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.

Awesome addon. The memory usage is excellent. I'll continue to use Recount but if you decide to implement a "merge pet with owner" option, I'll drop Recount like a bad habit and start using this.

Very nice work. Please keep it up.

I tried it yesterday, it works great! I love the 'fail' mode to quiclky see who stupidly dies on void zone for Sarth3d ;)

fews things:
-For the fail bot, could you add the 'overdamage' condition, to check who dies on event? the fail bot register all relevant events, even the not lethals ones

-Boss are not recognized, at least in french (frFR) i checked the code, i saw you are using the 'worldboss' tag for Uint, it seems in french it's just 'boss'. Maybe you could use BigWigs events to check this, instead?

Excellent mod. Has already replaced the memory hog that is Recount. Keep up the good work.

A few suggestions...

1. The option to display a non-rounded number. (12643 instead of 12.6k)
2. The ability to report to more than just /say.

There is an option to display detailed numbers in 1.0-5 (condensed is still the default).

You can report to guild, raid, party in addition to /say in 1.0-5.

Downloaded r41 and played around with it on a target dummy alongside Recount. I'm very excited about seeing a finished product, or even a beta. Any plans to implement mouseover tooltips for damage breakdowns? For example: hit/crit/dodge/parry on a specific attack. The drill-down style is great, but at the level of detail given in the breakdown by skill, it's a lot faster to glean information (and particularly compare numbers) by a simple mouseover rather than having to click twice.

andy52005, I have enabled the localization feature for Skada now, so you should be able to translate it from here.

Looks very promising so far! I loved the way Assessment displayed the data and the left/right klicking thing.
However I would like to have a fixed window size with a background which reacts to right-clicks and scrollbars if there are too many lines instead of just the title bar when there is no data available.
Looking forward to the next versions.
