Skada Damage Meter   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes. It is inspired mainly by Assessment, but also by Recount.

Skada sports segmented fights and detailed views, while being highly efficient with memory. This is accomplished by aggregating data on fight segments.

Skada is entirely modular; the modes listed below are all separate addons. Only the modes you load adds to the memory and CPU cycles used.

Features:
  • Automatic mode switching when entering combat. For example, you can have Threat mode be shown in combat. Skada can switch back after combat ends.
  • Specific fight segments can be kept indefinately.
  • Multiple windows. Each window can be configured fully.
  • Threat mode can warn on high threat.
  • Modes: Damage done, DPS, Threat, Enemy damage done, Enemy damage taken, Healing, Overhealing, Total healing, Absorbs estimated, Damage taken, Dispels, Mana regen, Debuff uptimes, Failbot, and more.
  • Reports can be done everywhere. For example, you can report a certain player's Debuff uptimes.
  • Summary information for most modes (DPS, HPS, Fails, etc) in a LDB view/minimap button.
  • LDB data feed can show personal/raid DPS or personal threat.
  • Support for SharedMedia and Class Colors.

Usage:

At first a list of all the modes above are shown. Right-click to show the available fight segments. "Total" and "Current" should be there. After a fight a new segment will appear here. By left-clicking on a segment you choose what data will be shown in the modes. Left-click on "Current" to get back to the mode list. "Current" shows data for the active fight, or the last fight if you are out of combat.

Left-click on a mode, for example "Damage", to show that mode. Left-click again to show more detailed data. Not all modes have detailed data. Right-click to return back to your previous position.

Shift-click anywhere on the window to open a menu. From here you can report data, reset data, and various other things. You can also report with /skada report.

You can configure Skada from "Configure" in the menu, or from the game's Interface->Addons window. You can create new Skada windows here and customize them. A popular feature is "Mode switching".

Data can be reset with /skada reset, from the menu, or by shift+left clicking the minimap/LDB button.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada. All suggestions and bug reports are very welcome. There is a page with API information here.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

* Added an optional background frame. It can either change size dynamically according to the number of shown bars, or have a fixed size, which will then determine the number of shown bars.

Title Bar Strata (Or Solidity)?

Just wondering if its possible to change the Strata or make the Title bar + background a solid object or something.

I have my skada setup over my minimap - so when its in use, the bars for the actual feeds (dps / hps threat etc) cover the minmap (strata changed).

However, my title bar and background always seem to be "faded" and never completely solid (thus showing some of my minmap)

Suggestions / Help appreciated.

Anyone know how to get the background of the statusbar color to be solid? I want to make it alpha 1 and solid back cause I dont like the faded look. I have background turned off and alternate color set to black alpha one but that doesnt help. I have searched and plenty of people are asking how to accomplish this but nothing seem to work.

thanks

To get rid of the shadow on the text use this:

bar.label:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,0)
bar.timerLabel:SetShadowColor(0,0,0,0)

Thanks to nin/twins

Just put it where the color for text is called. Around lines 254 and 262 in BarDisplay on the Skada folder

Hello, I am using skada since a while and I have a small problem with it. It doesn't seem to be recording spell misses. Playing a rogue, and getting way under the poison hitcap, I attacked the boss dummy, and despite the poison miss being shown in the combat log and in MSBT, skada didn't record it. I checked around the option, but I did see nothing that could hide spell misses or similiar. Is there a way to make misses for spell show?

How come the border/background won't fit?

Also it would be nice if i didn't have too scroll every second while in combat to see who's on top aggro(so i can MD the tank if he's struggling)...

I can't figure out why this sometimes doesn't work for me only on certain toons. On one toon the damage/dps meter will work, but on others the threat meter only works even though I seem to have everything set up the same.

Hi,

i think Skada Bugs a little when "Hide in combat + Hide when solo" is active at the same time. It seems that Skada is ignoring the "Hide when solo" option when i come out of combat.

And i would love to when u can add a option to merge with pets.


beside this two remarks: love the addon, thanks.

is it possible to add an option to adjust the distance between text on the bars and the edges of the bars? i'd like to make the text only about 1px from the edge of the bars instead of the default around 10ish i think..

or could you point me where to go to edit the lua? ive been looking for a good half hour, and found where to adjust the minimum font size and bar height, which i also wanted to adjust, but havent found this anywhere

I don't mean to be an ass, but it would be great if you could answer everyone's unanswered questions when you post a reply. This particular issue is killing me.

Found a BUG!
When the same player and pet's name when, Skada separated for statistical, statistics can not be merged.

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.

I can even work it into lua if needed, please help me out.

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'm wondering what I have to edit in .luas to hide spark-effect at bars?
Enable/disable spark effect doesn't work for me -.-

I'd like to ask / request a specific thing from the author. What I'm trying to do is get a button to trigger skada to switch to it's Threat window, how would I do that?

I can even work it into lua if needed, please help me out.

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?
