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.

Feature request; start collapsed.

Would it be possible to add an option to have it start closed? It causes some lag when opening, as it loads the text. Is not a huge problem, but would be nice.

version

most recent version of tourguide (well tekkub just uploaded a small update today that i need to install, but i don't think it will change anything). i also thought it might be nquestlog, but i disabled the LightHeaded module and tried disabling/enabling nql, but that was not causing the errors.

------------------------------------------
did not have a guide selected in tour guide. error is gone now

Not sure if it's a problem with TourGuide or not. Bugsack reported LightHeaded and you are also the author of TomTom, so thought I would report here.
What version of TourGuide are you using? The most recent versions don't have any issues that I am aware of.

What can I do?
You have an addon conflicting, one that is scanning the quest log every second or so in wasteful fashion. You need to determine what the conflicting addon is and contact that author to ensure they _stop_ doing what they're doing or have them get in touch with me for specifics.

It never should have been shift click, its simply a click on the coordinates. I have no issues with this after 2.4.2 so if you could do some troubleshooting to help find the conflict, I would appreciate it.

LH API changed in 2.4. F_QF needs to do 1-line change to again be compatible. It's documented elsewhere in this thread. (I don't know it off the top of my head lol.)

The API changed to use numeric quest ids rather than the composite name/level that we were using previously. I have no idea whether QuestFu has been updated on the SVN or not.. so you updating every day won't do a thing unless someone's actually changed the code. There is a thread on the wowace forums that discusses the simple code change that is required.

Don't have it installed... Hmm... I do have CT_Core installed and that has some features to do with quests but I don't have those options enabled. I can try disabling CT_Core entirely and see if that fixes it.
