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.

Loving Skada so far. :) One question ... I was really looking forward to automatic mode switching (awesome idea BTW), but I don't see a threat mode on the mode list in 1.2-30, nor do I see a separate module to download for it?

Fire elemental is still listing as a separate entity of damage when it should be added on to the Shaman's damage.

Having the same problem as others ... segments not saving, only current and total. Tried to find Boogi78's fix and couldn't seem to find it. Will this be fixed in the future? Thanks for all the work, great addon :)

I can't seem to be able to get rid of the spark effect on the bars. I've unticked the box, but they're still there.

To fix Skada not saving segments you need to modify line 1778 in Skada.lua

if not self.current.gotboss and boss.BossIDs[tonumber(dstGUID:sub(7, 10), 16)] then

(Old was dstGUID:sub(9, 12))

Heya!
I did a comparison between a World of Logs combatlog report and the Skada report for the same fight (Lich King hc, very static). It turns out that Skada shows 0 healing done by Powerword shield and Divine Aegis, while the WoL log shows 12M and 2.5M healing done by those spells. However this was done on oct 27, have there been any changes in showing these heals in the newest update?

I have a question about this mod. My recount for some reason keeps turning off the damage display and merge for my pet (I'm a hunter) so I downloaded Skada, and really love it. The thing is, I can't really tell if it's counting my pet or not. When I send the pet in alone to attack (to see how much DPS it does on its own) it does not show on the skada DPS meter. Anyone know if its maybe just an option in skada I have setup incorrectly? Thanks in advance!

There are no individual segments to be selected. Only All fights and current fight.

I have the exact same problem, I would love to know whether this is an issue with Skada or the boss-lib.

I just wanted to say thank you for this mod.

I had been using recount for a long while but hated how it hogged up so much memory... and looked terribly ugly as well. I appreciate how you took the time to let us edit the general look and feel of the meters.

Best of luck :)
