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 Nov 7, 2016After recently switching from Recount to Skada, I realized Skada is superior in every way except that it lists the names without the realms, so you can't whisper the person if you forgot which realm they were on. So it shows "Painbow" instead of "Painbow-Mal'Ganis" like Recount does. Can this at least be an option to enable/disable? Show realm in player names or something. Then it's perfect.
Thank you!

Posted Nov 6, 2016When I have "Hide when solo" and "Hide in pvp" options checked, skada randomly activates itself. This is especially true on flight paths. I found that if I disable "Hide in PvP" (which then causes Skada to appear in PvP, which I do not want), the problem is fixed. However, I do not want Skada to show in PvP. Is there a fix for this?

The current fight segment is exposed as Skada.current. What's in there depends on what modules the user has active, though. Skada.current.players is what most modules use for storage.

Posted Nov 4, 2016Skada is currently resetting itself to a 'new fight' every minute or so while attacking a test dummy in spite of damage being consistent the entire time.

Posted Nov 2, 2016Is there a way to make Skada start recording things in "real time"? (the same way WarcraftLogs does) -- instead of only start recording when I do damage. Would be really awesome if there were some sort of option to change its style of recording since many would consider it to be more "accurate" (because it won't miss recording things like e.g. when the fire mage pulls and since you're melee and haven't attacked yet, it won't show/record the damage that the fire mage or hunter just did). Thanks!

Posted Oct 31, 2016Is there a way to see the "Incoming DPS" to each party member? As a healer I was wondering that maybe it would be useful to be able to see who is receiving the most damage in the last seconds, to see if a player could be left with a small HoT or if it needs a more aggressive healing.
I'm still trying to figure out if it make sense strategically speaking thought.

Posted Oct 31, 2016Does Skada provide a API for querying raid damage? I'm thinking of creating an addon to estimate fight duration, as I can't seem to find one and this is proving to be crucial for SPriests this expansion. If not, is there any chance this can be integrated into Skada?

Posted Oct 27, 2016They need to go into the config and check "Merge pets" under the "General Options" tab. Then all pet damage will be merged with the owner.

Posted Oct 31, 2016Merge pet is enabled, but I see both Hati under the hunters damage data, AND as a separate entity. And the data for the separate Hati and the Hati merged data on the hunter are not the same numbers.

It would be very helpful if you supply combat log of this, along with rough pointers on when it happens.
