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 was actually just referring to the coords/waypoints below. Not sure what happened, but it happened.

Yes, that was it. TY. These mods work fine with the Mirage UI compilation.

I know it might be a lot to ask, but if I know of a quest name or certain item name, would it be possible to implement that search into LH? Or, would it take too much time/changes/memory that it's not worth it? Basically, I'm hoping that LH would be an in-game version of wowhead...

The best I could give you is quest title and level.. if you could provide those, it could display that quest. This addon is absolutely NOT meant to replace wowhead.

You could use LudWig for item searching.

Knaledge A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 106 Uploads: 0	Clad - one thing I noticed is that quests that start as a chain (repeatable) end up having a duplicate quest entry for the repeatable aspect of the quest. For example, check out "More Obsidian Warbeads" for Consortium. Many other examples escape me at the moment but I know it isn't strictly repeatable quest lines also. There's the <animal> Mastery quests in Nagrand that exhibit this duplicate quest behavior. So it'll show as: 1. Talbuk Mastery 2. Talbuk Mastery 3. Talbuk Mastery Then when you click on the second quest (2. Talbuk Mastery) it appears as: 1. Talbuk Mastery 2. Talbuk Mastery 3. Talbuk Mastery And then the quest info (level, exp, rep gain/loss, etc.) is repeated twice below. The comments are also sometimes duplicated or include the ones from the first half of the quest. This also works in converse where any repeatable quest chain includes the comments for the follow-up quest (repeatable version) in the initial quest's comments. When I get in from work I will post more info if needed. Also, I second having some sort of minor search functionality. Would the level of the quest really be neccessary though? Perhaps just a simple text based query for best-match for the quest name? That would seem most accessible - but not sure how you've got it operating under the hood. Good stuff! Thanks for the debug changes!

This is because the only way we can uniquely identify quests in game is using the title and level of the quest. LightHeaded has no way to identify these quests in game (outside of the game we have quest id).

The comments are also sometimes duplicated or include the ones from the first half of the quest. This also works in converse where any repeatable quest chain includes the comments for the follow-up quest (repeatable version) in the initial quest's comments.

What happens during parsing, is all quests with the same quest title and level get lumped together, but I display the unique qid for each of them so you can differentiate. Any comments in one of these quests (they are ENTIRELY separate on WowHead.com) is included in the bundle. If you're getting repeated comments, its due to the same comment existing on multiple quest ids. I could parse out any comments that have the exact same text, but that would be somewhat unreliable, and wouldn't always help).

Also, I second having some sort of minor search functionality. Would the level of the quest really be neccessary though? Perhaps just a simple text based query for best-match for the quest name? That would seem most accessible - but not sure how you've got it operating under the hood.

It absolutely needs both the quest title and the quest level. The level is what I use to only load the relevant data from the library, to cut down on memory usage. Also, to be completely honest, this isn't meant to replace wowhead. The most functionality I intend to give is to allow you to look up a quest, if someone can give you the name/level of the quest (so you can assist them).

Make sense?

Good stuff! Thanks for the debug changes! [/quote]

I thought Ludwig requires an item ID? Or would name work?

Can I request that LH would contain a quest title search then?

Again, it would require the title and the level, but yes.

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.
