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.

Its another addon, and you clearly changed what addons you are using.

If you're talking about the minimap arrows, thats TomTom
If you're talking about the crazy taxi-like arrow, thats Cartographer_Waypoints.

However, it took me a good long time to determine that you use DoubleWide to modify the way the quest log looks. I still can't figure out what you use to put the quest levels in the quest log as you've shown in your pictures. Can you please post the Name/Version of the other mods you use to produce the results you show? Thanks.

1th of all! Very very nice work you've done here! Allthough it ain't working on my behave, it looks great on the screens. I was wondering, is it possible that the LH > WoW-Head function won't work on a macintosh? I know mods work on PC and Mac, but I thought that because it pulls his info from WoW-Head, there could be an issue here. Just wanted 2 know this before I disable all of my mods.

LOVE TomTom! Keep up the goodwork m8!
There's no downloading, and you don't need to disable everything. Just do some troubleshooting to figure out what could be conflicting.

Nevermind... I changed that to the c:/program files/World of Warcaft/

Only errors I'm getting right now are ::::
--------------------------------------------------
Error: attempt to index a nil value
AddOn: MobileFrames
File: MobileFrames.lua
Line: 167

I'll double and see if that just happens to be out of date.

Edit :: 11:45pm Dec.6 07
Seems that UberQuest has some issues with this.. I'm running same ver that my sister is and her machine has no issues and mine did. I'm redownloading that addon and trying again.
Without UberQuest its working fine, but I had to delete the folder completely.

OK, LH is not compatible with Uberquest 2.1.1
Needs 2.1.2
When I asked you to disable all addons except LightHeaded, I meant it. Quest log replacements have issues with LightHeaded.

I would suggest ensuring you have Lua errors enabled. I need some more information, like a screenshot of the directory structure, and your addons screen, and your screen with your quest log open. ALl issues with the symptoms have ended up beign a conflict, or an installation issue.

You need to ensure you've installed the addon correctly, that you have all 12 directories in your Interface\Addons folder, and that they are all enabled on the addons screen. It's difficult to help you without some more information, but yes the addon is certainly working.
