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".

New version worked without "jerkiness" at least during the testing I did.

Having Recount side by side the damage reported was same, but I noticed Skada did not count my temporary pet. But dps reported in Skada was very similar to Recount if I added the pet damage.

Currently as DK without points in Unholy I do not have a permanent pet. The 2 minute Ghoul I can summon did not get added to the data. I forgot to test Army of the Dead (doh).

Two more suggestions from me.

A meter for damage done to friendly targets (i.e. other raid members). This is very low priority in current raids but might be nice for Ulduar if there are bosses with player debuffs that hurts other players. Maybe something for Failboat though.

Dunno what the plans for aesthetic changes are, but an option to grow up might be nice for us that have it on bottom of screen.

(will test new version now)

Not sure about it, but, I have "Only Save Boss Fights" selected. After fighting the first boss in regular Utgarde Keep, there was no way to check the data for that fight (or any fight for that matter).

I tried this today

I tried this damage meter today and I have to say.... WTF. It is not even remotely close. It said I was doing 1200 DPS. This isn't even possible given my gear level unless I was just auto attacking. I dunno if there is some config that I missed, but it was just flat out wrong.

Very nice addon, like this way more then recount, although i got a few suggestions:
Can you make it so we can lock the addon, and also make it so we can also change the looks of the black header?

Greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

I haven't tested my jerkiness problem today, as I'm sick as a dog, though it sounds like I can assume its fixed. I'd love to see you keep up on this mod, first damage meter since assessment that I love. Nice work. The bugs will get ironed out eventually...it's up to us to help you find them

Downloaded the latest version (r29).

It seems to work well, though I did notice one thing. When doing a rough comparison of dps calculations for skada versus recount dps calculations, I found that the damage done calculation is the same, but the dps calculation is way off.

Incidentally, it was in sync until I posted a /say report, then it went out of sync.

Edit: After posting what's below, I noticed you had updated since last night. Downloaded the newest version, and the CTD is gone.



Extensive addon swapping around, and I can't find the culprit. When I load your addon, it crashes WoW. When I don't, I get a couple bugsack errors from *other* mods, but nothing fatal or unexpected. I downloaded your version of this mod last night.

I get no more jerkiness, which is great. Haven't tested it in group play yet. The bars mess up but a change of mode and then back fixes them. Looking forward to using it in a couple heroics later, full of promise!

Great Work!

Absolutely loving the way this is shaping up so far. Once all the small things get hammered out, I would love to replace recount with this. Keep up the great work!

Those of you with lag issues, please download the latest version and see if that fixes it.
