LightHeaded 

Hey,
First let me start by saying - Awsome addon!!
Finally someone brought this all searching the net-notes IN-Game!

Personaly, up until the moment I saw this addon, I didn't even know lwowHead; I use Thottbot, which is great if you ask me

I've installed lighthead & tomtom, and I very much love the integration between them. I also have chartographer, which is somewhat similar to tomtom, but still not the same. I would have thought that such two addons (TomTom & Chartographer) should be combined into one. But the credit here is all yours for thinking of such a great addition as TomTom

I talk a lot - I know lol

Anyhow, I have two requests about LightHead.
First the simpler one:
Can you make the thext resizable?

And second, the more complicated but also much more important one:
You see, I can't find DoubleWide, which I understand is the addon you use to make the questlog appear in a two-part window. But even if I were to find it... I wouldn't use it, because the addon I use at the moment is simply more usefull. The problem is, LightHead and the addon I use (which is called Extended QuestLog v3.7.1 - Unofficial) don't work together.

I've read the comments here & thought "well, maybe it's because I use the `Show Quest Levels` function..." But no ... I've disabled that function & it still doesn't work. Now, without the Extended QuestLog, LightHead works just fine... but it's a real downer on the game-quality.

So I ask you this...
Can you please... Please please please... make the LightHead addon compatible with the ` Extended QuestLog v3.7.1 - Unofficial`?

Here's where you can download the Extended Questlog (Latest Version):

And here's the creators' contact info:

I myself have sent him an e-mail asking him to make the Questlog window resizable (as the biggest size of font he has is simply not enough for me). He still hasn't replyed, but as you're a developer, I'm hoping he WILL reply you faster.

Please make this effort for all of your users... it'll make such a huge difference.
I know if you do.. I personaly will imediately start using LightHead.

P.S.
I'm about to try that minimalist addon aswell, but if you answer my request positively - I'll have no problems getting rid of the minimalist of course... as YOUR addon is SO much better hehe

Any chance of adding support for Cartographer_Waypoints as an alternative to TomTom?

I have to say this is a bloody great mod Ive tryed and it works so well with FuQuest + double wide if u don't have the quest levels on for the quest log on and i can see this tobe a great addon Im shocked that this has come out so late is WoW life Ive been playing since the open bata and it totaly amazise me that in the last 3months people have only thought about this kind of mod. keep up the great work

is there a chance to run this addon with a german wow version?

Oh I was trying to figure out why the display pane was "blank" when I click on any and every quest onn all alts and I just came here to read up a little more on it and seen what you mentioned.

Nice addon btw, I was using the qComment and the nQuestlog just days ago but have changed to Lightheaded due to the previous addon giving me "Data addons give me lagspikes" and since it offers the basic tools I am seeking and there is SO much room to grow this addon every which way you choose :P I just need to Learn2search in-game /commands that you provided.

In my case, it was Quest Level 2.6 causing the LightHeaded windows to be blank (the only quest level mod that caches levels at NPCs so you can see them in future NPC gossip frames--its a 2.0 update of Elkano's old Quest Level). LightHeaded worked fine after disabling the mod. Also use Minimalist, but have had its level module disabled.

This is a major issue for the many people who use some variation of a quest level mod; there are a large number of them out there. One integrated in Cosmos, one integrated in the CT_ package, one in Minimalist and on and on. Is there any way you can change the LightHeaded lookups to focus on the name only and ignore any extra characters (quest levels, etc.)? Or something else to make it work with such mods? Not sure at this point if I (or others, I'm sure) will want to give up quest level displays to access the information from this mod.

I was just asking if changes could be made to accommodate the wide range of such mods so that both could be used together instead of having to make a choice . Did not realize there were no unique quest identifiers and that you could not exclude non-alpha characters from lookups. And as such, making this compatible with those addons would require massive hack changes (I'd say go for it, but then again its not my mod ).

The issues are:
A) the many people who might like to try this, but find they "can't get it working" due to having any of the many quest level mods installed, yet not knowing that such mods cause LightHeaded not to work. But some more info in the description rather than the user comments (from which I personally saw the issue detailed) might alleviate this issue.
B) not being able to see the levels w/o having to click the quests first, then looking in the window. Doing those steps takes longer than having the levels showing in the default log. You also cannot get an instant comparative level ranking of the quests you have. Minor issue for some, less minor for others.
C) for users of the above noted Quest Level 2.6 specifically, being unable to see quest levels in NPC gossip frames (which I find incredibly convenient).

Anyway, nice update of WoWhead Quests/nComment for those who aren't affected by the above.

Howdy

Indeed I had a couple addons that wre hindering Lightheaded to work at all and would show the "blank" pane, I disabled these addons and now Lightheaded is showing data now. I am looking forward to see this addon grow in functionality and player base.

Tip:
If you have any other addons that change, add or manipulate the default quest log in anyway and you get a "blank" pane from lightheaded you need to disable those addons until you find the culprit, only use the questlog addons that are in the Authors list that say "compatible" until such features are fixed.

I changed from Wowhead_Quests over to Lightheaded at the authors recommendation. So far, this is an excellent mod.
So, if this questions has been ask and I missed it in the comments, Sorry.

But is there a key modifier available so that the info windows only show up with the press of a modifier key (alt,ctrl etc.).

I ask only because I do not need the information every time I open a quest in QuestFU or default log.


Love the mod,
Willtock

Has anyone been able to get this to work with Extended Quest Log?

After I installed this addon, when I click on a Quest title my entire UI freezes. I have to control-alt-delete and kill the WoW process.

Thanks!
