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.

Reset your data and it should be fine. The Deaths module was changed around a bit and old (pre-4.1) data confuses it.

It seems that skada is not saving the border thickness for my windows. It defaults them to 16 no matter what I do.

Could you bring back the feature that changed between different reports every couple of seconds?

you selected which ones you wanted it to show and it would toggle every 15 seconds or so.

that was a very nice feature.

Is there a reason that death log takes up 8 mb?

Update fixed the frame rate issues. But now it seems that pet damages is not being recorded? Neither my imp nor felhunter are included in my damage done.

Change line 1661 in Skada.lua to this:

function Skada:COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED(event, timestamp, eventtype, hideCaster, srcGUID, srcName, srcFlags, dstGUID, dstName, dstFlags, ...)

hi, is it possible to make skada able to view the spells that are interrupted? not just the number of interupts, but detail of who interrupted which spells.

Is there any way I can link the damage meter numbers into chat without typing them?

All you have to do in that case would be to look at the last 10 second report for their death in recount... if they're taking melee from the boss or damage from a mechanic they're failing to, it will show it.

Looking back at the last 10 seconds of life after the fact is absolutely nothing like watching damage taken per second in real-time. You obviously didn't get what Zakaluka15 was talking about.
