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 idea how to do what you did to fix this problem any suggestions on how to go about it?

10? I have 9...

Lightheaded
Lightheaded_Data A, B, C, D, E, NPC, QIDdesc, QIDnames

checking the zip, that's all that's in there.

What am I missing?

Thanks a lot for putting it together, I know I personally don't have the skills to do anything like it.

It was probably not installed correctly. Please remove all LightHeaded folders from your addons directory and reinstall LightHeaded.

I feel really stupid right now. Did what you said and its still not working correctly. I looked at my in-game addon list and it says lightheaded is ok now but all the other lightheaded folders are outdated. Even tho i deleted all the lightheaded folders and reinstalled the new ones.
Sadly i still cannot see the comments attached to the quest.

I changed each lighthead_data Data file in each directory. The first line (Interface #) from 40200 to 40300 then everything worked with out using the load outdated files button. I think maybe the author needs to make a correction to these files for poeple to download.

jnsroof

I know what needs to be changed, but with tens of thousands of users, I'm not in the habit of making a new release with no new information other than a .toc update for some of the data addons. The next data update I have, I will update the interface versions. Until then, it's a trivial exercise to load the addons.

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.
