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.

Now if only my Cartographer will show my quest objectives like it did before the patch...

Anyways, great job!

Glad to hear it, Blizzard made it easy for this to work across locales this patch!

Great, thanks for reporting back!

Im using Mozilla, and clicked on the "Download" button and got r216. Going to check results on IE. Wait a second.

EDIT: Tried IE and got the right file, r219. Don't know whats with Mozilla..

Hi, I cannot seem to get Lightheaded to work at all. I have tried r217 and r219 and I have the same problem with both. I have no other addons running. When I open my quest log I see the quest log window to the left as normal and an empty black window in the centre of the screen. The middle of the window is missing. The top of the window has a texture and the close button to close Lightheaded. I also have an additional texture block outside the window to the right of the close button. Any ideas? Thanks.

Anyway, this is great addon! Can't even level anymore without it. I would just want to get that LoD back because of my computer.. Just take your time to add it, no need to hurry. ^^

When I click the download button, I get r219, as expected. I can verify this by the filename, and the version listed in LightHeaded.toc.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	I want to sincerely apologize for the number of updates over the past few days. Regardless of how much testing I do, you guys will always find bugs that I was unable to trigger. There have been almost 2 million downloads of LightHeaded since I created it and I'm humbled that all of you consider this addon vital enough to be so passionate about bug reports. I believe that r219 fixes all of the issues with the page flipping. The two fixes I put together initially didn't consider all the different modes the system could be in and every change had some other bug associated with it. I believe to have thought out the solution this time, and I've tested it as best I can. Please let me know if you continue to have issues with LightHeaded. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

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.
