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.

I need to know which quest ids. It should also have text that says if there was any issue loading the addon that contains the data.

What client locale are you on, and which NPCs?

Are you up-to-date? You can turn on debug messages with /lh debug.

You're certainly welcome to use whatever addons you like. I prefer to have ONLY the functionality I need, which is specifically why I use Mapster and TomTom.

hi, thanks for your great addon.
On french client, Lighthead can't find any npc location. (location unknown)
i've tried without any other addon loaded, so it don't seams to be a conflict issue.
However, comments from Wowhead are working fine

Yes, I could certainly do this, but it would be inside the NPC information page not on the main outside page. Would that be okay?



Great, thanks for reporting back, I appreciate it!
When Using CA + LH.

click the coord in LH doesnot show the note on the map....

There is a big download link on the main page.. not sure how else to explain it.

New problem for me...

I've been using Lightheaded for a long time... I just downloaded this new version and installed it on both of my PCs.... works perfectly on the XP machine, however it is giving me issues on the Vista PC.... I have already set WoW's compatibility to XP and am running it as Administrator.... my issue is, while the Coordinates do set like they are suppose to when I click linked coordinates inside the Quest help, clicking on NPC names listed on the Quest overview no longer links to that NPCs coordinates like they use to.

Like I said, it still works fine on the XP machine....

Any ideas??

Importing wowHead Info

Wonderful Addon!!!!

I had issue last night while I was running quests. Seems I wasn't getting any wowhead info for any Wrath related quests. No errors in the Addon Itself was still working with BC quests... just wasn't gathering Wrath quests. Is this a "known issue" atm... or am I just broken on my end and need to reset my UI?
