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:

Sorry i've tried everything getting my old account back with curse/wowace but I can't and I don't want to register another account so I'm going to post here instead.

I noticed when you add bar padding if you place your mouse between the bars you zoom in/out when you scroll your mouse wheel. I tried enabling Background hoping it would "catch" these scrolls but it doesn't so could you add a feature where the background does this so it would scroll Skada instead?

As of today's patch (08/19/09) was skada not been recording fights? For example Skada did not record today's ToC or when I was doing XT. This and other mods have been acting funny since this new patch was implemented. Please let me know if anyone has been experiencing similar incidents. (i do hope it's not one addon messing up others).

Edit:
Is there anyway to stop the menu's from disappearing? For example after a wipe I would like to link info asap, but due to ppl releasing and running back in the menu disappears I have to try atleast 10 times before i'm able to select what channel/lines I want to report. Otherwise the in normal circumstances it will not do this.

Hi! Can I post a little feature req here?

Can you make a possibility to set the bars transparent when the "bar class color" option is on please. And make an option to show self solid (not transparent) anyway. Especially for threat mode...

Tank you ^_^

I've looked through all the options, and I'm just not seeing target-of-target's threat. As a healer, this'd be handy. Direct me?

Re: Dps drop after boss dies , with skada and warlocks

I've noticed the change to dps and the Fel Armor overhealing behavior as well. I am curious if this has anything to do with Blizzard's 'hotfix' for Val'anyr.

Quote from: Ghostcrawler (Source). We managed to get in a hotfix today that allows periodic healing ticks that were going to overheal entirely to go ahead and fire. Previously they did not fire. This means that effects that were able to proc from HoT ticks that did some healing can now also proc from HoT ticks that overheal completely. The most notable such effect is that Val'anyr's absorb shield should now work as advertised. All these ticks should now appear in the combat log as well, allowing you to get a fuller sense of your raw healing output from all sources.

Sorry that we did not comment before now. Given the nature of the bug, we didn't want to promise anything until we were sure we could fix it.



Best Regards.

Exclamation Dps drop after boss dies , with skada and warlocks

I've watching the dps meters ( skada, recount ) , and i've noticed that the dps of all the locks ,when combat ends it suddenly jumps down about 300-600 dps.

Its only in 3.2 , why the down in dps after the boss dies ? , Elsia from recount said :

"Alright thanks for this. Indeed the Fel Armor heal ticks are responsible for the after combat DPS drop effect that people reported. I managed to reproduce this.

It's kind of a weird situation because in a way this is almost intended behavior, but I can see how it's tricky.If combat is active (the dummy takes some time to get out of combat from) healing is counted towards activity time in Recount and hence it will lower your DPS. Also because of this idling time for Locks when combat is going on otherwise will drop your DPS because you are counted as active healer, which you are.

But clearly this is a change in behavior of the combat log because the CL used to simply not report full overheals of HOT like effects.

I'll commit a version that acts as if this change to the CL never happened. I.e. it will return to not counting pure overheals as activities. I'll have to think about if there is a better solution than this, because it seems supoptimal for healers, but for now at least it restores consistency to before 3.2. "

Can we have a patch to Skada to correct it ? , there is also another dps drop in aoe ( with destro locks ) , anyone noticed ?

How do I actually stop Skada from popping every time I join a battleground? First thing I do when I join BG is reset Skada and actually toggle it off. I have "Hide in PvP" selected, but the window shows up every time. Do I need to disable "Ask to reset" option?

Modes reset after fight

Hi
Very new to skada after using recount for so long.
Ok, the issue (not a major problem) I have, i can right click as you say and get a full list "modes" etc which is pretty nice. however I have NUI, and two columns set up automatically. I set on to threat and one to heals (resto shammy) and go fight something. Once the fight is over It doesnt return to the previous mode with the full listing.
Being new to skada, its possibly me not clicking something ( the combat mode is clicked in settings to return to previous menu btw) or its a disparity with NUI.

Any ideas greatfully accepted

When I go in and I want to send a report, or change the mode and such, the menu keeps disappearing.

Is this the Addon itself, or another Addon that may be conflicting and forcing the menu to close?
