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 Aug 29, 2012Go to project site (link) and download there. Curse takes a while (sometimes more than 24h) until the uploaded addon can be downloaded.
Especially bad for small fixes. Just check the wowace project site.

Posted Aug 28, 2012Hello... I understand that 5.0 just got patched tonight and no dmg meter (whether updated or not) is currently working. My question is, will you be updating Skada? It's an awesome add-on. Sorely needed. Thanks!

Posted Aug 10, 2012Skada is excellent but I am finding that in BGs it is not recording the dmg correctly. eg, I am a DK, but my dmg is a mix of other classes when I click through. The same is true of all other toon on the ally team.
Any ideas why this may be? It would be good to know what hits hardest.

Posted Aug 7, 2012Why dosent skada have the old interface anymore?, Was it to similar to recount?, now i only have one button to open options..
Trying to get used to the new one, it takes alot more getting used to, but i am Really missing the ability to swich encounters, right not it appears you can only look at the last fight or overall data.

Posted Aug 8, 2012I do not know what you mean by "old interface". The appearance has not changed in a long while, and you can easily configure it to look like it did in 2009 if you want to. If you only have one button then you have disabled the others.
If you only have "Current" and "Total" fight segments to look at, then it means you must be using the "save only boss segments" option.

Posted Aug 4, 2012About a week ago this stopped working along with recount, and I have no idea why. Cleared my addon folder/cache/and wtf, but no change. They both show up but record nothing. I downloaded tinydps and that works, but it doesn't do a fraction of the things Skada does. I use ElvUI for my major ui changes. Any suggestions?

Posted Aug 5, 2012I think there is a folder that saves some options, but i dont know which, because I once deleted an addon, and when I reinstalled it, it had the same options. Can't tell you the folder though.
By the way: Recount's Healing display doesn't work at all for me. (tried it recently)

Posted Jul 25, 2012Is there a way to disable the "class icons" on the lefthand side of the meters from this latest update? I try to keep my UI as minimalistic as I can and I find these superfluous.

Posted Jul 20, 2012Auto hide does not work in PvP, terribly annoying, kindly remove in subsequent versions. Tested on a problem the client is absolutely clean, with no add-ons except Skada 3 PCs, the problem remains.
