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).

Hello,
I'm interested; could you please post up a screenshot of the config GUI (provided there is one)? Also, was this based on DoTimer? Thanks. |

suggestions
thank you so much for making this. i love the DoTimer feel and im assuming this wont spit out as much uneccessary info as DoTimer did behind the scenes.
few things i noticed while using this on a DK (using version 0.62) when i spread my diseases using pestilence i did not get another list of dots showing for the targets it had jumped to. not sure if you have implemented this as of yet. i tried this with "all (none)" and "all (both)" priorities. the ability to adjust the width of the bars would be great so i can customize it a bit more. ability to lock the frames and have the little "timers" bar hide when doing this would be good as well. functionality to output breaks and expires to mik's scrolling battle text would be appreciated. also on breaks, i noticed that SOMETIMES (only sometimes) i would get break messages when a mob died and had dots on it. i could not reproduce this consistently however. keep up the great work on this ps i'd love this on live as well!

[QUOTE]i'd love this on live as well! [/quote] A lot of people seem to actually, so once I finish the cooldown build i'll see how much work is involved in backporting it; if its only the UnitAura vs UnitBuff/Debuff change, then i'll make a backport. |

Re: Re: suggestions
thanks for the super fast response!
ill take a better look at the options that you said are already in there (it was late when i got installed and testing!). as far as the aura break "nemesis", you cant win'em all! i can live with the occasional spam so its not a big deal. thanks again and keep up the good work |

As for custom colours for spells, thats not really anything i'd thought about adding and would be a lot of work to change from the current 'gradient' bars based on time. |

Hey there, saw you updated the addon this morning. I just installed it for the first time in the wotlk beta. If I run the test mode thing in the addon configuration screen it displays all the bars and I can move the achors around to where I want things. But when I cast HoTs on myself or others nearby it doesn't get tracked through your addon. Any ideas?
edit: After some further testing, damage over time spells do show up, but not correctly. If I cast Moonfire on a few targets it displays the debuff for each DoT but the time displays indicating that it will tick for over 3 minutes. After the DoT wears off the entry disappears.
