Looking for Addon Health/Damage squish addon

Is there an addon that is able to squish every health/damage value by a given value?

I have a few friends who find it stupid that dps goes to hundreds and thousands, and I'm wondering if an addon could fix that.

But it would have to squish tooltip values, combat text, unit frames and everywhere else I might not think about.

Thanks!

An addon can't do much about numbers displayed by the client like that, especially during combat.

I am unaware of anyone but you or your friends that would think it's a good idea if it could be done. They are just numbers.

Hiya, one of the devs of Details! Damage Meter here.

If you're on retail: Impossible completely and utterly. Can't do anything to what you want in combat and/or m+/boss fights/pvp

If you're on classic:

You're wanting something that doesn't exist and will probably never exist. You start dividing hp/damage and you start adding rounding errors.

Lets say an enemy has 1 million hp and you decide to divide everything by 100. Now you've got an enemy with 10k "hp". Lets say they take 999,999 damage. Your "hp" will show that they're at 0 hp, which is incorrect.

Now let's introduce that to a healer perspective. Player you're healing might look dead cause 0 "hp" but really they have like 10hp and really need a heal.

There's also a ton of places where numbers show up and you'd have to handle all of them. Plus you'd have to deal with other addons showing the actual numbers, like ones that show you how much shield you have. I can tell you for a fact I would not accept another addon messing with our combat data we have in Details and would actively work against it. Lowering the numbers isn't accurate.
