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.

It would be freaking sweet if you could go over the comments and delete any comment that is just a repeat of whats already been said or just delete uselss comments, (doing so would also make LH ALOT smaller in size).


How could I possibly even begin to do this? I don't have access to the LightHeaded database!

Also there is alot of comments that look fugly cause they have all the html text stuff... check out the pic to know what im talking about...


... Once again awesome mod keep up the great work.
That's an issue that's a bit easier to solve.. but there's no simple solution to it. I cut out lots of necessary stuff to get rid of those that have the 'html'ish codes. I could cut out some of the codes and probably make decent headway, but I actually already do that.

The quest log changed, you need to update the addon. I've long since fixed that issue.

No, you're right, it functions properly. I just wish there were something we could do to shrink everything down, I guess, since the default quest log is so wide now. Not your fault or your problem though
In your video options, try changing the screen resolution to its highest setting for your monitor type (normal or wide-screen)

"Not yet". It's not a simple change.

/doh

I noticed that the LightHeaded_Data_QIDNames option was disabled at my Character Select screen. I thought I'd checked that before, maybe I forgot!

Obviously, it's working now


Cladhaire, thanks for continuing to develop and support this mod!

Didn't fix the problem, I'm still getting "Unknown Quest" as the title for all of my quests in Lightheaded.

Thanks for replying.OK, will do. That will probably also take care of the "Unknown Quest" behavior, as I see you noted it's caused by an incomplete install.

No, someone just has to ask and I re-run the parse. There's no sense in wasting time and bandwidth when people are happy with what they already have. Is there any particular concern you have?
Also was thinking about the changes to the holiday event quests. Also a great and valuable addon. Thanks for making this.

The information is starting to get a little stale, the new Argent dailies from 3.2 don't have information.
