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".

This version of Skada is updated for World of Warcraft: Midnight and uses Blizzard's new session-based combat systems.

Posted Dec 2, 2014I turned off "Save only Boss Segements" and now it saves everything. I wish I could get it to save only boss segments again.

Posted Nov 29, 2014Anyone else having the problem where the skada box moves itself? I'll put it in the bottom right corner, change toons, and it's on top of the mini map. I'll move it on that toon to the bottom right corner, change back to the original toon i was on and it's back on top of the mini map... Yes, I've "locked" the window when I place it and no there is no one specific character it does it on, it does it on all of them. Started doing this in 6.0 and have been waiting to see if there's a fix since then. Please help! :[

Posted Nov 29, 2014Developer or developers her "skada" and simply a masterpiece, and I come again with another idea to leave your finest addon. Any chance of putting a toggle option on and off for each window to keep your perssonagem at the top and the rest of the list as soon continue down normally 1> 2> 3> ...
Thank you !!!!!

Posted Nov 27, 2014Hi, is there any way Skada would also include absorbed damage on npc?
Neither of the following absorbs are being recorded on <Healing> Training Dummy in Garrison, while they are recorded with recount:
Power Word: Shield,
Divine Aegis,
Spirit Shell,
Clarity of Will.

Posted Nov 24, 2014Hi there, love the damage meter, and have used it for quite a while. As others have noted below however, with 6.0 it has stopped saving boss segments. This is due to a change in GUID format, where it's now a plaintext string, not a hex string. I made the below change to my local copy, and it's saving boss segments again:
This is not the only change necessary for recognizing WoD bosses however; most of the IDs in LibBossIDs for WoD Dungeon bosses are incorrect, as were some MoP encounters. I'll have a final list of those ready in a couple days, and post it both to the LibBossIDs project page, and here if you'd like it.
Enterprising readers could update their own files by using this script:
/script print(UnitGUID("target"):sub(-16, -12))in a macro while targetting a boss, then edit Skada/lib/LibBossIDs-1.0/LibBossIDs-1.0.lua to include "[#####] = true," somwhere between line 31 and the '}' at the end, where ##### is the number that macro gave you.

Posted Nov 23, 2014Been having an issue lately where Skada will not keep boss segments and only shows current fights. Once I go to the next fight the previous numbers are lost in the nether.

Posted Nov 22, 2014For some reason, Skada will "disappear" when I zone into a WoD dungeon. /skada toggle does nothing, but /skada toggle a 2nd time shows it. It also does not save any boss damage (clicking on the Segment Icon only shows Total and Current options)
not sure what the issue is? Any non-WoD zone shows and keeps fine. Not sure how to maybe reset skada without deleting my whole WTF folder which I don't want to do?
