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.

I have no interest in taking over EQL3. Does that error happen by default, or just when my addon is enabled? I suspect there would just end up being some weird interaction with the hook rules, if that's the case.

I may just make a slash command that activates it, and have a "mode" that lets you specify whether its automatic or not.

Also, the frame it opens goes clear across the screen (for me anyway). I'll try posting a screeny if you need. I use a widescreen monitor and the frame is ginormous.

This is intentional at the moment, its visually very immature, and anchoring to WorldFrame gave me a good starting point.

I'll try posting a screeny if you need. I use a widescreen monitor and the frame is ginormous. Making it work with Uberquest or another quest mod would be great. I use Uberquest but another that maybe more use would be fantastic.

ahhh...it was previously mentioned. Here I thought I was finding something groundbreaking.

Looking forward to an updated version.

Thanks for all your hard work, Clad!

Aethra A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 42 Uploads: 3	I've found a bug! When I open my quest log using the L key and then hit L again, my computer locks up hard. I can move my mouse but cannot do anything...including alt tab. The only thing I can do is reset my machine manually. I've done it twice previously by mistake within the past day and just did it twice more. I'm using the english wow client and a whole lot of mods. However, it happens on my baby warrior alt who uses no mods aside from this & Carto. That being said... I love this mod. Since TBC, I've had many graphics issues. Alt tabbing to check Thott/WoWHead seems to make them happen more frequently. This is exactly what I was looking for! The fact that Clad wrote it doesn't hurt either.

Says no comments... but, I know they are there. Perhaps a conflict with anoth addon? I get no errors or anything, just a blank window. I know, not much help. Seeing as your the one creating it, i had to check it out. I tried sid67 addon as well, it showed the comments, but couldn't get them to show with yours.

I liked the concept, but couldn't get the addon working in a barebones UI environment, so I decided to work on one of my own (I had access to the internet, but not WoW while I was out of town). Most of the code was written while sitting in the Cleveland airport. I enjoyed the parsing of the wowhead database, and I have some good ideas for the UI for this addon that I didn't see in either original, which is why I worked on it in the first place. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

I don't have any issues with Cladhaire creating a new addon that does the same thing. Alternatives and choice is always good. I write addons to make my life easier when I play the game. Ultimately, it's the game that I want to play--not code writing. If someone else does it in a way I like better, then I'll gladly abandon my own stuff in favor of thiers. This happens ALL THE TIME with stuff I write just for me. Stifling innovation and improvemtn for mere pride's sake is just silly.

Also.. My addon is, in fact, simply an improvement upon qcomment and it would be pretty hypocritical of me to bash Cladhaire for building a new addon (from the ground up) that simply provides the same function.

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.
