turned on...

I'll try it when im solo'ing mobs with my pet (im a lock), and the first two times, it shook for me when i pulled, then it stopped....

Like this:



Can it be fixed? I played with background settings, no result...

REQUEST: A way to stop and keep a segment and setup a simple keybind to do this.

For instance, yogg p1 > p2 > p3 I would like to have three separate segments.

It happens all the time, thats how the every piece of text (except the title bar) looks.

Damage - optional damage output

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to shorten the length of information that appears in the damage display? Not sure if I can explain what I mean, but here goes..

The way it shows now:
1. .... 907.3k [1.7k, 100.0%]
2. ..... 602.0k [1.1k 60.0%]

With an option to choose shorter output
1. Hoga 907.3k
2. Grimdore 602.0k


Would it be possible to add an option to show it like that? Edit: The numbers aren't lining up exactly the way I typed them out in my post /sigh
