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).

Very nice add on. As an old warlock Dotimer was like a mandatory add on, despite the number of uneeded feature in it.
I am very impressed and very grateful for this add on and really hope that you will ensure that it is rock solid, in terms of: 1- reporting 2-stability 3-display options. These are what people look for in a Dot/Hot monitoring add on. The rest is really icing on the cake and you need to ensure you add on does not get bloated (sorry I work as a QA engineer, I tend to look at software in a critical manner). Your cooldown bar is such a brilliant idea, I was most impressed by it. At first one wonders what that bar is and then you use your abilities and it hit you. Nice, simple and clear visual feedback on cooldown, easy to follow from a human standpoint. Just brilliant, carry on with the excellent work. |

Is there any way to set the tracking to only party members? If I run around buffing random people, I don't want to be tracking them.

Thanks. The right clicking to remove the buff was new. I was putting up that comment prior to grabbing the new version.

Ran into an issue on the PTR on my shaman. When loaded by itself, Ellipsis produces no errors. However, when loaded with addons that rely on the Ace2 framework, it produces this error that seems to relate to totemGroups within the classdata.lua.
*Edit #2* If you read the original edit, disregard, somehow i had LUa errors turned off in the interface options. It's definitely related to the Ace2 framework. Code:
[2008/10/12 10:23:08-71-x1]: Ellipsis-0.76\ClassData.lua:230: table index is nil Ellipsis-0.76\Core.lua:173: in function <Interface\AddOns\Ellipsis\Core.lua:169> (tail call): ?: <in C code>: ? <string>:"safecall Dispatcher[1]":9: in function <[string "safecall Dispatcher[1]"]:5> (tail call): ?: AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:365: in function `EnableAddon' AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:435: in function <...s\AckisRecipeList\libs\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:421> <in C code>: in function `LoadAddOn' Interface\FrameXML\UIParent.lua:991: in function `UIParentLoadAddOn': Interface\FrameXML\UIParent.lua:241: in function `CombatLog_LoadUI': Interface\FrameXML\UIParent.lua:389: in function `UIParent_OnEvent': <string>:"*:OnEvent":1: in function <[string "*:OnEvent"]:1>

I take it back...I get those errors (and problems displaying test bars) with nothing but Ellipsis enabled. Appears to be Shaman-specific as my Warlock works just fine.

I apologize if this has been addressed already, but I am new to the comments system here and am unsure if it is possible to search the comments.
The cooldown portion of the mod seems to do some strange things with DKs. I have noticed this in general with cooldown tracking mods and rune-using abilities, but many things that use a rune seem to be tracked as a cooldown when runes are used. I haven't done extensive testing, so I'm not positive on what I'm seeing, but I know that I was getting very spammy cooldowns on some abilities, and what looked specifically to be DK presences. Almost every time I would use a rune, I would see the presence icon's pop up on the cooldown bar. Not sure 100% what was going on. There appeared to be several abilities on the same cooldown, so I couldn't look at the other icons to see what exactly was going up there. I can keep testing this and get more info on it, but if this sort of thing is normal and has been seen before, or just requires some threshold value changes to fix, I figured I would ask =p. |

Water Elemental Timer
Not sure if this even attempts takes talents into affect or not, but when I create a water ele on my frost mage, it shows a No Target timer for how long the ele will be up. It says 45 seconds, but with new talents, mine's up for 1 min. Can you adjust that? Thanks! LOVE this mod, by the way!

Thank you for this addon. Would it be possible to get a feature to set the timer text below the dot icon (when showing only icons)?
Like this: [icon1] [icon2] [icon3] 15s ..... 8.5s ... 4.3s It would be really nice. |
