Telo

Telo was an AddOn developer in WoW's earliest days through Wrath of the Lich King. Several features in their addons were incorporated into other Vanilla-era addon projects, and many ultimately inspired official features later added to the game.

In particular, Telo inspired:

• The self-cast key (defaulting to alt) for friendly spells in patch 2.0.1.
• The addition of multiple action bars in patch 1.3.0.

Telo's works were distributed through the now-defunct WoW forums, and later uploaded as some of the earliest projects on WoW Ace (id numbers near 3000).

• Titled the "Prophet of War" in 2004 for his extensive experimental work on the World of Warcraft AddOns, donating much of this work to the Cosmos addon, and being highly regarded in both the community at large and among UI Developers for his very flexible work.

• BottomBar : Added a 24 button bar that sat above the default action bar.
• BuffTimers : Added timers to buffs and debuffs before these were integrated into the default UI.
• Clock : Showed the server time in a small window at the top of the screen.
• InfoBar : Provided a framework for incorporating simple plugins into a movable bar. The included sample plugins display money, time, frame rate, ping, health regen, mana regen, map coords, DPS, bag space, and energy recharge.
• ItemBuff : Displayed a small, moveable window that shows your current weapon buff or buffs, including time and charges remaining.
• LootLink : Gave a browseable and searchable in game item database that records every item that you come across in game.
• MobHealth : Tracked an estimate for the current and maximum health of mobs. The estimate is remembered and becomes more accurate the more you fight that mob.
• QuickLoot : Moved the loot window so that the next lootable item or the UI arrow to move to the next page is under your cursor as you loot.
• SelfCast : Adds self-targeting, either by use of the alt key or automatically.
• SideBar : Added 24 buttons in two moveable, resizable columns.
