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.

No, I can't.. that's not how addons work. If you don't need new comments, then there is no need to update. That being said, it was updated within the last week. What comments are you finding that are on wowhead that aren't on LightHeaded.

Its over 7000 pages to parse, not to mention the other stuff that goes into it. If you have specific examples, please make them known.

To your knowledge, are there any addons that would interfere with the functions of tomtom and lightheaded respectively? I'm beggining trial and error of removing and adding addons at the moment, but any other help would be appreciated.

I've just run into this problem to, (spam clicking does work BTW) what ther add ons do you use, maybe we can see if theres something in comon

leezard A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	I had a problem getting lightheaded to work this morning, after some messing around with various mods it was uberquest preventing lightheaded from loading. I deleted uberquest and all is well. They both worked fine together before I updated, but uberquest really isnt needed with lightheaded and doublewide

After turning off all the addons except LH and TT, then slowly turning them on again, the error does not persist. I have no problems with the selection of a coordinate at all any longer.

I did, however, also update two mods in the process: Bagnon and Simple Minimap. The only thing that I can figure is that the unupdated verson of Simple Minimap was causing the problems.

Hope that little bit helps =)

I don't use it.. please let me know if you get any more info :P

I've been having this issue _intermittently_.. i.e. sometimes it takes a few clicks to make it work.. Try spam clicking, and let me know if that works for you. I'm going to look into it either way, so if you do find an addon that causes it, let me know.

http://www.wowace.com/wiki/NQuestLog

Also, I personally like to use this mod when I'm absolutely stuck and save the trouble of Alt-Tabbing out to find it. In a nutshell, I don't like it popping up every time. Is there an option to disable the auto-show of the frame? If not, could one be added?

I do not provide compatibility with other addons. Paging has nothing to do with whether the window is detached or not. That being said, I'll add a close button to the detached frame in the next version.

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.
