Skada Damage Meter

Table of Contents

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".

Note: I took a tiny break from WoW (a decade), but recently started playing SoD. Be aware that this addon may not quite work yet.

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 easy to extend, and there were once many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality. However, there are unlikely to be any maintained ones currently.

There is a page with API information here.

One thing I did notice, maybe a bug. When I do /skada reset, or reset from the minimap button, the data disappears. But when I log out and log back on (whether it is the same character or another) the data is back.

Actually, its retaining one 25 man everytime I log on from two days ago. I reset it, log off, it comes back when I log on again.

It is really nice but i am missing a real report function. like "shift + right klick" and you get a menu where to report the damage to.

But this addon is whicked and good so hope you keep updating it. =)

Jeah nice job so far :)
But there seems to be something wrong with the "current fight" splitting: http://images.geforz.de/album/World of Warcraft/misc/WoWScrnShot_022009_225444.jpg But the Loatheb and Noth segments were just one fight.
And an overall dmg comparision between Skada and Recount for Naxx clear: http://images.geforz.de/album/World of Warcraft/misc/WoWScrnShot_022109_011929.jpg

REAllY GREAT JOB. Better than recount. Is it possible to add a 1 Click button to report? Not a biggie right now I just use macros to do it but would be nice. Either way GREAT JOB man please keep it updated. YOU ROCK.

Oh, I really like this.

New request: Last fight option, or dropdown of individual boss fights in a report.

this looks very interesting to me as a recount user, the only question i have is if skada has a sync option? i remember back in the day when recount didn't, and it was always so way off compared to sw stats that did sync.

Skada does not sync, no. I don't think it is needed either, as the combatlog range is enough these days.

You can report to guild/officer/raid/party with this syntax:

/skada report raid

Add a number to limit the number of lines spammed.

In the next version you can also report to any channel or player.

Pets are merged, yes. The pet detection is not 100% though as of yet.

I was in love with Assessment back in the day, its comprehensive breakdown of fights and accuracy was truly mind boggling when compared with the clunky interfaces of every other option.

Some suggestions to bring it up to par with that mod (and your well on your way to a fantastic meter mod);

-Breakdown of hit/miss/crit (i.e: heals that hit for normal/heals that crit one step deeper then the existing break down of what types of heals were used)
-Apply Colors to dmg type or hit/crit colors for dmg/healing.
-An additive chart combining overhealing + actual healing for total healing.
-Multiple window support.

Has merge pets been included in the latest build? That's the only thing keeping me from using it at this time.

Sorry, by current revision I meant the as of yet unreleased version I'm working on. :)

The most current (development) version can always be found on Curse's sister site, wowace.com.
