Fiend Damage Meters Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.3.5-9

by: zariel [More]

Fiend - Damage Meters

I started raiding and wanted to see how my damage compared to the rest of the raid, my old damage meter Violation is great, does everything I want it to but it still uses Ace2. Which is the only addon which uses it so its pulling in huge dependencies which I dont want.

So I figured i'd write my own and keep it as simple as I can and not go crazy with features. Enjoy!

I recomend using LDB with some sort of display so you can access the menu to hide and show windows.

News

Latest version (3.3.3-7) Adds initial support for DPS! Please go test it and tell me how accurate it is. It tracks it while your in combat, ie hit something in the past 5 seconds. It resets AFTER you enter combat again, so you can view the meters. THeres a switch in core.lua to turn it off and have simple damage tracking back, as DPS is a bit of a hack around.

Features

Is able to track:

Damage
Healing
Overhealing
DPS

Simple Design
No External Libaries
Low Memory usage
Flexible design
No in-game config
LDB Feed

Also the config is all in core.lua

Config
Here is an example of how to use it, all in core.lua:73.

Code:

	-- Displays are the windows
	local win = self:NewDisplay("main")
	-- View syntax:
	-- Display:NewView(String name, String[] events, int barSize, int[]
	-- headerColor, int[] barColor)
	-- Only name, events and size are required.
	local damage = win:NewView(L["Damage"], {
		"SWING_DAMAGE",
		"RANGE_DAMAGE",
		"SPELL_DAMAGE",
		"SPELL_PERIODIC_DAMAGE",
	}, 16, { 0.6, 0.2, 0.2 })

	local heal = win:NewView(L["Healing"], { "SPELL_HEAL", "SPELL_PERIDOIC_HEAL" }, 16, { 0.2, 0.6, 0.2 })

	local overHeal = win:NewView(L["OverHealing"], { "SPELL_HEAL", "SPELL_PERIDOIC_HEAL" }, 16, { 0.2, 0.6, 0.5 })
	overHeal.overHeal = true

Dev

Dev is done at GitHub which the master branch should be stable, submit patches or just fork it, try to keep my coding style please. I accept patches and feature requests!

Hopefully that made sense to you, thanks its great and lightweight, love that

That would require more data tracking than what is included, I could make it reset when you enter combat, but not save the rest of the data as their is currently a single source (per view) for data.

Though you could have seperate views track different things, having one reset after combat.

Brainstorming here, lol.

jessica A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 77 Uploads: 0	how much of memory usage does this goes up to? Say in a middle of icc25 raid, does it reaches 2 or 3 mb's? I'm using TinyDPS right now but I'm thinking to switch to this if it uses less, my tinydps uses 100kbnormally, when in a raid it goes to 700kb thats it. i'm looking for a lightweight addon for dps I'm actually trying this right now, its good. except can I show DPS in the same column of Dmg done too? I like to see dmgdone/dps in same column that is all, thanks in advance Last edited by jessica : 07-04-10 at 07:37 PM.

Xruptor A Black Drake Forum posts: 83 File comments: 541 Uploads: 36	The problem is that a lot of these damage meter mods (DPS MODS) compute damage differently. Your never going to have exact numbers matching between one damage mod to another. What you will have is a range of numbers that are similar from one mod to another. i.e recount 1245.1k, tinyDPS 1432.k, skada 1325.k Although the numbers aren't exact, they are in within the same range. If these numbers were WAY off then something is obviously wrong with the calculations. Either way, people can't expect all damage meter mods to have exact numbers with one another. In general people have a bad habit of comparing every damage meter to Recount. That shouldn't be the case. Since in reality they are two separate mods. __________________ Click HERE for the ultimate idiot test. -Xruptor Last edited by Xruptor : 06-26-10 at 06:34 AM.

Thats really odd, let me look into it

zariel A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 94 Uploads: 14	New version should fix most things, use an LDB display addon, or something which adds them to the minimap at least then you can control hidden windows. Ill work on converting the dropDown to a slash based menu later on. Enjoy the Korean translation with much thanks to Bruteforce!

I grabbed devtools...

The chat message is actually being caused by QuestRouterLite (even when it's not enabled).

However, new problem. Yesterday I accidentally hide Fiend. It wouldn't come back until I did a reload. But then it stopped tracking anything. It doesn't error when you log in or zone. But if you do a /reload it pops this error now

Code:

Interface action failed because of an AddOn.

Doesn't say what action, but with Fiend enabled this scrolls in chat a lot.

If you use chat events from dev tools, cant remember what the command is it will show you whats causing it.

Yay for DPS! <3

The other feature requests I made were via feature request form. I'd still love to see them if you can integrate them, but accurate DPS/damage was the big thing for me.

Still tweaking UI, screenshot still underway. ^^"
