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.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	Thanks for reporting back. Does the problem exist when you enable ONLY LightHeaded and TomTom? I'm wondering if there's a conflict somewhere. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

1.) You don't tell me where you got Cartographer, and what version SPECIFICALLY you are using. There is Cartographer1, Cartographer2, Cartographer3 and there are multiple versions of each available. I do not officially support Cartographer. If you want waypoints on your map, that is specifically what I wrote TomTom to do.

Please download and test it with TomTom. Things should work just fine with them, and then you can contact whoever writes whichever version of Cartographer you are using to look at the problem. Are you getting any error messages?

2.) Please don't tell me "I updated using WoWMatrix", that doesn't tell me anything. WowMatrix regardless of how convenient it is for you is a drain on the addon community and makes users absurdly lazy, especially considering my addons. I choose to post my addons here, and WowMatrix sidesteps my decision.

If you want to report an issue, you should quote the specific version number that is shown on the configuration screen.

Thanks, please post with more information.

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to be vague. Here are the specifics.

1. Cartographer is version r2273 (Cartographer 1) updated on Nov 2, 2008. Downloaded form here.

2. I have downloaded and installed TomTom r176 from here.

I don't think the problem lies with the waypoints. It seems like I can't click through the LINKS that LH provides. So for instance, on the first screen where it says "starts at" and "ends at" and usually has a blue NPC name next to it, won't allow me to click the link to take me to the linked page. The problem seems to be similar with the coords... any blue coord seems un-linked... so it does not register TomTom or Cartographer to issue the waypoint.

I hope I have been more clear. I LOVE LightHeaded and really can not live with out it. I am praying this problem can be fixed.

Thanks again in advance,

-Star

I updated LH & Cartographer today after the patch using WoWMatrix and still have the same problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I just need a map addon which would work nicely with lh/tomtom in a way Cartographer would (when it works). Do you have any other suggestions?

And sorry if I sounded unpleasant. Noticed I never gave you credit for this indispensable addon so yeah, thanks a lot for it.

Nope. Without you telling me specifically what version of Cartographer you are using, I don't know what to tell you. I don't like or support their use, which is why I provide TomTom. Previous versions of Cartographer2 used to work fine, so long as the waypoints module was enabled.

Please provide more information.

It still works, though. I could have lived without any decimal place, after all.

The only time you will see 1 decimal point accuracy is if the number on the right hand side of the decimal separator is a 0. This is just a cosmetic issue that I will fix in the final version. Any other number will be displayed as two digits, since the fractional part is multiplied by 100.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	It's not the only change that needs to be made, and this is how it should be done. I've commited these changes locally: Code: local function makecoord(x) local xi, xf = math.modf(x) xf = math.floor(100 * xf) return xi .. "." .. xf end -- Href the coordinates comment = comment:gsub("(%d%d?%.?%d?%d?)%s[, ]%s(%d%d?%.?%d?%d?)", function(x,y) local xt,yt = makecoord(x), makecoord(y) return string.format("\|cFF0066FF\|Hlhref:coord:%s:%s:"..qid .. "\|h[%s, %s]\|h\|r", xt, yt, xt, yt) end) This should always work, and always be correct. It's unfortunate that WoW has this odd thing happening with the numeric locales, but this should get us around it without an issue. You should have accuracy up to two decimal places and they will work properly in lhrefs. For what it's worth, the way it LOOKS doesn't matter in the least, it's the fact that the coordinates itself that are stored within the hyperlink were wrong. This should fix that entirely. Thanks for the help! __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

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.
