Addons and the damage meter

The meter that ships with the game

These labels were read from the live client’s English string table on October 27, 2026 (wenilla_bg.wasm?v=7553bc3a76db). That file’s menu text includes 0.120.5. This pass read the published strings. It was not a click through a running game, so anything the string table does not name is left out. Other guides still cite the last menu check, v0.123.0.

• Show Damage Meter (Options → Interface) is “the damage meter’s button on the minimap and its window.”
• Damage Meter on Top “keeps the damage meter over the level-up and jewelry cards, so you can check your damage while you pick.”
• The window’s labels in that file are Damage Done, Healing Done, Boss Damage and Party DPS. The string table does not define the Party DPS formula, so it is not invented here.

A community API note published with SurvivorsDragonUi on October 15, 2026 — older than this client, and not re-run for this page — describes Damage Done as one line per spell, pet, talent or item, with a talent or amulet proc marked so the game can show it in blue. It also says the meter window’s Reset changes that window only: the numbers an addon reads still cover the whole run. Healing Done in that note is health actually restored. Boss Damage is the last boss fight. Treat those details as that note’s account, not as a fresh playtest.

Install an addon in the browser

On wow.aethus.pl, open Options → AddOns. The page’s own hint, from the same string table:

• “AddOns are turned on or off for every hero and load at your next run.”
• Install AddOns — “Pick one or more addon .zip files. AddOns made for WoW 1.12 work.”
• An empty list says “No addons are installed.” Remove takes one out.

The install button is backed by the page script addons.js (same cache stamp). What it does:

1. Download the zip from the author’s own release. Leave it packed.
2. Choose that zip. One folder with a .toc of the same name, or a folder that contains a single .toc, becomes one addon named after the .toc. A GitHub “Download ZIP” that wraps Name-main/Name.toc still counts, when that is the only toc.
3. The page answers “Installed Name. It loads at your next run.” Installing the same name again replaces the old copy.
4. A zip with no toc answers “holds no addon (no .toc file)”. A compression method the browser cannot read names the file and stops.
5. Start a new run. The list is shared by every hero. Files stay in this browser (IndexedDB azeroth-survivors-addons, virtual folder /benilla-config/addons). They do not travel to another browser or to the Windows build, and clearing the site’s data removes them. Hero progress is a different file — export that save if you are moving your progress, not the addon.

Install an addon on the downloaded game

The same AddOns page on Windows or Linux says Open AddOns Folder, and “Put each addon’s folder (made for WoW 1.12) in {path}”. AZS Spell Meter’s README and 1.31 release stop at that button: the folder goes where it opens, and the path ends in AddOns/AZSSpellMeter/AZSSpellMeter.toc. SurvivorsDragonUi and Azerloot are the two that name the place benilla-config/AddOns beside AzerothSurvivors.exe. In every case the finished path is AddOns/AddonName/AddonName.toc, with the folder named like the toc. Then start a run — the same hint applies: every hero, next run.

The Windows download on this site only links the developer’s own archive. Addon zips stay on the author’s GitHub. Nothing on this page is a mirror.

Three author projects, read on October 27

Other addons exist. This table is only the repositories whose README and release page were opened for this guide. None of them was installed in a run here, and none of the release notes claims a test on 0.120.5. If the addon and the game disagree, the author’s newer release wins — do not treat the row below as a compatibility certificate.

Built-in numbers and an addon window

AZS Spell Meter’s README (main, read October 27) says its damage and each spell’s share come from the game’s own meter, so they match Damage Done. What it adds, by that README, is not a second tally:

• Kills per spell, and a proc shown on the spell that actually casts it. The author uses Pyroclasm as the example: Damage Done lists it alone; this meter puts that damage on Blast Wave.
• Its own DPS window, last 10 seconds unless you change it (5 seconds to 2 minutes). “Since the start” is the average for the whole run, or the whole boss fight. A ten-second burst and a whole-run average are different questions — keep the same window when you compare two runs.
• Reset clears the addon window only. The built-in meter keeps its numbers.
• While the addon’s window, its collapsed bubble, or an extra view is open, the built-in Damage Done meter is hidden. It returns when those are closed, if it was on.
• Party, in this addon, shows each hero’s damage and only while you are in co-op. The Party tab is hidden in a solo run. See the co-op guide for how a party is formed; that page does not cover meters.

If the window is off the screen, /azsm resetpos puts it back. /azsm shows or hides it. Deleting the addon folder does not clear a saved position — the author says the position is remembered across updates.

SurvivorsDragonUi can also draw the game’s totals (Damage Done, Healing Done, Boss Damage) from its own HUD. That meter is off until you enable it under /sdui. It is still the game’s numbers, in a different frame.
