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.

attach command not working with 3rd-party quest logs?

Just wanted to make sure it's not a bug, but I'm using Classic Quest Log and when I type "/lh attach" it just prints the help message to chat. And that message doesn't have attach or detach as an option. Has it been removed? If not, does it only work on the Blizzard frames (no problem if so, but it would be cool to add the ability to set which frame to attach to...)?

waypoint parsing is off?

maybe due to new functionality in wowhead (copy/paste tom tom commands)?

the waypoints can be parsed incorrectly
see Disrupting the Flow quest.

in lightheaded it shows up as /way [36.3],[43.2] (second row used for unique numbers), and after clicking the waypoint in lightheaded it shows up on map as 43,2 .

luv the addon ty for all the hard work!

Having World Map / Quest Log not in full screen is the workaround to those who does not close withit.

At least for me .

This has been the case for at least 2 expansions. I haven't ever heard of a fix or a workaround. I just not and smile and say, "Of course, you want to make sure I'm helped. Thank you!" and click the X.

Why yes, I talk to inanimate objects all the time. Why do you ask?

Hrm. You run any quest log addon?
Quest Guru. I don't recall when I added it, but I've been running something to make the quest log more happy for me since they changed it and blended it with the map. I also don't recall when this persistence of Lightheaded started happening (that sounds like a book title...) but I find it minor. Sometimes hitting escape clears it, sometimes not. I'm trying to get everything settled out with Altoholic and Thaoky being back, so I haven't been on today yet to test it.

Ok, so far the only thing i noticed ( minor bug ) its that it does not save position and size ( tried fresh installa
/ relog / exit )

Thank you !
How do you stop a persistent tooltip of the quest you are looking up besides reloading and losing the quest you were inquiring? Bugs the shit out of me.
Cheers!

If people haven't had a chance to go through and respond with answers, there isn't any help to be had.

It's still working fine for older content, as in the base code is fine. I'm not getting any errors when I use it.
