LightHeaded

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.

Addon clean...

I downloaded and scanned the entire addon packet with Norton Internet Security and it comes up clean.

I suggest you get Norton Internet Security, it's a champ on detecting and squashing keylogs, viruses, spyware and more.

By disabling BEQL the LH works. Will see if I can contact the author for this and work something out.

I'd like for it to work with QuestGuru too, if possible.

Where and how EXACTLY did you download the addon? Did it come in a .zip file? Did you run any programs that were in the zip file, or did you simply place the addon in your AddOns folder. Addons (in particular, my addons) do not have any executable component that is even remotely capable of compromising your account. I'm sorry that you've had some issues, hopefully you can determine what the cause was.

But, I should not have to detach / attach / reloadui each time I log in just to get the LH to come up correctly.

I deleted all saved variables and all the LH files in the Addons folder and it still comes out this way.

Any ideas?

You are using skinner, and beql. I'm not really sure how to help you. If it works properly when you disable BEQL and use the default quest log, then I suggest you contact the BEQL author for troubleshooting assistance.

Well there's options to detach/attach LH to the Quest Log! ....

Type "/lh" in the chat window and it comes up with options .. like "/lh detach" would detach it from the quest log and "/lh attach" would attach it to the quest log. If I'm not mistaken.

Basically what happens when I try to run both EQL and LH is that both mods do load, but LH doesn't show up. I can get the text menu with /LH but the graphical part doesn't show up at all. Very irritating.

Try using QuestGuru instead of EQL. It works well with Lightheaded and gives you box to check or uncheck to turn off each quest log. You can get it from
http://wowui.incgamers.com/?p=mod&m=4855 . One of the few good ones on that site. If it doesnt link it just copy and paste.

It's hard to see that color up against background. I wanted to set it to Yellow or something bright enough to see. Last edited by ryfx : 01-26-08 at 11:45 PM.

I would ensure the addon is installed properly, and you have all the LightHeaded addons shown in the addons screen. You can also use /lh debug to see if there are any error messages. You will need to ensure that Lua errors are enabled, in the Interface Options.

In short, there's not much _I_ i can do help you troubleshoot this, other than to have you check these things.

Well, then EQL doesn't use the default quest log, which isn't something I can help. BEQL from what I understand seems to work just fine with LH. I don't "make" LH work with other addons, I expect them to work in a way that LH works properly with them. Otherwise I'd never get to do anythign new with the addon =(

Thanks for the lead! I went and found BEQL, and it does indeed work with LH.

And here's a link for anyone else who might be interested:

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I've enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I'd ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
