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 Feb 26, 2015Sometimes my skada mysteriously dissapears, refuses to come back up untill i reload, even clicking the minimap button wont bring it back up, no errors found.
It is a custom skada window and i deleted the original.
Using dbm(and expansion add's), bartender4, auctionator, atlasloot, ackis, postal, sexymap, acheivments reminder and master plan.
Everything is set to be updated to the latest Alpha and everything is fully updated, has been happening since 6.1

Posted Feb 20, 2015The "hide in combat" and "hide when solo" options do not play well together, since with "hide in combat" on, the window appears when combat ends even if you're ungrouped and have "hide when solo" on too.
I know the Curse description says that bug reports should go to WowAce and not here, but there's already a 5-year-old unaddressed ticket for the issue (http://www.wowace.com/addons/skada/tickets/120-window-appears-after-combat-even-though-it-is-set-to/), so I didn't want to make a duplicate one.
It's an easy fix: add "and not (self.db.profile.hidesolo and not IsInGroup())" to Skada.lua:1385.
I've made the change locally and it works perfectly, but it'd be nice not to have to make it again with each update.
Thanks in advance!

Posted Feb 25, 2015When I do that, it only makes the window bigeer or smaller. The same number of bars (7) appear. Creatling a new window, I get several more bars, but don't see anywhere to change the number of bars visible there either.

Posted Mar 27, 2015I figured it out. If the window is unlocked, there is a drag icon in one of the corners. It's hard to see depending on your coloring.

Posted Feb 18, 2015One thing I noticed is that it doesn't start "recording" data when fight starts, but it goes only when I engage so people that were dealing damage/healing before I attacked weren't recorded... Is that a thing that others have or am I going crazy?

Posted Feb 14, 2015Hey, wonderulf addon I love it.
I was just wondering if it was possible for you to code the different types of meters such as the "tab" feature in a web browser. So i could click "DPS tab" Healing Tab" without having both meters on my screen... Just a suggestion.

Posted Feb 8, 2015Can you please change the Anchorpoint of the Frame to ParentUI or something similar? Or add a little dropdownmenu to choose the Anchorpoint?
I'm asking, because i'm currently playing on eyefinity, and Skada always changes it's position. Recount doesn't do that, but is not as awesome as Skada, and I really want to continue to use Skada.
Thanks

Posted Feb 18, 2015Yes, there is a way to do it, just open Interface, go to Skada, and somewhere there there's a option to change the bar color and layout.
Just can't remember right now where it is exactly...

Posted Feb 4, 2015For some reason when I set my Skada windows' position and lock them, then relog on my characters it moves the two windows to the top right hand corner of the screen on top of each other. It's really annoying. Any reason why this is happening? I tried removing all lua/bak files in WTF folder. It still does it.

Posted Jan 26, 2015Whenever I am in a group, and we queue together as a bg, when we get out of the BG, my skada doesn't reset or ask to reset. I've deleted my cache and reinstalled, and still experience this only if I'm in a group.

Posted Jan 28, 2015Well, this is pretty much a dealbreaker. I've asked many people, and no one seems to know how to fix this. Back to Recount.

Posted Feb 2, 2015You should delete all!!! lua/bak files regarding skada in wtf folder and check if you have any addon what could mess with skada window such as moveanything or blizzmove. Addon windows dont move without any reason, so something went bad with your skada settings or some other addon is messing with you.
