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).

Wow, I don't know why you even responded to that guy. You're not a paid customer-service representative from Microsoft - this is your hobby project. Tell him to go away and put him on ignore.
Anyway... I'm currently using Asheyla's DoTimer on the retail servers (WoW 2.4.2) and it continues to work great for me, so I'll be using it until the WoW 3.02 patch is released. On the PTR for 3.02, I tried the Ellipsis WotLK beta and - while it works - I can't set any options and I get the following error message when I type /ellipsis: Error: attempt to call global 'InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame' (a nil value) File: Interface\AddOns\Ellipsis\Config.lua Line: 159 Count: 1 To the extent that Ellipsis is functioning without my being able to move the timer bars or configure them, it looks great! However, my testing is stuck until I'm able to change the configuration options. Is there something I am doing wrong, or is this an error with Ellipsis? Thanks for your great work! edit: When I login with the Ellipsis_Options addon disabled, I do not get an error message, but I do get a message printed to the General Chat Log: "Ellipsis: Please enable the Ellipsis_Options addon for option configuration."

As to your edit, thats intended that you can't change options if Ellipsis_Options is disabled. The options mod is LoD and so won't consume resources until needed (ie, when you type /ellipsis), and if your happy with your setup for sure, you can just disable it completely. EDIT:Uploaded a new version that uses the (apparently renamed) version of the OpenToFrame function, so everything should be working right now, please let me know if you experience anything contrary to that.

Kith- 0.74 works great on the PTR! Really, really nice and I foresee a very smooth transition from Asheyla's DoTimer to Ellipsis once the 3.02 patch goes live.
Thank you very much for your work on this great addon. |

Remove Current Timer w/o "blocking" it
Left-Click to Announce.
Shift+Right-Click to block this spell. Can you add: Right-Click to remove this timer. The Right-Click would remove that specific timer from the display, but would not prevent the spell or effect that triggered that timer from triggering a displayed timer in the future. |

Re: Re: Remove Current Timer w/o
Hmm... I have thought about this some more. Consider: A caster has Ellipsis set up so that he can track his castable buffs. While walking through his home city, he "ninja-buffs" people at random. This causes a large number of timers to appear on his screen, none of which the caster actually cares to track. However, if temporary aura ignores are cleared after combat, all of these will reappear, or not vanish at all since an end-of-combat event is not triggered. Perhaps I can point you to the last version of Asheyla's DoTimer which works on the current 2.4.3 patch on the retail servers. Whenever a timer appears that I don't want to track anymore, but wish to track in the future, in or out of combat, a right-click on that timer removes it from my display. Often, in combat, that timer will just reappear - but that's OK, since such timers usually only get in the way out of combat. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5302-DoTimer.html

Currently, Ellipsis doesn't show dots/debuffs on the test dummies on PTR.

I'm debating what to think of this. On one hand, you copied the looks of my addon nearly identically. On another hand, I kind of deserved it, since I didn't update my addon in forever. Additionally, you didn't rip the code, and you certainly brought some new things into the addon that I didn't have.
On a final hand, I just finished my own rewrite of my addon, which is a step beyond what either this addon or my old version has to offer in terms of functionality (in my opinion, of course). So I suppose I'll simply accept the competition. This will be interesting. |

I'm looking forward to seeing what the new DoTimer brings as well, from what i've read, it sounds like you have some great ideas. |
