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.

Question Bug

Hi there, I'm French and I'm trying to use your addon that seems really great!
Bug I've a problem when I choose a quest in my questBook I have this error :

Could not found quest information 'Quest' [Level]

Well something like that so I went in the *.lua files and tried to replace 1 or 2 quest name by the french name, but it's not working

Im using Fubar. I only want the window next to the quest tracker to appear not the comments window linked with lightheaded. how do i remove it?
I have no idea, none of that has anything to do with LightHeaded, other than the fact that nQuestLog uses LightHeaded if it exists. You'll need to talk to the author of that addon. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I don't use FuBar, or nQuestLog.

Will it work for only new quests? What I am doing wrong?
LightHeaded, as described, only works with the default quest log, or quest logs that use QuestLogFrame. I suggest as a simple test, you create a new character, disable all addons on that character other than LightHeaded and the data addons, and test it out.

Not at the moment.. and you're welcome :P

It's hard to see that color up against background.
I wanted to set it to Yellow or something bright enough to see.
No there is not.

Really nice mod. The only complaint I have is how it scrolls out of the side with a funky sound. Id rather see it just appear and disappear silently.
Use the /lh sound command to disable the noise, as documented on the addon's page.

Please read some of the comments before posting. I don't make LightHeaded "work" with other addons, they must make their addon compatible with LightHeaded. There are too many damn quest log replacements for anything else to work.
