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:


There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.
Suggestions and bug reports here. Bug reports in comments will be deleted. There is a page with API information here.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

So looking forward to trying this out tonight once I get home.

Been looking for an Assessment replacement for what seems like forever

Keep up the good work, looks very nice so far.

2) Data for individual fights now seems to save when logging or reloading the ui, but not the Total data.
3) When reporting, for some reason it reports the damage in the order 7,8,1,2,3,4,6,5. I only was able to test this in "Say".

Here's a very very weird thing that's happened. I ran Naxx, logged out, logged in, ran Vault, did a world PvP raid, and did some testing on a dummy. I probably typed "/skada reset" about 5 times. Then I logged out. Now, I just log back in, and all the data for the Naxx run is there. And now I can view "Debuff Uptimes" without getting an error. Not sure what happened there.

And a question about healing again. Does it only show "Effective Healing" for the HPS (as in only healing that wasn't counted as overhealing?).
All these issues are fixed in the next version.

The HPS is for effective healing.

The healing mode is also only showing effective healing. I'm not sure what the issue was for the person who reported massively lower healing than Recount; it looks pretty much identical to me.

Edit: the issue with the Total segment disappearing on relogging may still be around in 1.0-6.

Edit2: I can't reproduce the issue with Total segment. It works fine for me.

Thank you.
Saw a comment by Arrowsong on how this in CDW here:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download....html#comments
In Quartz (which have borderless icons):
icon:SetWidth(height-1)
icon:SetHeight(height-1)
icon:SetTexCoord(0.07, 0.93, 0.07, 0.93)
Btw, nice progress gonna test the new version of Skada asap.

Something I enjoyed in Assessment, that was mostly just for kicks when we ran runs, was the ability to display the top hits made by each person.

If you could add this, and maybe a top crits, that would be awesome. I know it's not really needed, and has no place in a damage meter, but it's still interesting to see who is getting the highest hits.

Edit: Also, if you could have it so when you click the title (or even set it up so you can define what happens) of the active window it is sent to your active channel.

Edit2: Or add some type of click-to-report option in the LDB/Minimap button!

Here's a screenshot of the Resisted thing that I'm talking about:
http://i43.tinypic.com/2nbagep.jpg
As you can see it shows a Resisted factor for direct damage and dot spells.

Also, when I right clicked as far back as I could, then select Total and then Debuff Uptimes, I get this error.

As for your comment about Healing. You mean that Skada only reports effective healing in the "Healing" section while recount just combines effective and overhealing and reports both in its "Healing" section?

The reverse growth option is included in the next version. The title astethics is on the to-do list.

Also, it seems that about 2 or 3 versions ago, the "Resisted" problem was fixed, but now I see "Resisted" in all my spells again.
The problem with "Only keep boss fights" will be fixed in the next version. The boss name detection did not work as expected.

As for Resisted, that is more odd, because it is not shown. Screenshot or it didn't happen!

1) Fails for "Total" don't show up. At least there was never anything displayed in this mode. When individual fights were selected, Fails were displayed.
This will be fixed in the next version. It also reported double in individual segments.

3) Regarding comparion to Recount for a large amount of collected data (ie. 4 hours of raid data), here's how it compares.
i) Damage is close, but far enough off that orders aren't the same.
ii) Healing seemed to be vastly different. Recount reported something like 11 million healing for one person, while Skada reported 4 million for the same person. This wasn't just for one person, but across the board. Orders were also very different (who was 1st, 2nd, and so on).

Request(s): An option to show HPS.
Don't quote me on this, because I don't have access to WoW right now, but it may be that Recount includes overhealing, while Skada doesn't. I'll have to check. I guess it would make sense, since overkill is included (in both Recount and Skada).

HPS will be added in the next version.
