Skada Damage Meter
Skada Damage Meter
Skada is a modular damage meter for World of Warcraft with various viewing modes, segmented fights, and customizable windows. It is designed for efficiency with minimal memory and CPU impact.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".
Midnight Edition (WoW 12.0+)
This version of Skada is updated for World of Warcraft: Midnight and uses Blizzard's new session-based combat systems.
Features
- Midnight Optimized: Uses Blizzard's internal session data for performance and accuracy.
- Combat Reliability: Handles modern combat data restrictions for a stable experience.
- Updated UI: Includes new presets with smooth animations, gradients, and textures.
- Dynamic Elements: Alternating row colors, highlight overlays, spark effects, and icon scaling.
- LDB Integration: Compatible with Data Broker displays such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, and ElvUI.
- Extensible Architecture: The API allows developers to create additional plugins.
Usage
Getting Started
A default window is created upon first load. Access the configuration menu by clicking the cog icon on the window title bar or via the minimap button. Select Configure to access settings.
Multiple Windows
Skada supports multiple windows. Create new ones under the Windows section of the configuration panel. Windows can be:
- Bar: The standard customizable meter.
- Inline: A horizontal line for custom UI setups.
- Data Text: For LDB displays and minimal setups.
Navigation
- Left-Click: View more detailed information.
- Right-Click: Return to the previous view.
- Mousewheel: Scroll through lists.
- Tooltips: Hover over bars to see additional context and shortcut keys (e.g., Shift-click for targets).
Themes
Manage window designs with the built-in Theme Engine. You can import and export themes by using theme strings.
Versions
- Midnight (Default): For WoW 12.0+ using the Native API.
- Classic Version: The version for older WoW releases.

Posted Jan 26, 2017Love this addon. Thanks for all your work. Any chance you can add an "External Healing Required Per Second" category? This would track healing taken minus overhealing and minus self-healing/absorbs divided by time in seconds.

Posted Jan 25, 2017Is there any way to disable the new notification system (either in Skada or in libnotify's options)? Couldn't find it anywhere.

Posted Jan 25, 2017Did you restart the game after updating Skada? If not, try that. If you are using "Install Dependencies Separately" in the Curse app, try disabling that.

Posted Jan 26, 2017I didn't make any updates, i think it started happening after i disabled some modules and no i don't use "install dependencies seperately". That option only creates a complete mess. i'll try a reinstallk of 1.6.4 with all modules active, and try over the weekend to see if i can narrow things down

Posted Jan 29, 2017I found your problem because I had this issue as well. In your embeds.xml file, you are using Include for the .lua files instead of Script. Changing the two lines to use Script lets it load the dependencies just fine. You probably aren't seeing the issue because you're already loading LibNotify elsewhere beforehand.

Posted Jan 18, 2017When Legacy of the Windrunners proc in my MM hunter rotation (from Aimed Shot), the strikes register as Aimed Shot damage. It would be nice to have them as separate damage.

Posted Jan 15, 2017Well, I feel silly because I'm sure I must know the answer to this. I can't seem to fix this tho.
I reinstalled Skada and the window is stuck at the top right of my screen. There is no way to move it and the title bar is off the top of the screen, so I can't grab it to move. I've relogged several times and done whatever I could think of, but no luck. Can anyone help me figure out how to move it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
