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.

You know how on the wowhead page for a quest it tells you the amount of gold you receive for doing a quest at level 70? Considering I'm level 70 now, well, it would be nice if lightheaded could show that! Is that possible Cladhaire?! I hope so.
The quest log shows you this...

I just got a brilliant idea.. Well, atleast I think it's brilliant..

How about splitting LH up into 2 archives..

Archive 1: LightHeaded, LightHeaded_deDE_Data, LightHeaded_NPC_Data, LightHeaded_Quest_Data

Archive 2: LightHeaded_A20_Data, LightHeaded_A40_Data, LightHeaded_A60_Data, LightHeaded_A80_Data, LightHeaded_H20_Data, LightHeaded_H40_Data, LightHeaded_H60_Data, LightHeaded_H80_Data

And the run a script that updates Archive 2, daily, bi-weekely or just weekly..

That way, we always have fresh data in LH, even if thee is no new version or LH..

Alternatively, you could "teach us" how to harvest the data files from Wowhead
Nope, you can download them from this website. If you have an account click "Add to Favorites" and then you can sign up to be notified via email when the file is updated.

Also, the only data that ever changes is the data in LightHeaded. The rest is all stub addons.

disable all addons. enable ONLY lightheaded and the lightheaded data addons and see if when you open the quest log if you can see it. There may be some conflict with another addon.

You have to be more specific about the problems you're having.
How is it "not working".
Have you verified that it is installed correctly?
Are you using PartyQuests? Did you just start using Cosmos?

I need more info, please.
