Skada Damage Meter

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 Graphs: Adds graph display systems to Skada
Skada DPSplusHPS: Useful add-on for Disc Priests.
Skada Chat Frame Integrator: Integrates Skada in any chat frame.
SkadaScroll: Provides additional options for scrolling the bar displays
Skada Avoidance and Mitigation: Helps tanks benchmark their damage reduction performance via avoidance and mitigation
Skada for Tanks: Adds information useful for evaluating a tank's performance
Guild Skada High Score: Let's you compare a guild's performance.
Skada_FriendlyFire: Display friendly fire damage done by players
Skada Player Score: Generate combined performance scores for players.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.
Suggestions and bug reports here. Bug reports in comments will be deleted. There is a page with API information here.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

Re: Some Assessment-like Features

Originally posted by Kristie
Assessment is the only damage meter I've liked and Skada comes really close but just like Assessment, I'd like to suggest a little more tinkering around with text like hiding the D/HPS and % for the damage/healing windows(it feels like Skada takes up 1/4 of my screen since I need to make the frame really wide to see names and data). Also maybe an option to adjust the transparency of the title window.

Thanks!

I was a huge assessment lover back in the day, and i have to quote what Kristie said, Skada is the proud follower of assessment, the only thing missing is more customisation of the numbers, like hide the percentage and/or the dps in the damage window for example.

On the cosmetic side now, have the option to keep the bars all with the same color but class color the names., all this was possible with assessment with the use of tags.

Would that also be possible to report by right clicking on the window itself, i personally don't use any broker addon and hide every single button of my minimap.

Lastly, an option to completely hide the title bar.

Also, having the title Skada, visible 99% of the time is pretty pointless. Whenever i exit combat, the LDB reverts back to the title, rather than just continuing to show the last clocked DPS, or whatever mode was selected, which seems more useful.
Regards,

In 1.0-11, the LDB display does not reset the text when combat ends.

As for the difference in DPS, I have not been able to reproduce it yet. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Indeed, that would be much better.

Hi, have you ever thought of adding the whisper target function to Skada for reports? I noticed you have a Self report which is kind of pointless to me since you can just look at the meter, but you're missing a whisper function. I personally don't like to spam raids or party or guild chat and just whisper the person who requests meter information. I love your addon but it's missing this function which I loved from recount. Thanks and keep up the good work ^^.

The /skada report -name- command does support this; the menu will have this feature soon.

kurt1288 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	I've noticed that Skada displays onto of the Blizzard frames (more specifically, where I have it located, when I open the character frame, Skada is on top). Any chance to change the level of Skada? EDIT. I just realized that this doesn't always seem to happen. But I have had it happen occasionally. Another thing, when looking at damage done by spell breakdown for an individual person, the bars displayed under each spell seem to all be very short. Any way to increase their relative length so that they're not all squished to one side? Also, it seems that to completely reset Skada, I have to type /skada reset about 3 or 4 times. I ran Utgarde Keep (heroic if it makes a difference) and none of the bosses showed up under fights. I have Skada selected to only save boss fights. It saves raid bosses though.

I can see that it's displayed in the tooltip, but I would find it very useful to have a realtime display of my dps in the text. I'm using Fortress and Titan for my LDB objects. Thanks for the great mod.

Recount hasn't included overheals in anything it reports as healing pretty much forever. However I'm aware that there is a persistent false rumor that doesn't go away that Recount does include overheals in healing stats. That is unfortunately incorrect and pretty much always has been.

I do repeatedly get feature requests for Recount to be changed to report effective heals. It's really hard to meet those requests because it's always been in!

Good luck with Skada, looks nice.

I added the "Damage Meter" bit mostly to attract attention. "Skada" by itself makes little sense to non-Swedes.

Did I screw up a setting so that I'm only getting damage done for the last fight or is this a bug?

Same thing happening here. Otherwise, extremely impressed!!

EDIT: I think I figured it out... I didn't realise you can right-click twice for more options. i must have been in Current instead of Total.
