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).

I had problems with my priest as all spell IDs changed.
So if you get errors on log in you could change the ClassData.lua with current spell IDs. It worked for me. (You can copy spell IDs e.g. from wowhead spell URL)

Can't figure out how to hide/disable the cooldown bar. I dont need it. Is there any option to hide/disable it? Everything else is working great.

On my druid for some reason it isn't tracking savage roar anymore. I have "Track Player Buffs" checked is there something else I'm missing?

I've made the suggested update to get the mod functional again with 3.1 (hopefully), please let me know if thats actually the case as I don't have an active account to check myself at the moment.

Kith,
Would you mind someone taking over the addon? This is a "best of breed" addon for what I need and I'd love to try hacking it apart if you don't mind giving me the rights to. It might take me a little while to learn what I'm doing, but I'm a developer and highly interested. Please, let me know. |

First replacing all instances of "isMine" in AuraHandler.lua with "caster" and then changing line 103 to
if (caster == "player" and duration <= maxDur and not dntList[name]) then -- this is one of our buffs we want to track, do so seems to work fine for me. (Although renaming isMine probably shouldn't be neccessary anyway ;D )

Sorry to have been so long between posting/updates but i'm afraid live has got the better of me and I simply didn't have any time remaining for WoW so my accoutn was cancelled a little over a month ago and (as you've seen) I didn't have enough time to make changes to Ellipsis either.
However, although I can't really make any big changes now I can still try and keep the mod functional through patches so if someone would be kind enough to post the API changes for UnitAura (or link me to the notes), i'll make the changes needed to keep the mod useable at the moment for everyone. I'll also try and check back now and then to make further changes if nessecary for those who decide to stick with it. |

if (isMine == "player" and duration <= maxDur and not dntList[name]) then -- this is one of our buffs we want to track, do so I'm not really sure what you did and worked for you, but simply replacing all instances of one string with the other, shouldn't fix anything, since these strings are essentially variables that hold return values from the UnitAura function. It's how you use them that matters. The fact that Blizzy is wording the return value differently is simply an example to emphasize its meaning. |
