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:

Font

Anyone know how I can modify the code to outline the font? I'd much appreciate the help! (Spent 30 minutes looking through the comments but couldn't find where anyone had already answered it)

Edit: Nevermind, found it on the forums.

2 problems that I can't seem to fix:

1) I want the meter to stay on total damage, but it keeps shifting to current fight damage during the fight, reverting to total after the fight is over. I just want it to stay on total damage.

2) I can't narrow down the damage. I click on Augy's name, it shows me the breakdown of his ability damage. I click on Mortal strike, and it shows me the hit/crit %s. But I can't see the actual damage ranges on mortal strike, which is what I am actually after.

What can I change to make these two things happen?

There is one thing I was hoping you can fix this issue. It seem it wont record the combat until I flagged myself in combat. Which it is the reason why sometime I feel the info on my Skada is not always right. Other damage meter start to pick up the combat even I am not in combat. I was sitting and taking a drink and looking at combat log, and found out it is still spewing out a lot of combats stuff going on but I havent flagged myself in combat, and Skada didnt pick it up until I get in combat first for Skada to pick it up.

This was a problem for me in raid sometime because I havent start healing until 10 sec later, a lot of thing can happen within 10 sec but im missing out a lot of info going on. I post the healing meter to my friend and compare to his and found out I am missing out 30K of heals of his because Skada wont record his until I flagged myself combat. Is there any way to fix around this?

Possible Bug?

First off, I love this addon! There is one issue that I have found though, and it's most likely due to my OCD when I rearrange my UI xD



If you look at the bars, the ones on the right start to change in size so they don't match up anymore. I have the same settings on each set. Otherwise great addon!

Howdy Zarn!

Will this update have any affect on Darth Android's Skada editless skin mod for TukUI?

<3 Skada!

It should not, no. This update includes the Tuk texture and gives a name to the background frames, which will make it easier to integrate in TukUI.

That looks damn nice, just a shame it requires having TukUI installed. If anyone can replicate this using only Skada.lua and share it, i'd love it.

Having an issue with the new version. Current fight keeps disappearing. Not showing any bug errors at the moment though. As soon as I loaded up the previous version, the Current fight comes back.

How did you get it to even do that? Mine goes to Current Fight every time I enter combat and remains there, updating with each new fight segment. I want it to default to Total all the time, just like you, but I would settle for it going back to Total after each fight if I could get that.

Feature Request: Making your threat in the threat window (if displayed) to display color depends on threatlevel (green if low threat, red if high threat).

Bar Texture keeps resetting to Glamour5 (one of the ones I have installed)when I want it to stay on a different one. Every time I log out it goes back to Glamour5. Any ideas?

**EDITED TO ADD** I found out it was Skinner doing this.
