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.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4940 Uploads: 19	Re: Re: LH and Floating Frames I'm almost positive this is an issue with the way QuestGuru is altering the underlying quest API. It's resulting in the 'selection' of the player in the log not including a quest id, which every single quest in WoW would do. This error would not and could not occur with the default user interface. I can put something in place to stop the error from being thrown, but it would continue to not function properly. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

Some conflict between FloatingFrames and LightHeaded or QuestGuru. The FF developer said "It has to do with some other addon", so I figured I'd start here. Thanks!

2) As someone reported earlier, I'm having the occasional "tool-tip" that doesn't go away, but gets stuck at the mouse pointer.

Here's the error message: Message: Interface\AddOns\LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:1519: Usage: LightHeadedSearchBox:SetText("text") Time: 06/06/10 18:00:49 Count: 1 Stack: [C]: in function `SetText' Interface\AddOns\LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:1519: in function <Interface\AddOns\LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:1516> [C]: in function `SetItemRef' Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2764: in function `ChatFrame_OnHyperlinkShow' [string ":OnHyperlinkClick"]:1: in function <[string ":OnHyperlinkClick"]:1> Locals: (temporary) = LightHeadedSearchBox { 0 = <userdata> } (temporary) = nil It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but I thought I should let you know about it. 2) As someone reported earlier, I'm having the occasional "tool-tip" that doesn't go away, but gets stuck at the mouse pointer. Thanks for your continued work on this great addon, it's the only questing addon I need to use!

Thus the TourGuide zone guide that I used was for Elwynn Forest. I decided to try other zone guides, and all work perfectly with LightHeaded after a /reloadui. It appears that it is the Elwynn Forest guide file that is incompatible with LH. Perhaps you might be able to look at it and figure out why. Thanks so much for your attention to this issue, and for a most useful mod.! cheers, huwon

Lua Errors are enabled, and none appear in the chat window.

I don't experience this behaviour with TourGuide and LightHeaded, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Try disabling AddonLoader?

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.
