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.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

Position issue

Hi!!!

So, this problem is quite simple, and I saw other people have it but didn't find a solution or reply.

It's just that every time I log off and back on, the skada windows change position.
No errors or anything...they just move. It's making me crazy.

What gives?

Thanks in advance!

Commented in the Wowace forum, but looks like people have been commenting there for a bit without replies.

Currently SKADA activates each time I enter a new zone, although I have it set to disable when solo. What gives?

When I want to see damage done to specific boss without the adds with him for example on garrosh, I wanted to see damage done only on garrosh and not its adds, so I put on "Enemy damage taken" then select garrosh, inside that list when I mousehover to see spell detail, it doesn't show. is that normal or is my skada bugging out? if thats normal, then how can I see spell detail for damage of a specific boss

Reseting position

Skada will reset the position I place it in every time I log out. Though it seems like a petty thing, I would like to know if there is a fix for this? I am afraid I cannot provide an error message as there isn't one.

Skada isn't properly resetting or at least asking me to reset when I enter a new instance. It's also not asking me when I group change. I have to manually reset it each time.

Hello.
I have the following issue with Skada: it works perfectly during every single combats measuring damage and dps, but at the end of them, when it should show the total damage done, usually after 2-3 fights it freezes and the total amount does not vary anymore.
I read somewhere that the problem may be related to the combat log, and I found the script that should unlock it, but nothing happens.
does someone else have the same problem?

This exact thing is happening to me and its real annoying except it disappears when combat ends and doesn't come back for the next fight. I have tried to disable and re-enable the hide functions with no success

Can we please have some more options for the skada texts ?
At the moment the only option is class colored text which is good but not enough.
Would be very nice to have option to change the text color on bars and title bar, as well as having the option to abbreviate the dps number on the damage section (e.g. instead of "126548.5" 126.5k or even 126k).

Just throwing this out there: Since 5.2 I had a problem with Skada that if I enabled the healing portion whenever a boss fight started it would lag my computer hard to the point of it crashing wow, It didn't prompt any lua errors but that is what it felt like. Even the newest version where the healing lua errors were fixed did this. To fix it I had to uninstall , remove all the config files and reinstall and that seems to have fixed it.

This is just for anyone else who may have this problem.

Hey, could you Add opacity feature like Raven addon. (was my suggestion) this
