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 20, 2015I have been trying to use the buff uptimes for an accurate representation of trinket and proc uptimes but skada always seems horribly innacurate when compared to logs at the end of the night. Is there a way to improve this accuracy or maybe a more accurate addon for this or something. It is maddening to try and quickly check uptimes between multiple people between pulls (not much time at all) only to have inaccurate data.

Posted Aug 15, 2015I have two bugs with this addon and I tried fixing them myself, I dont know if this is the best way to do it though.
1: The tooltip sometimes covers the whole screen
Fix: In Skada.lua add GameTooltip:ClearAllPoints() to the dataobj:OnEnter() function
and the SetTooltipPositionFunction tooltip:ClearAllPoints()
2: If font outline is set sometimes names dont have it
Fix: In BarDisplay.lua at line 442 rename 'PLAIN' to 'OUTLINE'. There is probably a better way.

Posted Jul 17, 2015The fonts got all weird, with little cuts inside the letters. I tried changing font and font size, but the problem persists, I can't read the text normally.
Any idea?

Posted Jul 2, 2015Hi, is it possible to add an option to show pet damage along with the option that skada already has (merge pets with users) so we can actually know how much dmg a pet is doing and how much an owner merged is doing.. (recount has this option , but I'd rather like skada way much because of all other options)
Thanks

Posted Jun 28, 2015I am wondering how Skada handles Unstable Felshadow Emulsion healing? Does it add the leech healing to the trinkets owner log?

Posted Jul 23, 2015I don't think the leech goes towards hps unfortunately- it appears like a flat spirit trinket. It'd be great if the leech would go towards the healer's hps since in some cases this trinket is best in slot.

Posted Jun 25, 2015Currently Skada does not display damage done by the Mirror of the blademaster trinket to other Skada users, it's only visable for yourself. It does still show up on warcraft logs however.

Posted Jun 23, 2015hope you know that soul capacitor trinket from hfc counts double damage. it count absorbed part which is wrong. so damage in skada from every agility dps player with this trinket is highly inflated.

Posted May 15, 2015Hello, I was wondering if you could maybe add an option to change the color of the title? Like for example on elv UI the color of the General and Combat tab is blue, Maybe you can change the color of the title bar for skada to maybe some colors? If its not too much trouble. Thanks :)
