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".

Going to try this on sunday. A few requests to start with:

1.) Option to only record data when in a raid/group/instance etc (and do not record in BG/arena and when solo)

2.) Option to only show the window when joining a raid or group (hide when solo)

If these requests are made allready i'm sorry, but i don't hang around much on Wowinterface, so could you please make a thread on WowAce as it's there the alpha's are released frequently? Thanks.

This is already implemented.

Skada

Just picked this addon up to try it out. Looks good so far, though the true test will come with raid time. However a couple of things I would LOVE to see:

1.) Ability to edit what texts show in the bars. Personally I don't care to show my dps or my percent of damage done in the damage done frame. I just want the name and the damage done.

2.) Ability to show mutliple windows. For example, I have one window showing my damage done, and another window showing my threat. This would allow an easy way to give users a reason to drop mutliple addons to just use this one.

3.) I saw it's on your to-do but a background would be nice

Seems like a young addon still growing and I really really look foward to seeing it in action, and it's continued improvements.

Edit: Also the ability to class color bars would be AWESOME, so you can get an idea of what class is going where if you are a raid leader.

Edit2: As said below, the ability to hide and show the frame on demand would be lovely.

Adding the ability to hide the entire frame when you're not in a party and appear when you are would make me a happy panda!

Edit: The threat is also showing the % sign twice.

Looks good so far. I have a couple suggestions you may want to think about.

- On the breakdown of hit/crit per ability you may also want to include another level of highest value / average value.

- Fubar/Titanbar plugin with basic options like report, reset, and the ability to show a number of values independent of the skada window. For example I would like to set skada to switch to threat during combat, show damage out of combat, but track my dps numerically on fubar.

- Report GUI of some sort.


Thanks for your work so far, the navigation is intuitive and well thought out. I will be keeping a close eye on the development and look forward to recommending it to friends.

Excellent work so far, frequent updates and solid performance. Now I miss only one thing and I would be very happy if it could be implemented so I can get rid of both Recount and Omen. I would love to see a visual and sonic aggro warning feature ala Omen on the threat module when you overaggro.

Keep up the good work; your efforts are highly appreciated.

PS: Fubar support wouldn't hurt either

I love it! Wayyy better than Recount.

There's a very wierd thing that seems to happen though. I'll try to explain it best I can.

When I downloaded the newest version(-7), I deleted the two skada files in the SavedVariables folder. Now here's what happens. Basically, it doesn't keep the most recent data upon logging/reloading the ui/etc. I have the meter set to only keep boss data. I went to a target dummy (boss one), reset Skada, and did some damage. Then I logged out and logged back in. Skada now displayed the "Herioc: Target Dummy" under Fights and doesn't display anything under the Total menu. I can reset Skada, log out and log back in, and I still have that fight data. Seems there's a problem with storing and retrieving the data. It kinda sucks because my game will occasionally lock up and require a restart. I did Sarth tonight and had the game lock up almost immediately after I went to Dalaran. Logging back in, I had the data from my last Naxx run .

This is a great addon and I'm happy to see the rapid refinement and changes being made to it. Well done and keep it up; I can definitely see this replacing Recount for those people that prefer a lighter addon.

umm no buttons pls, or at least make them hideable. Clean is good. Now multiple windows like assessment had would would be nice.

remember you can always macro your report if its typically to the same channel.

[edit] ah ic you said in the broker part, I think that would have to be a modifer click.

Nice, thank you.
I would also love to see a report feature without the need to type /skada report etc. maybe some buttons inside the broker part?

"officer" and "self" are added as /skada report targets in the next version.
