Cowmonster's CombatMeters
This is a simple combat meters addon that I've been toying with and I finally decided to post it. It lacks a lot of features of some of the other damage meter addons, but does add one of its own.
It does not store tons of information about fights so if you want a larger memory foot print and tons of data about the fight keep looking because this isn't the addon for you.
What this addon will do for you is display information about the current/last fight about total damage, dps, hps, interrupts, dispells or threat.
For those of you who do BGs or even rBGs. Unlike other combat meter addons, my addon gets blizzard's information which covers the entire BG (both factions) not just those that were in-range of your combat log. This actually allows you to scroll through the list of people prior to the beginning of a BG and see what classes and specs are on both sides and to keep track of where you stack up in damage or healing for the whole BG at a glance without opening the score panel. Selecting horde/alliance/all on the score panel will change the information displayed in the combat meters as well.
The addon will not report information to chat. I had this feature at one time and decided to remove it. Too many people spam meters already. Everyone else should have a meter if they want to know what it says.
This is still a work in progress and does have some odd little nuances. I am still working to integrate a threat meter (another one of my addons I decided would be best incorporated in this addon for release). I will be updating as I find bugs or bugs are reported in the comments.
The addon can be resized by dragging the bottom right corner and moved by dragging with the right mouse button on the buttons across the top. Later I may add some configuration options, but for now it is a work in progress.
To allow the addon to become extra small and compact, if the addon gets to small to fit all the buttons the interrupts and dispells buttons will each disappear in turn to allow room for the other buttons.
The addon has a slash command for some basic options like hiding/showing the addon, resetting its position on the screen and setting the scale of the addon. There may be additional options in the future and a list of options can be obtained by simply using the slash command "/cm" or "/combatmeters" without any options.

non-BGs.
* Addon no longer continuously refreshes meter unless in BG.
* Killing Blows / Deaths / Honorable Kills replaces DPS in BGs.
* Settings table at the top of CombatMeters.lua should now allow for
some lua based configuration for those interested in using it, but
changing these settings is not required to move the frame or use the
addon in general.
* Code has been cleaned up some which includes re-organising and
defining variables and various unspecified tweaks.

Add a small LUA only configuration to change:
Size Barsize Texture Border Position Smoothhealth on/off Hide in/out of combat And this will be the addon I most certainly will use. These settings can be altered through the LUA already, but gathering them would be simpler for the common person.
