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.

I don't know how to copy from the General-Window, så I just write it here..

Example one:
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H60_Data
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H80_Data
LightHeaded: Could not load LightHeaded_H80_Data, DISABLED
LightHeaded: Could not find quest information for Burn It Up... For The Horde [61]
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H80_Data
LightHeaded: Could not load LightHeaded_H80_Data, DISABLED

Example two::
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H60_Data
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H80_Data
LightHeaded: Could not load LightHeaded_H80_Data, DISABLED
LightHeaded: Could not find quest information for Outland Sucks [61]
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H80_Data
LightHeaded: Could not load LightHeaded_H80_Data, DISABLED

Example Three:
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H60_Data
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H80_Data
LightHeaded: Could not load LightHeaded_H80_Data, DISABLED
LightHeaded: Could not find quest information for Felspark Ravine [61]
LightHeaded: Loading LightHeaded_H80_Data
LightHeaded: Could not load LightHeaded_H80_Data, DISABLED

A lvl60: Bonechewer Blood quest is OK...

Apatterns seems to point that H80 file is corrupt... But I've even tried to upgrade while the problem is here.. I've tried r171 and r175 with same result

And just for the record.... H20, H40, H60 and H80 are all enabled..

LightHeaded is not "compatible" with any quest mods, but they may choose to work in a way that works well with LightHeaded. Unfortunately my time is better spent working on improving the mod, rather than hunting down integration with an addon that isn't mine.

But the way I see it, far from all quests are in LH??

When I was back in "normal game", the only quests not in LH was the new ones from patch 2.3.. But now, it seems only very few are in LH...

WHy is this???

Or am I doing something wrong????

this will anchor LH to UberQuest if the mod is loaded, otherwise to default questlog.
just need to add the other quest logs.

Note: The LH frame wont be exactly same height as ur questlog. And you need to open/close the LH frame to update its content for the quest ur watching, but still, i can use LH with UberQuest so im pretty happy

Hi, im not really a mod maker but i love to use this mod and also love the PartyQuest mod
i tried your approach to see if it would work with partyquest as well as you did with uberquest, but could not make it work.. i dont have experience making mods

if you (or anyone else around here with some mod experience) happen to know what i should change to make this work with partyquest, would be really appreciated

i dont care if is a bit buggy as long as i can use the 2 together i would be really happy :P

(or does anyone know of a good replacemet mod for partyquest which does the same and is working with this one??)

is it ok to use it or you can get banned? since it simplifies a lot the gameplay; isn't it like cheating?

Here, try this mod: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...egalAddon.html

Not bother. All LightHeaded is is the third little window in the screenshots above. Hope you figure out what happened!

i closed the tracker during a raid last night and i can't figure out how to use your tracker again instead of the WoW quest tracker

i saw your quote, "The UI can be hidden when you're not using it, it collapses down to a simple nub on your combat log," but i don't see anything on my combat log that might be what i'm looking for

i'm sure it's something as plain as the nose on my face, but i'm just missing it atm

enjoy the addon...thanks for taking the time to make it

ESM69

LightHeaded isn't a quest tracker. Its a frame that attaches itself to the default quest log and provides comments and quest information from wowhead.com. The "nub" that is referred to can plainly be seen on the right-hand side of the LightHeaded frame in the screenshots above.

2-is it possible to not have group member's quests scroll on my screen?

You're going to have to be more specific, I have no idea what you mean. All LightHeaded does is provide comments based on your quest log.

What is caobot? I really have no idea what you're talking about.

Are you sure you unpacked LightHeaded correctly? There should be 11 (or 12) directories in your addons folder, if you've done it correctly.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: DBLWIDE Dependency?

Originally posted by spr808
[b]Hi Cladhaire! Hey I really think that your mod is exactly what I am looking for! The thing is though is that I just now downloaded another mod called "Doublewide". It too expands the quest log pane (which is suhweeet!).

LightHeaded does not expand the quest log, so you're fine.

My question is this: Does your mod incorperate the same frame design (sorry I'm no mod dev) ? Or, do you simply have Doublewide running in your game interface also? Where I really like the layout and purposes of Doublewide, I think it would be non-beneficial to my interface memery to be running duplicate mods, or portions thereof.

I run Doublewide

Do I need to keep running Doublewide in order to gain the full benefit of Lightheaded? I assume by your previous comment that you have it downloaded also, but like I said, I'm just a player that likes add-ons.

DoubleWide is merely another addon that extends your quest log, and you're welcome to use or not use it as you wish. I find it much easier to have the extended quest log, however.

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.
