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.

Here is the addon: Bayi's Extended QuestLog

Thanks!

Great let me know if it works out for you.

I've downloaded it and the only problem I have is that the tab to open up LightHeaded doesn't appear when I use the EQL3 Quest Log addon. It's Like DoubleWide, except with better features that I like. I disabled it and I can see the LightHeaded tab perfectly fine with the regular Blizzard Quest Log.

Does this mean I have to get a different Quest Log addon?

Unfortunately, I can't code support for every quest addon under the sun. If an addon wants to support LightHeaded, they simply need to use the QuestLogFrame, and alter it to loook and operate as they'd like (This should be the preferred method either way). If the author is active, they can get in touch with me for more information.

How do I make it visable again after I attach it ( I can only view it while its deatched ).

There is a small stub stuck to the right hand side of the quest log frame, in the middle. Click that to re-expand LightHeaded. You can see this stub by viewing the screenshots above.

I went back and read the quest log again and discovered that the coordinates were supposed to be in the Hinterlands!

There probably isn't anyway to determine which map the coordinates are supposed to be referring to but, I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Not a bug, There's no way for me to determine what zone a coordinate set should be in, unless they specify continent and zone. Problem with the coordinates in comments, not the addon. Sorry.

Thanks for the great plug-in's

It should work correctly all the time. In your Interface Options, make sure the checkbox "Show Lua errors" is enabled. You can also manually set a waypoint using /way x y.

The only thing im missing is, when im checking a quest with QuestFu, the Lightheaded screen opens, but i cant click any coords, not on lightheaded or QuestFu.
Only when i open the default quest screen, with lightheaded that pops up, i do can click coordinates.

Keep in mind, that I don't do anything with QuestFu, I only can control what happens when you actually use the main LightHeaded window. If you want more features from QuestFu, you need to request those from that author.

Thanks.

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.
