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.

New parse, all issues I know of should be 'fixed'.

It's all good...

Thanks for the wonderful addon (Lightheaded) Even if it doesnt have 5.2, it is still AMAZING! Questing with Lightheaded has helped me out sooo much. Take your time, You earned it!
It's all good!

It should have everything for 5.2 Does it not?

On the next update, when updating version number etc in the various .toc files, could you please also remember to update the Interface number?

For anyone who has installed the latest version and is wondering why it isn't being loaded, you can either enable the "load out of date Addons" option at the top of the Addons List to force the game to load any such addons or simply edit the .toc file in each folder (any text editor should be able to open .toc files) by changing the Interface number in the first line from 50100 to 50200.

.. just tell me it hasn't been updated. I don't "update" the .toc files for anything else, there are no version numbers or anything.

I've spotted a few quests from v5.2 that haven't made it into the package
32707: Secrets in the Isle of Thunder
32678: Thunder Calls
32296: Treasures of the Thunder King

However, "32317: Seeking the Soulstones" is in the package, so its not a general v5.2 problem..

Really? So, um, when I look at LightHeaded.toc and see line 4 shows "## Version: 363" what is that if not a version number? That same line is in all the other .toc files as well. When checking the .toc files in the last version I had installed that line shows "## Version: 359", so it would appear that someone or something is updating that line in the .toc files. :shrug:

I wasn't asking for another update just for a .toc Interface number update, I was simply pointing out that it had been missed and providing workaround's for anyone who may not know how to resolve the problem in the meantime. My apologies if doing that offended you in any way, that certainly wasn't my intent. On that note, I shall simply step away and not bother you again.

It's automatically updated by the release script on wowinterface, I don't manually make any changes to that file. I also didn't know it was there at all, because it's been literally years since I added it.

I'm not upset, and I'm not angry. I was simply asking for you to just let me know that it was out of date next time. I did not intentionally release a new version after spending 5 hours working on the parser without updating the table of contents file, I just did not realise it was out of date. I appreciate your help, and in the future all you have to do is ping me and say 'Can you update the TOC for 5.2? Thanks!' and I'll happily take care of it.

No problems, no worries =)

I won't likely have a chance to look at this for about a week but if I happen upon time I'll do my best. This isn't just a simple switch or bad input file. It's rather complicated due to the nature of what I have to do.

Any word on when this will be updated to show the Isle of Thunder Quests? Love this mod but it is very outdated right now.

It was updated just a few weeks ago. Please give me a link to several quests that are on WoWhead that aren't appearing and I will look into it.
