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.

Reason for asking is no Thunder Isle or Timeless Isle comments included. I woud love those aswell. Ty for an otherwise truley awsome addon. /Rab

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	My comments indicate quite clearly that I am still here. I'm working on a solution, but the quests are not searchable on wowhead. That means I cannot include them in an automated way. If someone wants to collect a list of the numerical ids that need to be fetched, I can try to iterate that list, but it would need to be kept up to date. __________________ "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.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	The good news is that I found a way to find the quests (or at least most of them) from Thunder and Timeless. I've running a new scrape for processing. The bad news is last time I ran the update, there was an issue parsing the quests. That can take either no time, or quite a bit of time. We'll see how it goes when I'm able to look at the output of the run. I wouldn't expect anything in the short-term, but things may be moving in the right direction. __________________ "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.

So I might be an idiot, as I usually use Curse to download/install my addons, but I'm having a problem because LH wont show up in my addon list at all. I downloaded the file, placed it in my interface/addon folder, and nothing happens. Why isn't it available via curse? What am I doing wrong? I loved this addon and when I had to wipe my computer I didn't think I'd have this much difficulty reinstalling it. :/

There is a text file in the root of the .zip file. It explains how the addon needs to be installed.

In short, all of the LightHeaded directories (there should be many) need to be in your addon folder.

This might be obvious but overlooked - have you checked "load out of date add-ons" in the game client options before entering the game?

Could it be a bad download from Curse? Maybe delete those directories, install manually from the download on WoW Interface (unzip into the Interface/Add Ons folder) and see if that corrects it.

Good luck!

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.
