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".

An option to turn off or on data collection fully would be nice indeed. Recount has some options to set where to gather (when grouped etc), but I only use "/recount pause" to turn it off when I don't want it to gather any data.

Great addon, I had been hoping a more memory efficient addon then Recount would eventually surface so this is awesome (Plus it combines recount and omen!).


One question:
In recount you can disable global data collection when you are solo or doing things like WG or BGs. Is it possible to have skada collect NO data but still be active in memory like this? I looked through all the options and couldn't find anything. I realize it is easy to reset the memory, but an option to disable/enable all data collection would be nice. If it exists sorry for the comment I just cant find it.

Some comments on 1.0.9:

I setup a window and tweaked its size and the bars so I got room for 8 bars. But when using mouse scroll to go down, I can only get down to "Damage", the entry for "DPS" is missing. If I make the bars much smaller, then "DPS" pops up at bottom again.

The background window catches mouse clicks but not wheel scrolling. I got a slight distance between my bars and found that I sometimes pointed exacty there and could not use mouse scroll.

Is it possible to tweak so the entry order in the data options view? I see 8 bars and "Damage" plus "DPS" are at bottom so I have to scroll down to see them (as a dps class I use those most often).

I'm really happy so far with 1.0.9. Great work.

Remember that versions on wowace.com/projects are developer versions and may contain more bugs. That said most work well an can be an extra resource for those who want to test more. But downloading from there also mean you should report bugs there, not here. Or at least clearly state which version you run when reporting a bug.

Downloading 1.0.9 now, many new things to play with.

Has anyone tried the latest version and can confirm that shiftclick reset works properly now after a relog?

Tried doing the quest Aces High! with skada to test if the dragons you ride on counts towards ur own damage and they dident

So i guess when doing the real thing ie malagus it would be a bit messy, (having 25/10 players and then 10/25 dragons on the meters and no clue about who's dragon is who's)

Please fix

Tried setting Skada to show the threat during combat, then back to damage done after combat ends. It seems that when I'm only able to see damage done during the last fight and it's resetting every time instead of giving me the damage done since the last time I manually reset. Did I screw up a setting so that I'm only getting damage done for the last fight or is this a bug?

First off just wanted to say I love this mod
But, yeah any chance of a /skada toggle option? To hide/show the meters instead of clicking the minimap button.

pet issue in occulus

These pet issues occured for me in occulus, perhaps they would occur in other zones with a pet being desummoned/resummoned but I have not noticed.

The issue I found is that every time the warlock got off of his occulus drake mount the pet was from there on counted as a new pet. In the ss Lazbis is the imp who was repeated in the report.



Is there a pet merge option I'm not seeing in /skada config?
Such an option would certainly resolve this issue.

I tested Skada's accuracy compared to Recount's, and also uploaded my combat log, Skada's was about 150DPS off WoWMeterOnline's parse, while Recount's is only 2DPS off.

Make it avilable in the broker part maybe, or make it open a new window with report features, such as recount has, also the ability to report top 5 instead of top 10.
You already can chose how many people to report. "/skada report [channel] 5" will report the top 5.

An LDB module would be nice - click to open/close the window - text to show your own mode (damage, deaths, whatever). I used to use the Violation LDB to show my current dps without having to have the Violation window open all the time. (switched to Skada to get more detail/boss only reports, but sometimes it's nice to keep things simple - especially when soloing).

I have observed similar differences between Recount and Skada and I think Skada only records damage etc. when you are in combat and Recount is always recording or at least when anybody from your group is in combat.
That would explain the differences and why they seem to be higher in trash pulls.
