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.

It uses 0 memory if you're not looking at your quests.. it uses abotu 2 megs of memory if you are.

Memory doesn't make a difference.

Thanks for the update, Clad. This is an extremely useful mod.

Incidentally, I disagree with some of the previous comments. Sure, regular updates when new quests are being added in, such as after patch 2.1, are useful - but as comments don't get updated in particularly useful ways very much at all after a specific quest has been out for a couple of weeks, I don't see the need for particularly frequent updates during those times when quests are not being added to the game.

My two pence! And great mod, again! :P

I understand that compiling all the new comments on Wowhead every week (if there are any) is a boatload of work. But mods like this become less & less useful over time--and CTRL-ESCing instead (or dual monitors/computers) to reach Wowhead becomes more & more viable--if the mod is not kept updated.

Problem with EQL

This mod doesn't seem to work with the latest EQL, it freezes up when I click on a quest. Completely freezes my computer. So I am following up on the previous comment about freezing up with EQL. It doesn't work. Disabled EQL and worked fine.

I understand your view of not coding in support for EQL, but I just had to see if they were both working together after I saw your comment. Sadly, they aren't.
AFAIK EQL hooks into the default quest log functions and changes their outputs. As I understand it changes the format of what is returned to Blizz's default quest log when it asks for quest information.

Which is why EQL will never work nicely with any other quest addons with out it having to be re-written each time it conflicts with another quest addon.

This is no fault of Cladhaire - he is just coding for what he expects to be returned from blizz's default quest log functions.

Please lodge your concerns with the author of EQL - it needs to be redesigned and given a major code overhaul so it is not patching the default quest log functions thereby ensuring that it will work with other quest log addons.

Well if there's a bug, I will look into it. Thanks for the report.

You have an addon that is giving you quest levels. Don't use it for right now.

Gryff,

I see the message almost immediately after opening the quest pane.

Was this addon updated yesterday 5/10? it seems the same.

C,
Nope I never see anything about data loading when I press on my quest log (or a specific quest). Roughly how long might it take for that to show up?

I will also try the new character tactic and see i that helps, or at least shows up.
