Damage meter for PTR

[Vook]

Are there any working damage meters for PTR? I've been googling like crazy but haven't been able to find a solution.

I've seen many streamers using Skada or whatever its called.

[MMOTotal]

I use Skada instead of Recount anyway and that works on the PTR for me. Works in the beta to.

Skada doesn't work on PTR. Downloaded it from Curse and it just...doesn't do anything. The little cogwheel menu bar works, but the window is just a thin bar and it doesn't show anything.

Report seems to work if I use the chat command, but the main window is nonexistent.

Hello everyone, didn't notice such a thread earlier, sorry if I missed one.

I've been successfully using a few macros to record my dps on the beta and it doesn't seem that many people are aware of it so thought I would share.

All credit goes to GhsCrysis and his video: here

Step one:

make 5 macros:
1)

/dump CreateFrame("Frame","f")
/dump tinsert(f,function(a,b,c)f[a]=b;c()end)
/dump f[1]("e",{'COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED','PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED','PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED'},function()for _,e in pairs({f.e[1],f.e[2],f.e[3]})do f:RegisterEvent(e)end end)

2)

/dump f[1]("s",function()f.c=UnitName("target")or"?"f[f.c]={s=GetTime()}print(f.c.." engaged!")Stopwatch_Clear()StopwatchFrame:Show()Stopwatch_Play()end,function()end)
/dump f[1]("f",function()f[f.c].f=GetTime()Stopwatch_Pause()end,function()end)

3)

/dump f:SetScript('OnEvent',function(_,e,_,g,_,_,s,j,_,_,_,_,_,a,_,_,b)if e==f.e[2]then f:s()end if e==f.e[3]then f:f()end if strfind(g or"","_DA")and f.c and 8>bit.band(j,15)then f[f.c][s]=(f[f.c][s]or 0)+(g=="SWING_DAMAGE"and a or b)end end)

4)

/dump f[1]("p",function(_,k)t=k or UnitName("target")or f.c;fd=(f[t].f or GetTime())-f[t].s f.o("DMG for "..t)for n,v in pairs(f[t]or{})do if strlen(n)>1 then f.o(n..": "..v.." ("..floor(v/fd).." dps)")end end end,function()f.o=SendChatMessage;end)

5)

/dump f:p()

Step 2: Target something. Click macros 1, 2, 3, 4.

Step 3: Dps the target, stopwatch will show the time. Once you're done, wait for stopwatch to stop.

Step 4: Once the stopwatch has stopped, click macro 5 and it will show your dps in /s.


Note that in the video description the author says his macros need some editing cause youtube doesn't allow > sign in the video description. I already put those signs where they are supposed to be, so you don't really need to change that, just look for this: (comment from the author) After you copy paste them look at them in game, in Macro 1 check the "PLAYER_REGEN_EN*ABLED" part. Look at the word ENABLED, make sure it isn't EN-ABLED. Then in Macro 2 check to make sure in the "Stopwatch_Play()end,function(*)en*d)" part the last word is "end" and not "en-d"

Recount alpha from wowace.com

The latest version of recount works just fine for me on 5.0 PTR.

Skada works, so does TinyDPS.
