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.

Try taking this:

Download it, rename it to LightHeaded.lua and reload your user interface. See if it fares any better.

Okay, but where do I put the file?

This says that the 'scale' of the LH frame is set to 1.0, which is full sized.

2) [1]-0.6499

This says that due to some parenting relationship, the scale of the frame is actually set to 0.6499 which means the frame is 64% of whatever size it is currently set to, but this is not why the frame is as small as it is.

3) [1]-*QuestLogDetailFrame*

This says that the parent of the frame is the QuestLogDetailFrame, which is fine.. no issues there.

4) [1]-0.1000

And this shows that the QuestLogDetailFrame has had its scale changed to be 0.1.

5) [1]-0.0649

I actually thought you did. I am slightly agitated and it is because of earlier. I'm sorry.

I can do that, and I'll post a new comment here with the information each /dump command gives me. However I do not know yet what you mean by you don't need prise numbers only 4 decimal places... because I haven't yet seen what it displays. [/b]

Go ahead and do the following:

/dump LightHeadedFrame:GetScale()
/dump LightHeadedFrame:GetEffectiveScale()
/dump LightHeadedFrame:GetParent():GetName()
/dump LightHeadedFrame:GetParent():GetScale()
/dump LightHeadedFrame:GetParent():GetEffectiveScale()

When its in the state you've posted in the screenshot.

I don't need PRECISE numbers.. 4 decimal places is more than enough.

Note that I didn't configure or change anything, I just re-enabled every addon with Lightheaded and the data to it all at once, and logged in and took a screenshot instantly.

I did back it up, it's just there is no point in showing you a screenshot, when I've determined that the reason it wasn't working without any other addons for me was because of a corrupted WTF folder.

Thank you!

There is no need for a screenshot because it will just show it working now, because I did delete my WTF folder before I tried it, and now it's working fine as it's suppose to (without addons). As for working correctly with the addons I normally use, I'll try that now and let you know. So basically it was the WTF folder corruption that caused the problem "WITHOUT AddOns". With them, I'm about to find out.

I know that the code I added is causing that conflict. But there is absolutely NOTHING in the code that changes the size of the frame. Nothing, absolutely none.

That doesn't mean that it's not causing it somehow, someway. Just because it's working fine for you, doesn't mean that there is no issue with Lightheaded. It could be a curruption problem within the WTF folder... I know in the past I use to have a lot of problems with that (which was just last week).

When that occurs I usually have to delete my WTF folder, and let World of Warcraft servers recreate a new one for the addons to automatically put their saved variables in, and if they don't then I have to manually do it.

My extensive knowledge of how the pattern works in WTF folders has led me to believe that it's very well possible that that is what has happened, but I Don't know yet.

Okay, I can take a screenshot for you.

I can't for the life of me find another problem, so maybe you should fiddle with the QuestLogDetailFrame support that you added, I can't do much more because I don't know LUA and I can't understand it, when I try it frustrates me...

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.
