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:

When I first installed skada, the windows were similar to those in the screenshots, however I repaired my wow and it broke skada. I then installed it via curse, however now when I load skada its a weird bluish purple. I tried configuring it back to how it was, but it is a pain to do every window like that.

So 1: could you perhaps explain to me what I did to break this?
2: is there an easy way to copy settings over to multiple windows?


Thanks

how can I disable individual modules ??

Hiya,

I was wondering what line handles ResizeGripRight.TGA; I would like to shift its position so the image is not offset from the bottom-right corner of the window.

I would like to make the image flush with the corner, rather than have some padding between the two.

Thank you for reading!

Disable the relevant addon from within WoW. For example, to disable the Healing-related modules, disable the SkadaHealing addon.

You can also just delete them.

Great addon.

I looked around and couldn't find a solution, sorry if I missed it.

My question is, if you look at the picture of your addon on the wowinterface download page, you see the bars have 2 colors the fill color and then this darker grey color for the bar bg. Is there a way to turn of the second color so that the fill color can go against a transparent background. There is an option in the menu to turn off a bg color but it doesn't seem to toggle that.

Why.. oh why?

how comes skada looks surprisingly similar to recount? and much more important... how can I fix that?

It looked so sleak and streamlined some time ago, now update . poof, looks like recount. No options whatsoever to change that, even the config gear has dissappeared.... why? how? *breaks down* aaaargh

EDITH SAYS:

Got it, reinstalled it and now everything is fine. sry 2 have bothered you... but I was severely shocked xD

Bar Inset

Hi guys, i was wondering if Skada has any option for Bar Inset just like Omen does?

Bar Inset:

"Sets how far inside the frame the threat bars will display from the 4 corners of the frame"

I know that there is no option that allows you to outline the font for this addon, but in the past this could be done through a few LUA tweaks. It seems like this is no more, as something must have changed. Has anyone else had this issue? Anyone get it to work? Below is the LUA tweaks I used to get this to work. I simply added "OUTLINEMONOCHROME" to the original line.

Code:
fo:SetFont(media:Fetch('font', p.title.font p.title.fontsize,"OUTLINEMONOCHROME"

Code:
g:SetFont(media:Fetch('font', p.barfont), p.barfontsize,"OUTLINEMONOCHROME")

Code:
bar:SetFont(nil,nil,"OUTLINEMONOCHROME") (this part is in two places)

The odd time, the outline is shown on certain text, but quickly disappears and rarely returns.

Comma Number Format?

Is there a way to have the numbers on this addon formatted with commas? If not, would it be a lot of trouble to add?

Thanks.

ie. 9876543210 vs 9,876,543,210

Is anyone else Skada acting up, not recording correctly or seem like the interface part is broken altogether?

Update to the latest LibBossID library and it will save boss segments for the new dungeons/raids again.

Not keeping madness of deathwing segments, Unless I uncheck keep only boss fights. Even then it seems slightly glitchy only saving some.


Updated to newest bosslib to see if that helps.

Window reset position

Is there any way that you can add a window reset position option?

I've been experiencing a problem where my Skada meters are hiding themselves aperiodically and I can't get them to return to the middle of the screen. The only way to do this is to destroy (delete) and rebuild the window; however, this has become a nuisance. I've only ever experienced this problem since 4.3.

I haven't been able to determine what is causing this, but it primarily happens after entering a instance.

I'll try and get more info if required... but perhaps just another button in the Config window that can do this?

thanks.

Segments Problem

Hi people, having trouble with the Skada "Segments". The only combat the is showing in the Segment drop down are "Total" & "Current Fight" (Only keep boss fights & Aggresive combat detection are not checked). I got this error too when I click on the "Keep Segment":

1x Skada-1.3-10\Menus.lua:70: attempt to call method 'KeepSet' (a nil value)
Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:706: in function `UIDropDownMenuButton_OnClick':
<string>:"*:OnClick":1: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>

Moved over from Recount and I find that Skada has a lot more functions that I need for raid. Can someone help me?
