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.

3 examples..
A Test of Valor: 32476
Battle Pet Tamers: Easter Kingdoms: 31903
Battle Pet Tamers: Kalimdor: 31981

All of them have comments from before 18/2-13, none displayed in-game.

Also, since v5.2 have been released, a new parse might be over due, anyway?

No 5.2 comments are present, even those that were enter on ptr.wowhead.com (maybe this is expected)

I suppose I could start tracking which they are, but there's been a good handful so far. I've checked on wowhead and there are comments for all of the ones I noticed so far.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	There's an option in the LightHeaded config (I think its an option) that tries to 'fix' this for you. In short, it's a rather difficult problem.. but I'd check that first. __________________ "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.

Lokasenna A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Sorry if this has been covered - I tried a couple of searches with no luck. There are a number of quests that add a 3D portrait of the target or the quest-giver to the quest journal. I have Lightheaded docked, and the portrait covers it up. Is there any way to disable the portrait, or place Lightheaded on a higher level so it sits on top?

I was wondering the same thing. I check for updates every other day. Awesome addon!!

If you see data that you need and that is missing, feel free to ping me. Regular updates are too much of a pain in the ass at this stage given how little things *can* change, that I really need an external bump to push things along =)

Re: Lightheaded not displaying chosen quest

Originally Posted by Barleduq

I'm not sure when it started, but the behavior of lightheaded seems to have changed recently. It used to be that if I clicked on the name of a quest as displayed in the objectives on my screen (and i don't *think* I have anything changing that display), a 1-... 'page' pane would open up, showing the text from the quest I clicked on, and the lightheaded added pane would be set to that quest also. Currently, when I click on a name in the objectives, the lightheaded pane will show for that quest and then switch to (what I think is) the oldest quest in my log. When I use L to open the log, that is also the quest it defaults to showing. I do *not* have that quest tracked; the only quests I'm currently tracking are the ones in my current zone. It's somewhat of an irritant to force lightheaded to show the correct quest - the one that's displaying when I click the objective's display entry. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

(it might not necessarily be the oldest quest - i just had it point at a different quest than the oldest.)

Pretty easy to test:

Disable all other addons
Enable LightHeaded and all its sub-addons
Test

You should find that it works as expected. If not, report back to me. If it does, then you'll need to figure out which addon is making changes to the quest log or querying the API in a way that causes this to happen.

I'm not ruling out an issue, but there have been no code changes to LightHeaded in several months.

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.
