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.

This is NOT a problem with LightHeaded. You have another addon that is causing the conflict. Typical addons are older versions of Carbonite Quest and Armory. To prove this to yourself, disable all addons except the LightHeaded ones and watch it work perfectly.

There is no way for me to "fix" this. It's a problem with the other addon that they need to fix, or you need to update. Please feel free to read the comments here for more information.

BEQL should be one of the few that works. Try a newer version to see if it works for you!

Found a report on http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/10495/ that mentions Lightheaded and beql.

Love Lightheaded. Thank you for your hard work!

Smile Love this Add-on!

Thank you for all your hard work---this is a great add-on that even the die-hard "not gonna use add-ons" in my guild are beginning to use because it is so helpful! I have a question though; you said to delete previous versions before installing this one and any data add-ons that may be laying around. I use QuestGuru--that isn't what you are talking about is it?

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: You did not read the text carefully enough, it says: "please remove any prior versions of LightHeaded (and it's data addons) that you might have laying around..."

Meaning that you should delete the following directories (as well as the "LightHeaded" directory):

...\Interface\Addons\LightHeaded_Data_A\
...\Interface\Addons\LightHeaded_Data_B\
...\Interface\Addons\LightHeaded_Data_C\
...\Interface\Addons\LightHeaded_Data_D\
...\Interface\Addons\LightHeaded_Data_E\

These are the data addons that contain the quest comments.

QuestGuru (Version 0.9.4) works well with LightHeaded.

Just wanted to note the conflict with LightHeaded. It seems when one of the location headings are minimized, LightHeaded won't let you go past the first page. With all the location heading's expanded, it works properly. I don't know WoW scripting, but it seems like it's a variable issue or something. I don't know. Luckily it's workable, but it would be nice if it was fixed.

This isn't something I can fix. You can go past the first page.. it just flips back to another page because whatever addons is doing it.. is doing it wrong. There is nothing I can do in LightHeaded to fix this, so I suggest bringing it up with the relevant authors.

LightHeaded won't be getting posted on curse. TomTom, perhaps in the future, but I'm in no rush to post them anywhere other than here.

Quest Bugged in LH

The quest "Isha Awak" in LH is bugged (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=873). When selected in the Quest Log, I have /lh page set to show all on one page, when trying to scroll down to get coords it auto shoots back up to the top of the page and wont let you read the comments. I just started lvl n a alt and so far this is the only quest that has done it so far.

FYI Love the mod(s).

It isn't a problem with the quest, or LightHeaded.. YOu have another addon that is incorrectly scanning the quest log on an interval. You can see this by disabling all addons except LightHeaded, and seeing that it works as expected.

Great addon.
Is there a addon that does the same for item? Like "this item used in x quest" ?
