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".

Posted Jul 8, 2012When i place and lock skada, then log out, skada moves itself ipwards a good portion when i log back in, on all characters. Does it automatically move out from underneath things? I have all the default elements hidden, but it looks like skada is trying to avoid being under the defrault blizz action bar.

Posted Jun 15, 2012I just compared Skada and Recount with each other I realized something strange.
The overall damage done was slightly different from recount. As I compared the value with the combat log I saw, that Skada sometimes misses the first autohit when I don't use an ability.
Can somebody confirm this?

Posted Jul 6, 2012Skada starts recording data when YOU enter combat. Recount starts recording when any PARTY or RAID member enters combat.

Posted May 9, 2012I don't see a bar width setting. It's overlapping a border texture I want to use.
Also, it would be cool to be able to change the class colors.
I looked through some code and found that you use RAID_CLASS_COLORS.
I'm not the greatest with reading code, but I understand that it calls the FrameXML/Constants.lua which defines RAID_CLASS_COLOR.
Can I just make a SKADA_CLASS_COLOR of my own inside Constants.lua that resembles the RAID_CLASS_COLOR, then change the rgb values in the new SKADA_CLASS_COLOR table and then change Skada.Classcolors to call SKADA_CLASS_COLOR instead of RAID_CLASS_COLOR?

Posted Mar 6, 2012I'm not sure if I had miss it, but if I didn't it would be nice to have an option supressing the question if I would like to Reset Skada, when I enter a new Dungeon or group for example. My poit is to have the option to make the reset automatic without any need of confirmation.
Skada really rules.
Thanks for the addon.
