Skada Damage Meter

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 Graphs: Adds graph display systems to Skada
Skada DPSplusHPS: Useful add-on for Disc Priests.
Skada Chat Frame Integrator: Integrates Skada in any chat frame.
SkadaScroll: Provides additional options for scrolling the bar displays
Skada Avoidance and Mitigation: Helps tanks benchmark their damage reduction performance via avoidance and mitigation
Skada for Tanks: Adds information useful for evaluating a tank's performance
Guild Skada High Score: Let's you compare a guild's performance.
Skada_FriendlyFire: Display friendly fire damage done by players
Skada Player Score: Generate combined performance scores for players.

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".

Due to the way the total bar is implemented (sums up whatever the primary value for a mode is), currently this is not possible. You will have to go to the DPS mode for this.

pikadude1006 A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 23 Uploads: 2	Can the option to change the number of bars shown be readded? The new scale option doesn't quite fit well into my UI compared to the previous version where I could limit skada to show a total of only 12 bars. EDIT: It would appear this option hasn't been removed, only moved. Didn't quite get that from the change log, maybe write that out a bit clearer? Last edited by pikadude1006 : 08-15-11 at 12:54 AM.

In 2 try I was even at 125% overheal, may be also the heal hyme was counted as overheal for me. May be this is only because I'm shadow, just wanted to give a head up for this.

do i have to reinstall the addon or sumthing ?

thanks !

I've been having this same issue since the update last week.

The sizing is messed up. It's not locking where I want it to be on both the windows I use. It took 10minutes for me to finally get the healing window sized to fit the panel it lives in. The damage window is still being stubborn and will not stay locked no matter what i do to the rest of the sizing, scale and bar options.

Please help, this is extreeeeeeeeemly annoying! Thnx

tordenflesk A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 213 Uploads: 0	Any chance of font flags being implemented? White text on bright bars is just not acceptable. I've been able to "hack" it in by adding Code: , "OUTLINE" to certain parts of Bardisplay.lua, but this seems to either break or have Skada behave oddly in later versions. A little dropdown with Shadow, Outline and monochrome etc. can't be that much off a hassle would it? Last edited by tordenflesk : 08-19-11 at 11:33 AM.

May be this is only because I'm shadow, just wanted to give a head up for this.

This is caused by the formula Skada uses to track overhealing, which, after seeing values of over 100% in PuG after PuG, I've concluded is wrong.

The formula can be found in Interface\AddOns\SkadaHealing\Overhealing.lua at line 51. By default, the line reads:

Code:

string.format("%02.1f%%", player.overhealing / player.healing * 100), self.metadata.columns.Percent

I've changed it to:

Code:

string.format("%02.1f%%", (player.overhealing / (player.healing + player.overhealing)) * 100), self.metadata.columns.Percent

and it seems to work properly. As an aside, I'm sure there is a variable for total healing, but I wasn't sure what it was, so player.healing + player.overhealing will have to do for now.

EDIT: It occurs to me that the way Skada was generating overheal percentages is not necessarily wrong, just a different way of looking at it.

My formula shows overhealing as a percent of your total healing output. As in, out of all the healing you put out, the shown percentage was wasted.

The original formula shows overhealing in relation to your healing. For example, 100% overhealing would mean you overhealed as much as you healed. At 200%, you overhealed twice as much as you healed, and so on.

Just a personal preference thing I guess, though my formula makes more sense to me.

I run addon light, but like have skada, but with my current sad computer I lag terribly when large numbers of adds pop and the whole raid goes AOE happy. Not the end of the world, but would love some sort of throttling method either, I can just have it turn skada data collection off completely on detecting certain bosses, or something so I can have all the bells and whistles for 95% of the game, without being crazy laggy on the other 5%. Anywho, thanks for the awesome addon.

Have you tried turning off all modules you are not using? While Skada´s main addon will still listen for the same events, processing and memory usage of those events will then be kept to a minimum.

Cobaltius A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	If I set Skada to DPS mode to monitor my dps it works fine for a while then just resets itself to no mode and I have to change it back to DPS. It is very annoying when I have to do it several times during a raid or dungeon run what would cause this?
