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.

Thanks for the update. Does this fully work with NQuestlog? I have some minor issues every so often with some quests. The Addon pops up over the quest info, so I try to move it and it stays attached to the mouse. I can no longer click on anything. I am forced to /reloadui or log off. In the grand scheme of things, a minor annoyance. If its another addon conflict, any ideas?

The addon and API changed drastically, and I dont believe NQuestLog has updated yet.

Please Don't, wowhead is getting more and more popular and is much better at removing crap comments like 'Hunter Item', and wowhead isn't run by gold-sellers, which is always good

I know this is your mod (which I think is a wonderful thing!), but just to throw my 2c in, I think adding Alla's comments (or Thott's for that matter) would be counterproductive. IMO WoWHead, overall, has better quality comments, due to the comment ratings. I had stopped going to Thott or Alla shortly after WoWHead launched. If you do decide to try to put other comments into LH, could I request an option of which to display?

Thanks for the wonderful mod, and this new version looks very nice! I can't wait to check it out tonight.

Yes, as I state this is a completely new API, so those addons will need to update. In addition they need to add the wowhead logo to those frames somewhere. Have the authors contact me directly if there are any questions.

Nquestlog does not work as noted earlier.

I also wanted to post that all the horde data is using 20103 for the TOC #. Which according to WoW is out of date. Eventhough it appears to be ahead of the others.

Wobin added the API for me, so making it happen was really easy.

Request

would it be possible for the addon to remember the page you were last on for a given quest?

I'd actually stopped using Lightheaded last week as it was using a monsterous 5-6mb of memory and just annoyed me on principle.

You've addressed that issue and possibly every other minor issue I had with this mod. It's fantastic, Clad and makes leveling my alts so much less painful.

Thanks!
