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.

ShowUIPanel(QuestLogFrame) end end) This might be a little too hackish for your tastes, but it will allow LH to show up when someone selects 'Open Quest Details' from Blizzard's watch frame.

Here's a patch I made trying to get LH to work with the QuestLogDetailsFrame.

It creates an invisible frame attached to QuestLogFrame or QuestLogDetailsFrame - which ever LightHeadedFrame isn't currently using as a parent - and reparents it when that frame becomes visible.

Plus some extra stuff to make Showing/Hiding/Attaching/Detaching continue to work as expected.

abraXas- A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	Can you change or add an option for the cross to not close the entire Quest Log but only the LightHeaded frame? To open it up again might add a keycombinating like ALT+Click. Or remove it altogether and add an ">" / "<" button to the default Quest Log that hides and unhides the LightHeaded frame. That'd be nice.

I take it you mean the actual LightHeaded comments thing? You post a comment on the relevant www.wowhead.com quest page.

I have the same problem, I even tried without any AddOns and it still doesn't show up really; just a tiny little thing to the right of the questlog. Here is a screenshot that shows it, for a better descriptions:

Nope, it's not Carbonite causing the problem. As I stated below I have tried it without any AddOns at all.

Oddly for me with Carbonite it is tiny but if I press Alt+L for the normal questlog (Carbonite option) then I see it attached normally and fullsize to the default quest log. Weirdness.

Same, same, but don't know why.

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.
