Skada Damage Meter

409 - Better Metrics / Stacked Bars

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

I propose to merge several metrics using "stacked bars".

  • Healing + Overhealing → Healing (2 Stacks)
  • Damage taken + Absorb and mitigation → Damage taken (3 Stacks)
  • Damage taken by spell + Absorb and Mitigation → Damage taken by spell (3 Stacks)

Stack elements of a bar should have less saturation and/or brightness from left to right. The idea is pretty much stolen from Ask Mr. Robot - see attached mockup image to get the idea :-)

How could this be done?

  • Add "Stack" support to SpecializedLibBars (4 vertices per stack element, fiddling with uv-coordinates, some HSV color math to derive colors)
  • Allow storage of arrays in window.dataset[nr].value (fallback: simple value)
  • merge modules, as specified above

    Something similar exists for "Total healing" already. It would be your Healing+Overhealing, but I don't think overheating should be added to the normal Healing mode.

    Could definitely be added to Damage (damage by normal means, absorbed damage).

    Healing + Absorbs would work.

    Damage taken it would work nicely for. Also the Enemy damage taken/done modes.
