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.

Death.lua line:94 typo?
I am currently having problems with it not merging my pets stats with my own. Weather the box is or isn't checked.
edit: i have disabled all my addons excluding skada and its still showing me and my pet as two sources of damage on the meter. With and without the 'merge pets' option.
edit 2: i use curse client to install my addons and i have skada 'perfered release type set to alpha' if that helps any.
THis is hard one i'm afraid. Curse client -> get more addons -> skada -> install -> log into WoW.
Pfff that's hard one
why does this article not say how to install it?!!??!?? WTF...
dear skada maker some one help how to set up skada in game i can see skada in game but it dont recount my damage((((((((
It shows nothing in WotLK ToC 10man raid
Frst time user of Skada. Trying it in a LFR and after Spine wanted to see the Ultraxion DPS when came upon this error. Am guessing its due to players leaving and new ones joining.
This addon includes Firehawk Leggings set with its mirror image as party.
Thank you!
you can change under the following content?
Menus.lua
target = { "Whisper Target", "whisper"},->target = { L["Whisper Target"], "whisper"},
whisperbox:SetLabel("Whisper Target")-> whisperbox:SetLabel(L["Whisper Target"])
Add language file
L["Whisper Target"] = "密è¯ç›®æ ‡"

Sorry about that, looks like I missed the case of saved healing spells. Try r378.
@xingwang
Are you still seeing this? I thought my commit 3 days ago would have fixed it.

Hi, is it possible, that i can change the option, so that i see in "dps at the moment" to see only the max DPS. That means i can change it so that i see only the highest DPS. My problem is i can't an won't see every timme to skada. Only after the fight i see to skada, but as firemage my dps is falling and get lower and i see no time, whats my highest dps. Ok i can show "dps for all" but thats not what i want. I need to see my highest dps at every fight.
Thanks
Hide PVP doesn't work, I have to double check it to turn it off.
The latest version of Skada seems to be behaving oddly with regards to bar sizing. If I leave it on Total it's fine, but any individual segment sometimes displays with correct (or at least plausible) damage done, dps, and ranking numbers, but the bars don't fill across the entire window and the ordering of the bars themselves is haywire. If I try to display the Current fight segment, it displays differently based on what I was looking at previously - sometimes it looks fine and other times it's doing the same bar sizing/ordering weirdness. I've got a saved variables file I can send you if that would help.
I'm having some problems with skada - it does not record all of my dot ticks (as a Firemage). While comparing readings from both recount and Skada together for 5 minutes, Skada shows me to have done around 20,000 less damage than recount shows and therefore shows my DPS as higher. After testing using only living bomb on a raid target dummy, some of the living bombs that I applied would only have 1 tick of damage recorded by Skada (it does 5 ticks and an explosion with my level of haste). Though sometimes it would record all.
I have had issues with Skada interfering with my game causing severe FPS drops during certain boss mechanics in Dragon Soul and elsewhere. Only if I run Skada to measure DPS (and possibly damage done, but I never use the damage done option).
i cant get it i instal it and instal it but nothing happened and i see if i have addons but i had no addons :( can some ons say how??
