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.

Where might I find the patch notes for new versions, if they exist?

Thanks again for this mod, an outstanding timesaver.

I try to list everything in the description.. My build script doesn't currently work with this addon, which I hope to resolve soon, so my changelogs can be auto generated.

Its a mod called DoubleWide, very nice and slim mod that turns your boring quest log into a two-pane circus of information. I love it.

I get this now also, no comments. Deleted saved variables and re-installed addon but no comments show up, it has the "Comments courtesy of http://www.wowhead.com" line and then "No comments found..."

It does say in the chat "Lightheaded: Loading Lighthead_Horde_Data..."

I went to www.wowhead.com and searched the particular quests it was giving me this on and there were comments on the website.

You have an addon that is giving you quest levels in the quest log window. You will need to remove that addon, its conflicting with LightHeaded, because it changes the name of the quest, which I need to look things up.

I found the culprit, it was Minimalist. It has a setting to show quest levels, even if I turned off the option in the addon settings it still didn't show the lighthead comments. Disabling the addon from the character select screen brings back the lighthead comments.

What else does Minimalist do? Seems everyone uses it, but it breaks LH =/

Here is the WowAce review http://wowacereview.wordpress.com/ad...sc/minimalist/ , kind of old but still tells about the options in minimalist. You can find the mod, updated frequently, at www.wowace.com/files

Cladhaire - first off - i really must congratulate you on a job well done. I love Lightheaded to death

I have a small suggestion: one thing that would help would be to use the same colour-coding as wowhead - i.e. the important green colours could be in a different colour (like the coords are at the moment). Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

First off, thanks for this. This is really great when questing.

I have an error message when I do a /qfind title with the latest version. Here is what I have in my !BugGrabber.lua file:

Code:
LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:60: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:60: in function `?'
Clique\Dongle.lua:987: in function <Interface\AddOns\Clique\Dongle.lua:975>
Clique\Dongle.lua:1024: in function `value'
Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3094: in function `ChatEdit_ParseText':
Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2821: in function `ChatEdit_SendText':
Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2842: in function `ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed':
<string>:\"ChatFrameEditBox:OnEnterPressed\":2: in function <[string \"ChatFrameEditBox:OnEnterPressed\"]:1>
I've updated all three of your addons at the same time so I don't think is a library version issue.

One little request: can you make the windows movable/realizable? I use double-wide just like you do I think but my screen resolution is not as good as yours. I'm missing part of the last word of every sentences.

TIA for the help and for all you are doing for the WoW gamers :-).

I have the comment ratings in my parsing script, I just haven't turned on the coloring or hiding yet, cause I haven't coded suipport for it.
