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.

Reporting issues
Suggestions and bug reports here. Bug reports in comments will be deleted.
My concerns: most of the time it shows more DPS done say over recount, its close many times, other times it could be off 200dps more. Its always more as well, its never shows less dps than recount.
Also, please bring back command line reporting, so much easier to whisper someone /skada report [Name] then dig around the menus.
I have made a new report ticket. I see there are comments below here that show it as fixed; it was not so as of the current release version for me last night.
Can we add a command :
/skada report groupe
/skada report wisp %n
And the other to report with a command in the chatt.
Thx a lot =)
I like to see how many of my healingspells have critted.
Return command line report options please.
(Like /skada report raid)
It's takes a much time to go a lot of sub menu's and check a lot of things.
Or make clickable text [Skada] to title, which will popup report window, where you can check anything without travel to submenu's (like Report window in Recount)
And little question, it's okay when I reset a big data after Naxx, Skada still takes 2.50mb of memory? Just wondering.
Anyway this addon are great, using it from early versions :)
"Self" check mark bug Please change Skada.lua in Line 1074
info.checked = (Skada.db.profile.report.channel == "Self")
bug fix for Report(1.1-3)
Whisper bug fix in Skada.lua line 1009 change to Skada:Report(report_channel, Skada.db.profile.report.chantype, Skada.db.profile.report.mode, Skada.db.profile.report.set, Skada.db.profile.report.number)
Custom channel bug fix in Skada.lua line 1096 replace with
local list = {GetChannelList()} for i=1,table.getn(list)/2 do info.text = list[i*2] info.checked = (Skada.db.profile.report.channel == list[i*2]) info.func = function() Skada.db.profile.report.channel = list[i*2]; Skada.db.profile.report.chantype = "channel" end UIDropDownMenu_AddButton(info, level) end
and in Skada:Report function add these under "function Skada:Report(channel, chantype, report_mode_name, report_set, max)"
if(chantype == "channel") then local list = {GetChannelList()} for i=1,table.getn(list)/2 do if(Skada.db.profile.report.channel == list[i*2]) then channel = list[i*2-1] break end end end
Thanks for the great work! I just replace Recount with it!!!
but know i can at least select someone who to whisper/report to, but nothing happens again. i'm sure your on the right way ;)
and again big up 4 that nice piece of work
very nice addon and i'm glad to see the new changes, e.g. whisper report. But you kinda screwed the report function so it wont report at all :(
Keep up with that nice work ;)
tested 1.1-1 today.
no errors
its really coming together, nice work. I know a couple of items that I need have already been planned by author or others have suggested, but I thought I would do a simple side by side with results from Skada and Recount.
RECOUNT SKADA
Suggestions or Enhancements:
Thanks for the above considerations,
and keep up the good work.
p.s I am a nub at forum formatting; tried to get the table to align (sigh)
