Maintainers:
Up to 5.8.3 was AnduinLothar
Up to version 5.0.0 was Dandelion

Summary:
DamageMeters monitors damage and healing done by and to yourself and other nearby players. It keeps a running total for each player and displays the information as a bars chart in a frame on the screen. It is perfect for real-time comparison of the various members of your party or raid. At any time the text results can be output as "says", to raid or party chat, or whispered to another player. Many console commands exist for customizing the meters: type "/dm help" for a listing.

FAQ:

Q: Why the "-AL"?
A: Dandelion, the orig author, has retired from WoW. AnduinLothar (me) modified v5.0.0 from Cosmos because that version works with English, German and French clients. AnduinLothar has no long term plans to enhance functionality and would gladly hand over maintenance to someone else, but decided DamageMeters had a large enough user base that it deserved to be updated to use the 1.12 addon communication API.

Q: MY DM WINDOW DISSAPPEARED!
A: Use "/dm resetpos". This should make the DM frame visible and put it against the right side of the screen.

Q: What happened to the "Reset Each Combat" option?
A: It was made irrelevant. DamageMeters now keeps in essence two full sets of information: one normal, and one set that applies only to the latest fight. This second set, the Fight set, is what provides the information for the DPS, HPS, DTPS, and HTPS quantities. Those quantities are basically the normal quantities but divided by the duration of the fight. If you turn off the "Visible Quantity\Show Fight Data As Per/Second" option you have what is in essence the same thing as what you had before with the "Reset Each Combat" option.

Q: Why can't DM just automatically sync?
A: v5.1.0 has a BETA auto-sync option. This will sync when you lave combat once every three (3) minutes. In previous versions this was left out for the following reasons: Primarily because sync'ing takes a long time. There is just a lot of data to transmit, and since WoW likes to boot clients that send data too quickly DM transmits it slowly. If you are having problems with frame lag or being disconnected randomly you should disable auto-sync and do it manually after boss fights.

/agree, This has every feature I want in a DM, but some stats are a bit off now. Kinda obnoxious! Update would be welcomed!

Hope that helps people and you can incorporate this into you next update. And thanks for keeping this one alive.

any chance someone (who knows what they are doing when it comes to modifying mods, which probably rules me out) to put up an modified version of the TitanDamageMeters mod with the fix camealion suggested?

or if someone has already done this, could someone please provide a link to the page to download the working version of TitanDamageMeters from?

either way, thanks for the help.

Nice to see someone keeping this mod alive.

The only problem I had was the Titan panel plugin still does't work. I got it to work by changing TitanDamageMeters.xml

So you want a new category of damage absorbed in addition to healing and damage done?

This might or might not be the right place to post this, I hope it will reach a maintainer of damagemeters.

Earlier in this comment threat, I posted something about saving the tooltip info setting, here is how to do it:

add the variable DamageMeters_tooltipDataLevel to the .toc saved variable field, as such:

Code:

## SavedVariables: DamageMeters_tables, DamageMeters_barCount, DamageMeters_quantity, DamageMeters_sort, DamageMeters_textOptions, DamageMeters_colorScheme, DamageMeters_autoCountLimit, DamageMeters_syncChannel, DamageMeters_loadedDataVersion, DamageMeters_pauseState, DamageMeters_quantityColor, DamageMeters_contributorList, DamageMeters_eventDataLevel, DamageMeters_tooltipDataLevel, DamageMeters_textState, DamageMeters_debug4, DMT_ACTIVE, DMT_SAVED, DMT_VISIBLE, DamageMeters_quantitiesFilter, DamageMeters_tableInfo, DMTIMERMODE, DamageMeters_viewMode, DamageMeters_debugEnabled, DamageMeters_flags, DamageMeters_savedBarCount, DamageMeters_BARWIDTH, DamageMeters_pluginDMITable, DM_eventCaseTableDebug

Might be considered quaint, but it does the job quite well. Props to Kthana (and everyone involved) for keeping DamageMeters alive. I looked around (recount, recap, swstats) but it never quite performed as well as DM.

Re: Probably when dragging and you right click

You can do a '/dm lockpos' to lock it back down but it's still a bit of a hassle, especially since I just right click for no reason a lot haha.

Also, it seems like most settings are saved globally, except for the position of the frame? O_o

i have the same problem but its when i left click to drag it and also its not recording anything at all.....when installing it says theres folders with the same name as the Libs, TitanDamageMeters, ChatThrottleLib, and Skin folders.
