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.

Seems from looking through the notes they are just randomly tossed in by date so was just wondering. Thanks for the mod and update so far looking good.

They're sorted by rating. Anything below a certain threshold will not be shown.

Edit. Just a side note in case you did not know you might want to watch support for mapnotes. Telic has unfortunately left wow and is no longer updating his mods so if problems arise from your mod and Mapnotes it will not be fixed by Telic. He has offered that anyone can take over his mods so hopefully someone will take over Mapnotes at least.

Okay, I don't really support much/anything about it, but thanks for the heads up.

It doesn't ever give you a 'list of quests that x'. I could probably write a fairly simple addon that can use the LH information for those achievements, but I suspect someone will beat me there.

I understand, as I edited below, I hoped that since you already have the data for all or most of the quests it would be possible to list the quests not completed.

I'll keep a look out for any addons that come along that provide this info.

I play a DK so I've had to start the quests from scratch and its not always apparent where I left off and what quests I already did.

At times I'll waste time going back to a zone I did all the quests for.

It would also be possible to more easily find the quests I missed knowing the ones I already completed.

Blizz could help a lot by breaking out the Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms quests like they do for BC and newer content.

Thanks again.

I play a DK so I've had to start the quests from scratch and its not always apparent where I left off and what quests I already did. My guess is that since you have a database of all the quests, or most of them, you could provide the list of quests that were not completed.

Thanks for the great addon, been using it for years.

How would you want it to take advantage of it?

First off, thanks for all the hard work keeping this going, I for one appreciate it.

Secondly, I'm having an issue with the layout of the LH frame. In the past the frame would jut up against the frame of the quest frame. For some reason now there is a decent sized space between the quest frame and the LightHeaded frame. I'm not sure if it's me, the quest frame mod I use (QuestGuru), or possibly something with LightHeaded itself. It's nothing big, just something I've been trying to post for a while and just kept forgetting about. I've posted a SC of what I was talking about below.

Thanks again.

When Blizzard changed the layout of their quest log, I changed the placement of the window accordingly. QuestGuru never responded by fixing their addon. They are the ones responsible for where the window is being placed. =/.

A big shout-out to you, Cladhaire, for the work you put into revising your addons to keep up with game changes. I'm sure it's not trivial, and I really appreciate it-- I'm sure others do, too.

Heck, just being patient with all of us here is non-trivial

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.
