Skada Damage Meter
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.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".
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.

Posted Aug 29, 2012Go to project site (link) and download there. Curse takes a while (sometimes more than 24h) until the uploaded addon can be downloaded.
Especially bad for small fixes. Just check the wowace project site.

Posted Aug 28, 2012Hello... I understand that 5.0 just got patched tonight and no dmg meter (whether updated or not) is currently working. My question is, will you be updating Skada? It's an awesome add-on. Sorely needed. Thanks!

Posted Aug 10, 2012Skada is excellent but I am finding that in BGs it is not recording the dmg correctly. eg, I am a DK, but my dmg is a mix of other classes when I click through. The same is true of all other toon on the ally team.
Any ideas why this may be? It would be good to know what hits hardest.

Posted Aug 7, 2012Why dosent skada have the old interface anymore?, Was it to similar to recount?, now i only have one button to open options..
Trying to get used to the new one, it takes alot more getting used to, but i am Really missing the ability to swich encounters, right not it appears you can only look at the last fight or overall data.

Posted Aug 8, 2012I do not know what you mean by "old interface". The appearance has not changed in a long while, and you can easily configure it to look like it did in 2009 if you want to. If you only have one button then you have disabled the others.
If you only have "Current" and "Total" fight segments to look at, then it means you must be using the "save only boss segments" option.

Posted Aug 4, 2012About a week ago this stopped working along with recount, and I have no idea why. Cleared my addon folder/cache/and wtf, but no change. They both show up but record nothing. I downloaded tinydps and that works, but it doesn't do a fraction of the things Skada does. I use ElvUI for my major ui changes. Any suggestions?

Posted Aug 5, 2012I think there is a folder that saves some options, but i dont know which, because I once deleted an addon, and when I reinstalled it, it had the same options. Can't tell you the folder though.
By the way: Recount's Healing display doesn't work at all for me. (tried it recently)

Posted Jul 25, 2012Is there a way to disable the "class icons" on the lefthand side of the meters from this latest update? I try to keep my UI as minimalistic as I can and I find these superfluous.

Posted Jul 20, 2012Auto hide does not work in PvP, terribly annoying, kindly remove in subsequent versions. Tested on a problem the client is absolutely clean, with no add-ons except Skada 3 PCs, the problem remains.

Posted Jul 8, 2012When i place and lock skada, then log out, skada moves itself ipwards a good portion when i log back in, on all characters. Does it automatically move out from underneath things? I have all the default elements hidden, but it looks like skada is trying to avoid being under the defrault blizz action bar.
