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.

the right side of the panels is UberQuest_Details. Changing "QuestLogFrame" by "UberQuest_Details" works.

i think it would be something like
if UberQuest and UberQuest_Details then
anchor = "UberQuest_Details"
else
anchor = "QuestLogFrame"
end

then again, i dont know why i wrote this code since you wrote lightheaded, i guess you know how to do this hehe.
Think you'll be told that you should ask the author of UberQuest to add support for LightHeaded! Seriously though, why do some people keep asking Cladhaire to add support for the various quest log addons that are available?

Because those quests aren't in the database yet. They'll be added in the next update.

Well it was the only quest that I noticed so far. I'll keep you posted if I find more.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything I can do to help you troubleshoot. I suggest disabling most of your addons, and then enabling LightHeaded. Ensure that it works properly, and then begin enabling addons in batched until you find a group that breaks it. One of the addons you just activated was responsible.

This should be done through the addon selection screen, not Khaos.

The one from files.wowace.com. I suspect you're using the one from curse, which ckknight hasn't bothered to update in quite some time.

You changed your addons. If you want the arrow, you need to have Cartographer_Waypoints, since thats the addon that provides that functionality. If you'd like the waypoints on the map/minimap, then you need TomTom.

That functionality has never been in LightHeaded.
