Skada Damage Meter  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.8.2
by: zarnivoop, funkydude, oscarucb

Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes, segmented fights and customizable windows. It aims to be highly efficient with memory and CPU.

Usage

When you first start using Skada, there will be a window created by default. This window can be extensively customized in Skada's configuration panel; click the little cog icon to access a menu, and then click Configure. Depending on your user interface, there may also be a minimap button allowing quick access to this menu.

Skada supports multiple windows. To create a new window, click Windows in the addon's configuration panel. There are three built-in types of windows - Bar, Inline, and Data text. Bar is the classic damage meter window, and is very customizable. Inline shows the meter in a horizontal line, which can be useful for integration in custom user interfaces. Data text shows just one item at a time, and can also be displayed by any LDB display addon, such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI.

In the normal Bar window, you can left click on specific items for more detailed information, and right click for less details. At the very "top" is the list of all saved fight segments. Some data modes have several detailed information views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can Shift-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.

You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.

Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.

Plugins

Skada is very easy to extend, and there are many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality, such as:


There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

Same for me is there a way to change the default. I would like to make it by default pick dps overall not just for the current fight, is there something we can change or do to pick the default. It's not that much of a problem yet sucks always having to remember to change it maunaly. Thanks in advance...

Question Current Fight vs Total Damage

Skada damage keeps automatically switching to Total Damage, rather than Current Fight. Any way to stop this from happening? Driving me nuts lol!

Skada prevents talent changes

Hello, very often when I change my talents between bosses, I get error saying that Skada has blocked some action allowed only to blizzard, and, basically if I want to continue I must unload Skada. This does not happen 100% of time, but reloading it backand forth is plain annoying. Sometimes I change 3 talents in a row and 2 first go fine, but third is blocked 'by Skada'.
I remember this was issue to other addons a while ago, but I recently limited number of addons I use and as of now, only Skada give me this problem.

example, you have a picture frame, and instead of displaying it correctly, you tape the picture over the entire frame so you couldn't see the frame at all. ya something like that let me know if you want a screenshot
Try adjusting Margin in the border options

Works fine for me under the (Windows) 64-bit client. I didn't change anything when switching between 32-bit and 64-bit either.
I am using 64 bit Win 7.
It displays no data for me either.
