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).

Holy shit. I am happy the author is still maintaining this addon. I would be lost completely without it.

Ellipsis 2.0.2, WoW 4.0.3 live, Fire spec Mage. Added the following glyph to an open slot: Glyph of Dragon's Breath. Error was thrown up by Ellipsis as soon as it was inscribed:
Code:
["message"] = "Ellipsis-2.0.2\\Core.lua:398: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)\nCallbackHandler-1.0-6:147: in function <...onLoader\\CallbackHandler-1.0\\CallbackHandler-1.0.lua:147>\n<string>:\"safecall Dispatcher[6]\":4: in function <[string \"safecall Dispatcher[6]\"]:4>\n<in C code>: ?\n<string>:\"safecall Dispatcher[6]\":13: in function `?'\nCallbackHandler-1.0-6:92: in function `Fire'\nAceEvent-3.0-3 (Ace3):120: in function `OnEvent'\nStopAddonMessage-1.6.1beta\\core.lua:282: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\StopAddonMessage\\core.lua:211>\n(tail call): ?:\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["session"] = 583, ["counter"] = 1, }, -- [1000] Another option besides custom code for talent detection: LibTalentQuery-1.0.

No further issues related to that problem so far here, thanks.
But one other problem that has come up with the massive overhaul of talents. For a Holy speced Priest, Ellipsis tracks the cooldown of just the actual Chakra spell instead of the actual "Chakra state". Consequently, its of far less use than it could be. There is really little need to track the Chakra spell cooldown. Of far (far) more importance is knowing the active cooldown of the state, such as Chakra: Sanctuary (the various states were changed again in WoW 4.0.3a; there is no longer a specific one for Renew, etc.). The cooldown of any Chakra effect is extended with every heal (or Smite) cast thanks to the State of Mind talent. Its critical to know in a raid when you don't have a Chakra effect up and/or it ends. But Ellipsis is only tracking the "original" Chakra cast, not its actual effect. Which is somewhat unexpected. In testing recently, the ancient SpellReminder cooldown mod actually detects and tracks only the actual, proper Chakra effect cooldown instead of the original cooldown, unlike Ellipsis. (Check WowAce for that mod; its something I tried to give up in 4.0.1 in an attempt to minimize the number of Ace2 mods was running/testing). So hopefully can get Ellipsis to track the Chakra effect cooldown instead of (or in addition to) the base Chakra spell cooldown.

Track enemy cd's?
Can this addon also track enemy cooldowns, I don't need my own cd tracking, only enemies.
And my own debuffs on enemies.

Re: Track enemy cd's?
For #2, yes, Ellipsis will track your debuffs on enemies, that was its original intent (dot tracking for my Warlock). |

Any thoughts into setting a minimum for aura tracking. Playing a DK so when runes are on cooldown there is a few spells that come flying bye. Not exactly sure how you coded it, so I can understand if you cant implement it (will make all the spells under a certain amount not show past the min amount).
Thanks for the great addon though. |
