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.

Reporting issues

For now use comments.

Could you please add an option to display spec icon, instead of role or class icon? I want to be able to see if people are Frost, Fire, Arcane etc.

When turning off the merge pet option while playing demonology warlock, the vilefiend damage does not register at all, even under your character or as a pet, only shows when merge pet is active

It doesn't show the server the player is from, even tho there is a lot of empty space for it. That's my biggest concern with the addon. There isn't even a setting to add the server from what I can see. That's a *huge* downside of this addon vs for example recount.

Hi, would it be possible to add Spec icons? I see the class and role options but not spec.

Thanks.

My windows reset their positions every time I log in. I lock them in the position i want them in, and they always reset, and lock, at the top right of my screen. Anyone know a fix for this?

***Hunter Animal Companion Bug***

I updated to 1.7.5 which claims to have fixed the Hunter Animal Companion bug, but it is still not combining the damage of the animal companion pet. Merge pets is obviously not working as intended.

I took a screenshot for proof - https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-teYkuG5xA5U/W3SRr-owjFI/AAAAAAAACuI/onZW0BRgPLgdXz1t934idHWcPmTB-dYGwCLcBGAs/s1600/SKADA%2BANIMAL%2BCOMPANSION%2BISSUE.png
