LightHeaded  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v100002-1.0.0-2022-12-15
by: Cladhaire [More]

Classic not updated at the moment, only retail.


LightHeaded is a very simple addon that displays quest information and comments from http://www.wowhead.com in game, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab when you get stuck on quest. This addon was inspired by qcomments and wowhead_quests, which both serve a similar purpose. Data is only loaded when you first request it, so you can be sure you're not using more memory than you need to.

I HIGHLY suggest using this addon with TomTom, another one of my addons (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...32-TomTom.html ). This allows you to simply click any coordinate in LightHeaded to add it to your map as a waypoint.

The following slash commands are valid:
  • /lh attach - Attaches the frame to the quest log
  • /lh detach - Detaches the frame, allows you to resize and move it
  • /lh sound - Toggles the open/close sound
  • /lh page - Toggles showing all comments on one page, or with multiple pages
  • /lh bgalpha <0.0-1.0> - Changes the alpha of the LH window background textures, so you can see the world.
  • /lh debug - Enables or disabled debug messages when loading quest databases
  • /lh config - Opens the LightHeaded configuration window
  • /lh autodetails - Toggle automatic opening of the Lightheaded window when clicking a quest in the objective tracker

LightHeaded now includes the English descriptions and introductory text for most of the quests in the game. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled for those players that are not playing in their native locale.

LightHeaded supports sending coordinates to TomTom, MapNotes, Cartographer2 and Cartographer3.

IMPORTANT: Addon authors that wish to use this API and data should
include the wowhead logo in the frame that displays this information.
They are kind enough to let me continue parsing their database, and we
owe them at least that much. Thank you.

Thanks for using my addons!

Updated 2022-12-15 for retail.

No.

I said I will parse the results when 2.4 hits, and we have unique quest ids.

Yep. I figured it may have been some weird combo of starting quests and/or canceling one.
It kinda fixed itself. I basically toggled all the options on and off hoping to shake something loose and it worked. No debug messages were shown though.

Live and learn...

Lightheaded stopped working.

Playing a Night Elf Rogue and the addl data stopped being displayed. The mod is loading and I can access its help file but nothing is displayed.

However,
I have created a new character and it works with all mods.
I have also, using the rogue character, removed all mods physically from the addon dir except for LH and it still wont display...
/lh debug

Other than that, there is very little troubleshooting I can help with. Nothing's changed =/

Try downloading from here? http://brokendreams.net/LightHeaded-r177.zip

Let me know if that works.

As listed, painstakingly in the comments and the addon's description. That is not LightHeaded that provides the wide quest log. What you're seeing is exactly correct. If you want the large quest log, download DoubleWide, which is the addon that provides that.

Just an update on my problem, it seems to be coming from my ClearFont addon. But not in the normal way. When LH isn't working correctly, I've found that logging out and turning Clearfont on or off fixes it in one or two tries - but it doesn't matter of it's on or off. So Strange, just thought you might like to know. Thanks again for the awesome addon.

Yes, and it works just fine after that point. Known bug, fix will come when I get an opportunity.

Did you double check to make sure in the nquestlog options, under Details Frame, that it isnt checked. If it is, then LH doesnt come up, you get the nquestlog details instead. Once its turned off, LH pops up on the quest log.
