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 loads ONLY the data it needs, so if you're looking at a level 65 quest, it loads the level 60 data. If you're looking at a level 35 quest, it loads the level 40 data, etc. What quests are you trying to view?

Yea i tried to uninstall and install it lots of times, erased all folders of LightHeaded before every install but i still get that message.."lighthead could not find that quest in DB"

Any ideas why this happens? I have all the folders u mention on the download site so i dont understand why

Thanks in advance.
Are you running on enUS? You shoudl get a message telling you why the client addon couldn't load, do you get ANY other messages?

BTW, love the addon.
I would rather support it directly with the author. Can you have them get in touch with me, so we can decide on the best course of action?

Either way would be great, if you can get me started on the parsing, I can make it a part of my parse system.

Shoot me an email at gmail.com. I appreciate your work on this, it makes me much happier to be able to provide for my deDE users =)

Since you have the copyright for LightHeaded, I would like to know if I am allowed to release this modified version of LightHeaded to the public domain.

Cheers,
