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.

That's Doublewide, which you can find on WoWinterface.com =)

I'm using this actively atm, it's really nice - however I did get a little annoyed with the WorldFrame anchoring.

If anyone wants to change it for the meantime (I'm sure Clad has some reason for anchoring there) you can find this line in LightHeaded.lua:

Code:

lhframe:SetPoint("RIGHT", UIParent, "RIGHT", -15, 0)

and either replace it, or comment it out and add this:

Code:

	lhframe:SetWidth(300)

Perhaps 300 is a bit too thin, but set it to a number that suits your resolution.

Thanks for the Addon Clad, works a charm really

My LightHeaded window has [67] <blah, blah, blah>[67] no comments found.

QuestsFu doesn't do that, so that's not the problem.

Not sure how I'm gonna handle "support" for other mods, I may ask those authors to use my API so they can display it however they want. Any know how the EQL author is, and can get him in touchw ith me?

I think it uses a newer version than whats posted here. Either way I'll be updating this tomorrow, hopefully.

Thanks much for that tip. Especially on a widescreen monitor, the world frame anchoring was ridiculously too wide to the point that I probably would have disabled the mod it if I had to play with it in default format. Setting the width works great. As to why he anchored it there, it's probably because he can't tell how person x is going to have their quest log displayed, but he always knows where the edge of the screen is.

What I'd probably have done in his situation is a test of the calculated width based on the righthand side of the screen, and 300 (or some "decent") width, and taken the lesser of those two values to set the width.

And thanks to the author for a kickass mod (besides the frame width

)

grandthrash A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	big bug? This mod is great in most ways. I have one rather big problem with it though. If I open my questlog and then quickly close it WoW freezes completely and never recovers. If I open the log, wait for everything to load nicely, then close it this doesn't seem to happen. This is a problem for when I just open my log to see remaining quest slots free, etc.

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.
