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:

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

Try SkadaBarWindow. If you ever get nil from the GetMouseFocus():GetName() try GetMouseFocus():GetParent():GetName().

BTW I really like the UI in this. The self-contained left-click to zoom in, right-click to zoom out is nice. If I can make one tiny suggestion, a highlight texture on the bars would make it a bit more polished. It doesn't need to be a button-spanning highlight to obscure the data, a blip on the bars' edge (or both edges) would fit.

Something like:

if not self.highleft then
self.highleft = self:CreateTexture(nil,"HIGHLIGHT")
self.highleft:SetTexture("Interface\\OPTIONSFRAME\\VoiceChat-Play")
self.highleft:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",self,"TOPLEFT",0,-2)
self.highleft:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",self,"BOTTOMLEFT",6,2)
self.highleft:SetVertexColor(.85,.5,.25)
end

in barPrototype:Create.

The minimap button has started to always show up even though I hidden it. If I check/uncheck the box again it hides but doesn't save setting.

How do you show total damage? It always defaults to current. Also, the settings do not save between sessions.

Try resetting; it should go away then.

A similar request is to be able to show damage on specific mobs. In a Sartharion fight, to be able to see damage on Vesperon, for example. This is on the to-do list.

I have two very big request that I think is quite hard to implant, but would be very nice to have never the less.

The ability to toggle vehicle effects, damage/healing and so on, on and off.
Same for normal effects.
Noticed this on malygos yesterday and it makes it somewhat hard to read out how one performed.

To get a estimate on how well one performs while in a vehicle is great and the ability to have them separate (and/or merged) would be awesome


The second thing I'd love to see is phases for bosses. This baby is a very tough one and will probobly take alot more of work then just another module, but to be able to toggle on and off how things go on a specific phase would be great

A idea n how this might look is when you click on a boss segment you are presented with a few options. Perhaps "Total" "phase 1" "phase 2" "phase 3".
The easiest way to get this implanted would probobly be by asking the DBM and BW authors to add some nifty api that says when a phase have ended and the other one starts and other addons can listen to.

If either of these things becomes a part of the addon I'd be _very_ happy.
If neither, I'll stay happy and pleased, love the addon so far!
Keep up the good work!

It seems that with the changes made to detecting combat (perhaps?) and the extra 3 seconds before ending, that the DPS values are now off considerably from Recounts. My dps values are anywhere from 100-400 lower than recounts. It used to be almost the same.

LDB Broken?

The LDB plugin is still broken for Personal DPS. New version also won't update. Just says n/a.

hiho,
I'm playing a Dizi-Priest, and think it would be cool, if skada could log, how much damage is absorbed by my shields. This would be helpful to see how much Damage is absorbed about the whole Battle.

There is, make things clear, dps is one thing, damage done is another things, two windows, one click, simple.

If the author made that difference it's for a reason, clarity.

Omg, clicking is hard.

What's the point of a dps mode if it's already shown in the damage mode...

When I set the width, you see how they will look when full.
but when I actually test it, the bars will become almost full =/
