Fiend Damage Meters

Version: 4.0.0-beta2

by: zariel [More]

Fiend - Damage Meters

I started raiding and wanted to see how my damage compared to the rest of the raid, my old damage meter Violation is great, does everything I want it to but it still uses Ace2. Which is the only addon which uses it so its pulling in huge dependencies which I dont want.

So I figured i'd write my own and keep it as simple as I can and not go crazy with features. Enjoy!

I recomend using LDB with some sort of display so you can access the menu to hide and show windows.

News

Latest version (3.3.3-7) Adds initial support for DPS! Please go test it and tell me how accurate it is. It tracks it while your in combat, ie hit something in the past 5 seconds. It resets AFTER you enter combat again, so you can view the meters. THeres a switch in core.lua to turn it off and have simple damage tracking back, as DPS is a bit of a hack around.

Features

Is able to track:

Damage
Healing
Overhealing
DPS

Simple Design
No External Libaries
Low Memory usage
Flexible design
No in-game config
LDB Feed

Also the config is all in core.lua

Config
Here is an example of how to use it, all in core.lua:73.

Code:

	-- Displays are the windows
	local win = self:NewDisplay("main")
	-- View syntax:
	-- Display:NewView(String name, String[] events, int barSize, int[]
	-- headerColor, int[] barColor)
	-- Only name, events and size are required.
	local damage = win:NewView(L["Damage"], {
		"SWING_DAMAGE",
		"RANGE_DAMAGE",
		"SPELL_DAMAGE",
		"SPELL_PERIODIC_DAMAGE",
	}, 16, { 0.6, 0.2, 0.2 })

	local heal = win:NewView(L["Healing"], { "SPELL_HEAL", "SPELL_PERIDOIC_HEAL" }, 16, { 0.2, 0.6, 0.2 })

	local overHeal = win:NewView(L["OverHealing"], { "SPELL_HEAL", "SPELL_PERIDOIC_HEAL" }, 16, { 0.2, 0.6, 0.5 })
	overHeal.overHeal = true

Aschker A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 105 Uploads: 1	Like the concept, nice and small and still an interface instead of just a damage report(like damagereport does :P) but the values this mod tracks differ great (2-3%) from what recount counts and what damage report counts. The damage is always close, but for some reason the dps calculations is really different. On a fight lasting 15 seconds when just living bombing 4 targets the dps output was only half of that what recount and damagereport said, and the damage was like 50% off. Any idea? I know you said the dps track isnt that good, but when doing about 1million damage, it sometimes differs over 100k from recount and damagereport (those 2 allso differ, but thats within the 10k margin everytime on me.)

Having used pretty much all damage meters available I believe you'll find Skada is pretty much the closest replacement for Violation these days. It's the one I now use and I too liked Violation a lot.

Skylinee A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 371 Uploads: 0	Keep it as simple and lightweight as possible, and the option to spawn more than one window (or an option to auto-switch to ''Current Fight'' whenever entering combat, and then switching back to show overall damage when out of combat). Also tooltips on the bars showing which abilities are used for each player (will increase memory usage though). Last edited by Skylinee : 04-10-10 at 11:23 AM.

Sec A Cyclonian Forum posts: 48 File comments: 177 Uploads: 0	In testing so far, I have not come across any errors (with default error logging turned on). Thank you so much for releasing an update. As per feature requests, I will post here, and cross-post in the feature request form. ^^" 1) If there is a way to truncate server names (to save space), an option for this would be greatly appreciated. A simple true/false at the top of the .lua file would be sufficient, to keep memory usage down. ^^" 2) A DPS mode would be awesome. In comparing, I see that the DPS values are rather off compared to something like Skada (and I am sure Skada differs from Omen). So, if it would not be too much effort to make DPS more accurate, and allow us to view a DPS mode, I would be greatly obliged. 3) I second Skylinee's suggestion for spawning more than one window, or auto-switching to "current fight". Hopefully, this would not take up too much memory. Finally, I had a couple of questions. I am trying to alter the appearance slightly. 1) I cannot figure out what line(s) I'd need to change to make the graph bars thinner as I had changed the font face and size. May you please advise me? 2) Likewise, what line(s) would I need to change to thin the red title bar? Thank you so much for providing the fix and further, for maintaining work on this addon.

zariel A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 95 Uploads: 14	Im going to refactor a lot of the code to implament that, I will get round to it. I know the DPS is inacurate but I dont know why, all it does is this. OnUpdate every 0.1 seconds (was throttled but now isnt) we loop through all bars and check if that unit is affecting combat, if yes we add the time since last update. The DPS is then calculated by total damage / timeInCombat. I cant see how Skada does it from a quick look. The red bar is part of the background defined at core.lua:92 The bar size is set during the init of the display, its the second arg to self.Display, eg at core.lua:152 Last edited by zariel : 04-19-10 at 06:49 AM.
