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:


There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

I really like to use skada everywhere for analyzing, but the feature it lacks the mos I think is damage taken by source.
first you see a list of sources that damaged the raid and when you click on one, you see a list of members and their damage taken.

I really like the recent update to fix class colors. Any chance on getting an option to make a window 'click-through'? Or even a pointer as to how to do this myself? (My threat display is pretty easy to accidentally click on).

Also, for editing the bar background color, check out SpecializedLibBars.lua

And the 110% / 130% threat display option is Threat -> 'Show raw threat'

Would it be possible to add an option for threat module to view it like Omen does with 110% pull threat in melee or 130% pull threat in range if this is possible I have missed it

But one question: Is it possible that you put all archives in to one archive?
I hate the overview in my addon profile if there are so many addons to mark :>
Skada and Recount are not using the same calculations, hence the difference. I believe Recount discounts time spent idle (after a certain amount of time), and also starts segment (and therefor your active time) earlier. Which one of them is correct is a subject of opinion. Skada's calculation is in either case plainly visible in the DPS mode's tooltip.

You can put all the Skada modules inside a Skada/modules folder if you wish.

I'd like to request the following:

- Option to toggle the "spark" on the bars
- Option to change the background color/alpha on bars
- Possibly track vehicle damage too

@ blizzart

My English is worse to my school, Russian was compulsory, and even I can no longer.

Das was du schreibst ist mir in beiden Richtungen aufgefallen, bei ner 5er Inis allerdings kein 1-2k, sondern "nur" 300-1k dps.


@ richerich

With Skada I had more time an empty combat log was found and fixed the cause.

I let Skada and Recount run into the Raids within the last week together.

There is a great difference in the dps.
The most time have the players very very more dps in skada then in recount.
Sometimes more then 1 or 2k dps difference.

I will not say skada is displaying wrong, or recount,
but this is hilarious and to many difference.

I have observed, that skada recording only if I come infight.
Recount recorded too if my grp is infight and me not,
this make mostly a great mismatch.


Atm I use still skada, cause its more performance friendly and looks better then recount.

sry for some very bad english :P

Can anyone tell me how I fix this:



Half the options keep getting grayed out and the only way I can figure out to fix it (temporarily) is to reinstall Skada.

Would it be possible to add a feed option for Damage Done instead of just DPS? It'd also be nice if it showed your current rank on the meter as well

Finally decided to give this a try, been using recount for ages now, and so far those are my only issues

Just installed Skada for the first time, I had been using Recount before.

I logged in, poked around in the cogwheel menu and then right-clicked the title bar a few times and this error occurred:

Code:
1x Skada-1.2-25\Skada.lua:308: attempt to index local 'mode' (a nil value)
Skada-1.2-25\Skada.lua:326: in function `click'
Skada-1.2-25\BarDisplay.lua:99: in function <Skada\BarDisplay.lua:91>
Skada-1.2-25\BarDisplay.lua:227: in function <Skada\BarDisplay.lua:227>

Locals:
win = <table> {
 metadata = <table> {}
 dataset = <table> {}
 bargroup = SkadaBarWindowSkada {}
 db = <table> {}
 usealt = true
 display = <table> {}
 history = <table> {}
}
id = "total"
label = "Total"
button = "LeftButton"
mode = nil
find_mode = <function> @ Skada\Skada.lua:87:
