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.

Any chance you think you could change the color of the Arrow when you click on the coordinates to set a way-point from TomTom?

The regular silver makes it hard to tell. I mean, I know which ones they are, but it would just be better if it was a Blue or something.

Anyway, that's the only thing I felt needed to be suggested (which I'm sure it has many times before.)

Thanks for a wonderful addon(s)!

I've been trying since the day I made the addon. No.

Please forgive me on this question, first time user of LH.....
The quest information that is on here, you state that the data is not requested until asked for..... Does the data automatically come from WowHead or is it just included in a any new data patch from here?

It is packaged with the addon itself. There is no way to contact a web site from in-game, so I package the data up weekly.

Hello again.

So Uberquest's new maintainer added a beta version with support for Lightheaded

I have, unfortunately, run into another dilemma. For some reason, sometimes the arrows which would point me to the comments on the quest do no show up. So all I would see if the quest description.

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9...7171508iw5.jpg

However, if I enable "/lh page" then I can see the comment, but I cannot scroll.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5...7171519pk3.jpg

Is there a remedy for fixing this? Thanks again for a great addon.

There has to be another addon conflicting somewhere. Again, please ensure it works with no other addons enabled, and then let me know which addon seems t be causing the issue. I can't really look into anything else without that information.

Inevitably, a conflict with another addon, something I cannot test. Disable all addons except LightHeaded, and see if it works properly. Then enable addons a few at a time until you find the conflict. I can't fix it, until I know whats causing it.

The question marks, as seen on Mn3MoN1C's quest log (http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5...171519pk3.jpg), remind me of MobMap (www.mobmap.de). MobMap seems to be more frequently updated than other addons. It has an optional setup executable. That latest MobMap might be the tail of Mn3MoN1C's and Mithix's tiger <- just my $0.02.

Can't click on any link?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question...

But I can't click on any link (being a quest starter/ending NPC) or another quest from a series. Whenever I try to click on a underlined item it just simply does nothing.

And the quest series are marqued as "quest 475", "quest 485" and so on, instead of the quest name.

Any idea?

I have tried deleting all lightheaded* folder and files from the Interface and WTF directory and reinstalling, but without any success.

Thanks for this great mod.

Inevitably you have another addon that is conflicting or not supporting LightHeaded properly. Disable all addons except LightHeaded, verify that it works correctly, and then enable mods until you figure out whats conflicting, then let me know so I can help. Thanks.
