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.

VerasGunn A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 32 Uploads: 0	There's a reason why I use Cartographer. Alphamaps, as far as I can tell, doesn't do waypoints, which would require tomtom. I'd rather have one add-on that does what I want, rather than several that do the same function. I'm familiar with cartographer, and my memory can actually handle it, thus why I use it.

Yes, I could certainly do this, but it would be inside the NPC information page not on the main outside page. Would that be okay?

Great, thanks for reporting back, I appreciate it!

When Using CA + LH.

click the coord in LH doesnot show the note on the map....

There is a big download link on the main page.. not sure how else to explain it.

tastim A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	New problem for me... I've been using Lightheaded for a long time... I just downloaded this new version and installed it on both of my PCs.... works perfectly on the XP machine, however it is giving me issues on the Vista PC.... I have already set WoW's compatibility to XP and am running it as Administrator.... my issue is, while the Coordinates do set like they are suppose to when I click linked coordinates inside the Quest help, clicking on NPC names listed on the Quest overview no longer links to that NPCs coordinates like they use to. Like I said, it still works fine on the XP machine.... Any ideas??

Ultimatum A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Importing wowHead Info Wonderful Addon!!!! I had issue last night while I was running quests. Seems I wasn't getting any wowhead info for any Wrath related quests. No errors in the Addon Itself was still working with BC quests... just wasn't gathering Wrath quests. Is this a "known issue" atm... or am I just broken on my end and need to reset my UI?

Ahhh I see. WHy would anyone choose cartographer...it's a memory hog right? Seems like it works fine with alpha map!

Further, by using the slash command, you can add descriptions to the way points so that's it's easier to plot out your zone runs.

I haven't dissected Quixote's code to see if anything could be changed there.

I am really not comfortable with changing my code to work around a bug in another addon.

Yeah, there really shouldn't be a reason for this to be happening, but I'm not terribly sure how to avoid it on my end. SelectQuestLogEntry() is really the main entry point for the quest log (at least in this regard) so it makes the most sense for me to be using it to accomplish my work.

I'm open to suggestions..

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.
