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.

Unhappy Help

I keep getting an error message when I try to extract the files into the Addon Folder. I had Lightheaded before, but had to get rid of all my addons earlier.

So I've already gotten TomTom and Double wide, but Light wont work. I'm also getting the same message with Atlas.

"The Archive is either in a unknown format or damaged" is what it says.

I suggest trying to download again, verifying the MD5 and the size of the file. LightHeaded is about 5.5 megs, so you'll need to ensure you got the entire file.

It doesn't seem to work at all with the addon EQL loaded. The version of EQL I am using is this one: http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/10322/

Is this a EQL or a LH problem?

Its not a LightHeaded problem. LightHeaded is designed to work with the default quest logs, and other addons which alter or replace it correctly. Apparently that version of EQL does not.

I think this may need to be updated to have the Waypoints work with the latest version of Cartographer.

The 3d arrow works for my roommate who is using a really old version of Cartographer, but I have the latest one and when I ALT+click on a coordinate it says "this Version of Cartographer Waypoints is not compatible with Light-Headed"

Is there a way to get a visual guide thats not in the mini-map just using tomtom? I know that's what you recommend, but I don't like the little box with coordinates. The 3d arrow rocks!

The minimap arrows are a feature of TomTom, not LightHeaded - I know it can be hard to draw the line, because they are well integrated.

Clad has stated previously that the next release of TomTom will include the "crazy taxi arrow" without requiring the use of Cartographer.

Error

When I click on a red item link and try to validate the item I get this error message,

[2008/02/21 12:04:13-1846-x2]: LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:108: attempt to compare number with nil
LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:175: in function `LoadQuestData'
LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:256: in function `IterateQuestInfo'
LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:359: in function `GetPageText'
LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:517: in function `UpdateFrame'
LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:1033: in function <Interface\AddOns\LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:1030>

The item validates and I then can see it however after the error message.

I am not affiliated with wowhead.com, but they are aware of the project and I have not been asked to shut down the project officially.

Why would I do that? I mean, I'll consider anything.. but what would be my motivation behind moving to one of the other database sites?
