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.

Then you are not using the latest vesion of LightHeaded. The warning was most certainly removed, as stated in the changelog.

No big deal, just a heads-up.

I downloaded it, but every quest page says 1 of 1, has no quest info (just a blank page) and there are no comments in any of them. Please help? Last edited by jaims24 : 11-25-08 at 02:46 PM.

That's weird. I specifically remember that LH comments WERE there for that quest a few days ago.

Yes, but I don't like the way it feels if I do that.. I'd have to figure out how to do it right, which is something I am working on.

Thanks Allara, you found a bug in my parsing code, and I was able to find another 3000 comments that weren't parsing properly before that should be added in the next update (which I'm working on at the moment).

Re: missing arrow =(

Originally posted by Dethia
Many apologies if this has been answered already, I skimmed through the comments but there is a ton of them!

Love this mod, been using it for ages ! I encounted a problem today however when my tracking arrow disappeared. I thought maybe it was off screen but I'm at max resolution so I don't know where it could be. =/

I've reinstalled etc, not sure what the problem could be.

Thanks for any help!

I'm thinking this is a server side change, I started having this problem yesterday as well. I didn't change any addons. TomTom has the same problem.

edit: the white square instead of the waypoint arrow. my error catcher did catch something about a stack overflow, related to the minimap i -think-.

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.
