Due to extensive changes, nearly all text in Ellipsis was altered rendering language translations for anything but English inaccurate. Anybody willing to take on the task of translating the mod (and the options especially) into other languages, please PM me and we can sort out getting the mod translated once again. Thanks!
Ellipsis (indicating omission)
Typography - A mark consisting of three periods, colloquially known as 'dot-dot-dot'.
Ellipsis is an addon that features multi-target aura tracking for spells that you (and your pet) cast on others. Additionally it keeps track of your pets spells when cast on others, tracks ground-targeted AoEs, temporary minion summons and totems. Cooldowns for your items, pet abilities and your own abilities can also be tracked. Options can be accessed by typing either /ellipsis or /...
Terminology
Aura - HoTs, DoTs, Buffs & Debuffs cast by you or your pet
Unit - Yourself, your pet, party members or hostile mobs (basically anything you can hurl spells at)
Auras, Units & Unit Groups
All auras you cast are attached to the unit they are cast on and these are then seperated into one of 7 groups when displayed. The first 4 groups are based on what the unit is, the 5th is a special case (see The Non-Targeted Unit below), and the last 2 are overrides for your current target and focus to keep them seperate (if desired) from every other displayed unit. Each group can be assigned to any of the 7 available display frames, and multiple groups can be assigned to a single frame.
Example: Assign all harmful units to frame [1], and your target to frame [2] to quickly reference the DoT situation on your current target 'pulled out' from the mess of all your other DoTs.
The Non-Targeted Unit
Some auras exist without any unit to attach themselves to such as temporary minion summons, totems, and ground-targeted AoE spells. These are all grouped together under the special Non-Targeted unit, which is the sole member of the non-targeted group (and can be assigned to a display frame and sorted just like any other unit).
Installation
There are two 'mods' included with Ellipsis, the main mod itself (folder: Ellipsis) and the configuration options (folder: Ellipsis_Options). Only the first is required to use the mod, though you will not be able to change options without the latter; Ellipsis_Options is also Load on Demand and thus won't use up any resources until you begin changing options (which is also why its a seperate folder/addon).

Hi there, I have some suggestions/questions, but since I just installed it and have only been playing with it for a few hours, I didn't want to open a ticket. However, if any of these things are possible, I'll be happy to open a ticket.
1) Is there a way to make the icon timers go to the right or left, and then after a configurable number of icons in the row, start a new row? 2) Related to the above, is there a way to make the timers for icons appear below the icons, rather than to the right? I've tried a lot of options and can't seem to get that to happen. 3) Related to the first two, would you consider adding an option to make the icons/bars grow upwards? (I definitely didn't see that in the growth options.) 4) Party Buffs - This is something that DoTimer had that I haven't found in another timer mod. Basically, if you have a buff that you put on your party, instead of 10 timers with the buff, you have one timer, with a stack number of how many people have that buff. DoTimer had it under and anchor called "Party Buffs." 5) ButtonFacade support (although I might have missed this) would be awesome. Many of these options are available in DoTimer, but since the last patch there have been a lot of problems with it, and the author is MIA. I find that disabling it has increased my game's performance considerably, and I'm looking to replace the features I used the most in it. If you or anyone can recommend other mods that do this, I'd be happy to try them out next to ellipsis, as I don't want you to add features you don't think are worthwhile for the mod. I really like this mod, and honestly, I'll probably keep using it even if I'm SOL on my suggestions above. Thanks a lot for your hard work! EDIT: Somehow I missed your "I'm only playing for 7 days" post below, so I understand if the above are too much work, but I'll keep this post here anyway in case someone else can point me to other addons. I also have no problem editing the lua, if someone can point me to the place to do it and tell me what to put there.

Due to the secure frames stuff Blizzard added a while ago you cannot dynamically move "useable" frames (like Ellipsis does for the targets window) and so clickcasting on the mob is impossible without a complete re-work of how I display things. For the icon + timer, I believe theres an option for that (though it doesn't look particuarly pretty unless you mess around with a few other options as well). |

It says that the last rank of Searing Totem should display as 60 sec, but when i use it on my shaman (lvl 80), it still shows as the lowest rank = 30 sec...
EDIT: Now that i looked through the code, i notice why... You only have up to rank 7. The highest rank is 10, so that's why it only displays as 30s. Here is the fix: Code:
['SHAMAN'] = { [3599] = 30, -- searing r1 [6363] = 35, -- searing r2 [6364] = 40, -- searing r3 [6365] = 45, -- searing r4 [10437] = 50, -- searing r5 [10438] = 55, -- searing r6 [25533] = 60, -- searing r7 [58699] = 60, -- searing r8 [58703] = 60, -- searing r9 [58704] = 60, -- searing r10 },

Kith, thanks for this addon. Very helpful and something I have been looking for for a while. I have been muting the following suggestions in WoWAce forums - you have pretty much answered one in one of your responses below - and if some of these are already possible, by all means flame me. I have only had it for a couple of days and still playing with the config so maybe some of the options I provide below are possible, or you have already answered elsewhere.

Holy Paladin's Holy Shock, in addition to Penance, can target friendly or enemy players. It has a different range per target, and that's what pushes the cd information to the 4th line. For anyone interested, including the author, this is the patch file for how to fix it:

small bugg
Every time i login to the game the icons on the cooldownbar shows up maybe half a screen above the bar where they should show up..so i have a blank bar and then some moving icons half a screen up..its kinda hard to estimate the cooldown that way :P this is easily fixed by going to options and unlocking and locking ellipsis again. Any ideas whats causing this?:P

Love the addon. One problem I am having is that sometimes all my bars would disappear from the screen and reappears for no reason. It happens in combat and out of combat. Any idea?

And to elaborate on the quote: You can also have the name of the target the bar belongs to in the bar itself. While i dont hate the individual groups of bars an option to have it either way would be nice.

Best addon I've ever used for the purpose it serves. I'm a mage and I tried Scorchio2, but this thing is much more configurable. I love it!

Sure, I'll rephrase:
I would like the option to have all targets' dots/hots in the same group, and not divided into groups for each target. This creates less screen clutter. You answered to a similar request previously: "How will you know which target you are tracking?" My follow up argument: Most players are already used to timer addons that track every target in one group and it would be great to be able to do that in Eclipse. We are adjusted to knowing which bars belongs to which target. Thanks |
