Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes. It is inspired mainly by Assessment, but also by Recount.
Skada sports segmented fights and detailed views, while being highly efficient with memory. This is accomplished by aggregating data on fight segments.
Skada is entirely modular; the modes listed below are all separate addons. Only the modes you load adds to the memory and CPU cycles used.
Features:
- Automatic mode switching when entering combat. For example, you can have Threat mode be shown in combat. Skada can switch back after combat ends.
- Specific fight segments can be kept indefinately.
- Multiple windows. Each window can be configured fully.
- Threat mode can warn on high threat.
- Modes: Damage done, DPS, Threat, Enemy damage done, Enemy damage taken, Healing, Overhealing, Total healing, Absorbs estimated, Damage taken, Dispels, Mana regen, Debuff uptimes, Failbot, and more.
- Reports can be done everywhere. For example, you can report a certain player's Debuff uptimes.
- Summary information for most modes (DPS, HPS, Fails, etc) in a LDB view/minimap button.
- LDB data feed can show personal/raid DPS or personal threat.
- Support for SharedMedia and Class Colors.
Usage:
At first a list of all the modes above are shown. Right-click to show the available fight segments. "Total" and "Current" should be there. After a fight a new segment will appear here. By left-clicking on a segment you choose what data will be shown in the modes. Left-click on "Current" to get back to the mode list. "Current" shows data for the active fight, or the last fight if you are out of combat.
Left-click on a mode, for example "Damage", to show that mode. Left-click again to show more detailed data. Not all modes have detailed data. Right-click to return back to your previous position.
Some modes have several detailed 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.
Click the top right button in the window, or SHIFT-right-click anywhere on the window, to open a menu. From here you can report data, reset data, and various other things. You can also report with /skada report.
You can configure Skada from "Configure" in the menu, or from the game's Interface->Addons->Skada window. You can create new Skada windows here and customize them. A popular feature is "Mode switching".
Data can be reset with /skada reset, from the menu, or by shift+left clicking the minimap/LDB button.
There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada. All suggestions and bug reports are very welcome. There is a page with API information here.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

warcraftic Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:27:12My main is a warlock and have a pet all the time. Skada Threat fires off constantly, so I turned it off when solo. However even in a 5-man, the flash/sound happens all the time - like's it's monitoring threat against my pet instead of the rest of the party. Is there a setting that fixes this? I had to disable all threat warnings as it got annoying.
Thanks!

ermethic66 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 11:01:00I have the same problem as Misanagi. I also tried to disable all other addons and still get errors, closing the WoW client. At some point i was in ICC25 and couldn't even login anymore until i disabled Skada completely. I think it somehow corrupts the saved data, so if i delete all skada files it's resolved temporarily. I LOVE this addon and i'd really like to keep using it, but for that i'd have to see this stability issue resolved.

Lakland Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:07:10Great Addon. If it had scrollbars so that I could see all 25 Raiders it would be even greater. Thank you for all your hard work.

Yes, if your computer can handle Recount it can surely handle Skada, which is lighter on both memory and CPU usage. I can not say what your problem is though. It is not a general issue at least, as I have never heard of it before.

Misanagi Thu, 18 Feb 2010 09:42:34Unfortunately it's just Skada. I've run several memory intensive mods at once and had no problem. Recount/Gatherer/Xperl all at once. No problem what so ever.
I'll try the new revision you released and see what happens.
edit: My PC isn't the best, but it should be able to handle this no problem. 2x 2.0g processors and 3gb of ram, plenty of hard drive space that's defragged and virus free.

Zarnivoop Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:03:44Misanagi,
Does it only happen with Skada? Ie, if you disable Skada and use tons of memory-intense addons, do you get crashes? Skada can not crash your game directly, as it like all addons just uses Blizzard APIs, but I was thinking your machine could have some memory issues perhaps.

Misanagi Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:44:39Hello.
I get a horrible problem with this mod that makes me crash sporadically during anything ranging from 5 mans to raids.
I've tried dropping a few of the modules I don't really need, debuff uptime, power, CC, fail reports.
I use the main Skada window and don't create any new ones. I generally have the window switch to threat mode during combat also.
Apart from changing font/bar sizes etc most of the configuration is default, save for only keeping boss segments.
I only use Bigwigs and EBB and I have tried using nothing but Skada but still run into crashes so I don't think its a mod conflict problem.
Has anyone experienced this problem and found a way to fix it?
I really do like Skada and would much rather use it than Recount, though this crash problem is not really letting me do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cyberian Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:53:52Had a situation last night where the DPS bars in a 5-man kept showing the same damage after switching from threat mode. Almost like it froze data for a while. I had to reset Skada then it did ok. Any idea what that was?
Same issue as xxyz below - doesn't swap from threat to dmg.
