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.

- Classic Version: The version for older WoW releases.

Posted Mar 8, 2009The command line version seems limited, the mmb version closes every time you make a change and I cant for the life of me report to channels, to whispers or to whisper targets, all of which would be very useful.
Otherwise, a damn fine addon, has replaced bloatcount in my ui. Keep up the dilligent and great work.

Posted Mar 8, 2009Tried this out again today, and the settings are still not applied when u log in a new char or retsrt the game. I have to go to settings and change something before it applies the textures and last but not least the LDB Data feed isnt working, it only shows n/a on my DockingStation. It would be also coll if it could remember what kinda data it was showing last time i played, because everytime i log in it defaults back to only show the current fight and not total fights, what i prefer.

Posted Mar 6, 2009You also do some testing in the parser (such as Damage.lua line 151) for:
Instead, you could simply use:

Posted Mar 5, 2009I was using the "Return after combat" option to switch to Threat while in combat and back to Damage when out of combat, are you saying that it will only record one or the other? I was hoping that this would replace both Recount and Omen, which I currently have set up to toggle visibility in the same way, but the damage meters is giving me no useful data :(

Posted Mar 5, 2009Do this: right-click a few times until you have a list of fight segments. Then click "Current". This fight segment will show the fight in progress. If, say, you are idling in Dalaran, this will instead show your last fight.
Now click on for example Damage. Enter a fight. Your meter should now switch to the mode you have set it to automatically switch to during combat, which is Threat in your case. Exit combat. Your meter should now switch back to Damage mode showing the fight you were just in.

Posted Mar 4, 2009The LDB seems to display a different dps than the DPS mode. Don't see why that would be the case. On my DK there was a 400dps discrepancy.
Also, having the title Skada, visible 99% of the time is pretty pointless. Whenever i exit combat, the LDB reverts back to the title, rather than just continuing to show the last clocked DPS, or whatever mode was selected, which seems more useful.

Posted Mar 4, 2009Keep up the excellent work, and please don't go away from the light weight, modular idea you have going here. If users want a recount clone then they should use recount.

Posted Mar 3, 2009Also there Sould be a different bar limit for damage/healing/threat and for the spell details. (if want to look at my spells I want so see all, not only the first 10 but I only want to see top 10 dmg meters i.E)
Making it scrollable would also be a nice solution.

Posted Mar 3, 2009Also I'm missing some more details then just crit and hits (maybe average damge etc)
to the problem mention below: if you enable "only keep boss fights" it will reset the data in "current fight" imidiatly after leaving combat. You can't take a closer look at it befor it is merged in in the "total" section.
remove "only current boss"-option, and everything works fine but you have a lot more data stored.
the report and reset functions should also be reviewed. it takes to much clicks/time.
I like the Addon an very well, but it can't really compare to recount right now
