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.

I'm sorry but this can't be caused by only LightHeaded. The only time that LightHeaded changes the quest it is displaying is when someone calls the SelectQuestLogEntry() function. This is only called by the default user interface in the quest log code (when you click a new quest, etc). Addons that are known to cause this issue are Armory and a few others.

Maybe a command line feature ie...

/lh [quest link here]

or

/lh show [quest link here]
Yes, I would like to see this, but not sure how soon I'll put it in.

How do you mean "the old one is still the one enabled". I don't understand what that means.

LH does not "support" anything.. if something broke it was in another addon. LightHeaded is designed to work with the default ques log, any other integration is done by the other addon.

Not at the moment, no.

None of these addons provide that feature. As listed in the addon description, I use Gazmik Fizzwidget's Levelator to display quest levels.

Always has :P

My issue is this: After updating lightheaded, clicking on coordinates no longer brings up a waypoint arrow. I've deleted and re-downloaded the update to no avail. I'm not running Fubar_questsFu or any other questhelping mods. I tried running it with Cartographer disabled, and that doesn't help either. Any ideas?

Thanks for all your hard work on this otherwise stellar addon!
I don't know which version of Cartographer you are running, but waypoints are absolutely working with TomTom. Have you tried that?
