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.

It works with any quest addon that uses the QuestLogFrame, as stated in the description.

Great, please just email me directly when you get them done. I appreciate the help.

There is also a quest with no special characters that not working and the name is the same in english and german.

When you open your quest log, you should see the comments, it's as simple as that. Disable all other addons, and see if it works then.

Sometimes when in the quest title are special chars => the quest id doesn't work

Thx

No. You can sign up for the addon as a favorite at wowinterface.com, and be notified when the addon is updated. Also, wowinterface.com is currently working on an updater.

Where can I obtain this?

I'll try searching for it.

EDIT: I have downloaded it.

Now, I have a problem with it. How do I choose which website and how to I get the program to see the addons I have isntalled?

Just an FYI for the prior poster, WoW UI Updater works just dandy with everything but ui.worldofwar.net. It definitely grabs LightHeaded from here without an issue.

That may tide you over until the WoWInterface folks decide what they're doing.
