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.

Doesn't work anymore..

Once I deleted all the old files in my addons to start them over since I had many useless ones anyways. I downloaded the new patch for LightHeaded and it doesn't work at all. I've downloaded and extracted plenty of times and LightHeaded will not work. It doesn't even show up in my list of addons anymore.. Help?

Updated, with new 2.4 goodies.

I have no idea how you do or don't have LightHeaded installed. I would suggest extracting it to a known directory and making sure all of the files are there, BEFORE you copy them into your addons directory.

There is a nub on the right side of the quest log.
Click it to open the LightHeaded pane.

If that doesn't work, disable all addons except LH and do the above.

As long as you put it on the ToDo-list, I'm happy.. Then you can prioritize it how you feel

It has a button on the side of the log. If you look on the right side of the log about in the middle of it. Your cursor will change when you find it.

No.

As always, disable all other addons. LightHeaded will then work. Chances are you are using a quest log replacement. These are typically not compatible with LightHeaded.

Can we have a new one, please
No.

I said I will parse the results when 2.4 hits, and we have unique quest ids.
