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.

Skada does not sync, no. I don't think it is needed either, as the combatlog range is enough these days.

You can report to guild/officer/raid/party with this syntax:

/skada report raid

Add a number to limit the number of lines spammed.

In the next version you can also report to any channel or player.

Pets are merged, yes. The pet detection is not 100% though as of yet.

I was in love with Assessment back in the day, its comprehensive breakdown of fights and accuracy was truly mind boggling when compared with the clunky interfaces of every other option.

Some suggestions to bring it up to par with that mod (and your well on your way to a fantastic meter mod);

-Breakdown of hit/miss/crit (i.e: heals that hit for normal/heals that crit one step deeper then the existing break down of what types of heals were used)
-Apply Colors to dmg type or hit/crit colors for dmg/healing.
-An additive chart combining overhealing + actual healing for total healing.
-Multiple window support.

Has merge pets been included in the latest build? That's the only thing keeping me from using it at this time.

Sorry, by current revision I meant the as of yet unreleased version I'm working on. :)

The most current (development) version can always be found on Curse's sister site, wowace.com.

Awesome addon. The memory usage is excellent. I'll continue to use Recount but if you decide to implement a "merge pet with owner" option, I'll drop Recount like a bad habit and start using this.

Very nice work. Please keep it up.

I like this mod a lot but 1 thing that i cant get past is that it wont merge my fire elemental or some hunter pets with the owner. Is there a way u can merge these?

I tried it yesterday, it works great! I love the 'fail' mode to quiclky see who stupidly dies on void zone for Sarth3d ;)

fews things:
-For the fail bot, could you add the 'overdamage' condition, to check who dies on event? the fail bot register all relevant events, even the not lethals ones

-Boss are not recognized, at least in french (frFR) i checked the code, i saw you are using the 'worldboss' tag for Uint, it seems in french it's just 'boss'. Maybe you could use BigWigs events to check this, instead?

There is an option to display detailed numbers in 1.0-5 (condensed is still the default).

You can report to guild, raid, party in addition to /say in 1.0-5.

Excellent mod. Has already replaced the memory hog that is Recount. Keep up the good work.

A few suggestions...

1. The option to display a non-rounded number. (12643 instead of 12.6k)
2. The ability to report to more than just /say.
