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.

Thank you so very much! I have to say, this has made quality of life in WoW a lot easier for me, and I'm sure a lot of other people. Thank you for the work you do.

This addon should not be discontinued but... give it to an another author to proper update.

LightHeaded seems to function just fine in Shadowlands, although the quests for the expansion obviously aren't included within.

What in particular isn't working for you?

i didnt realize you had to code the quests in individually you covered what it was the shadowlands quests showing blanks

I'm making a fix in ClassicQuestLog to work around this, but for the issue:

In the 9.0 client on retail servers today and since the pre-patch, the following are no longer defined:

GetQuestLogTitle (it's now https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_C_QuestLog.GetInfo and returns a table, not multiple returns)
GetQuestLogSelection (it's now https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_C_Ques...tSelectedQuest and continues to return a number)
among others. (These are the only two deprecated functions in the execution path when ClassicQuestLog's deprecated SelectQuestIndex is hooked.)

These were pretty central to the pre-9.0 quest API. (It's a testament to how well LightHeaded was written that it works at all with the above two functions are nil!)

Complicating this, the addon ClassicQuestLog was rewritten to use the new quest API so the hook it makes to ClassicQuestLog:SelectQuestIndex(index) no longer exists. (I wasn't aware LightHeaded was hooking this.) This causes the error at line 96 in LightHeaded.lua.

However, adding an empty function call and calling it with an index (ClassicQuestLog selects quests by questID now, not log index), will trigger an error on line 97 in LightHeader.lua because GetQuestLogTitle was deprecated in the 9.0 client.

So for the interim, until LightHeaded is fixed, I'm adding two functions to ClassicQuestLog:

Lua Code:

-- to make it easier for outside programs to hook quests being selected
function cql.log:SelectQuestID(questID)
    C_QuestLog.SetSelectedQuest(questID)
    cql:SetMode("detail")
    -- for LightHeaded (or anything else that calls the old 1.x function that was removed)
    cql:SelectQuestIndex(C_QuestLog.GetLogIndexForQuestID(questID))
end
 
-- fix for lightheaded which hooks this deprecated function and calls deprecated GetQuestLogTitle and GetQuestLogSelection
function cql:SelectQuestIndex(index)
    if IsAddOnLoaded("LightHeaded") then
        -- this defines GetQuestLogTitle which is replaced by C_QuestLog.GetInfo in the 9.0 client
        if not GetQuestLogTitle then
            GetQuestLogTitle = function(index)
                local info = C_QuestLog.GetInfo(index)
                return info.title, info.level, info.suggestedGroup, info.isHeader, info.isCollapsed, info.isComplete, info.frequency, info.questID
            end
        end
        -- this defines GetQuestLogTitle which is replaced by C_QuestLog.GetSelectedQuest in the 9.0 client
        if not GetQuestLogSelection then
            GetQuestLogSelection = C_QuestLog.GetSelectedQuest
        end
    end
end

I'm posting my updates later tonight. When LightHeaded is next updated, I recommend changing this in LightHeaded.lua:

Lua Code:

hooksecurefunc(ClassicQuestLog,"SelectQuestIndex", function(cql, index)
    local title, level, suggestedGroup, isHeader, isCollapsed, isComplete, frequency, questID = GetQuestLogTitle(index);
    self:OpenQuestID(questID)
end)

to this:

Lua Code:

hooksecurefunc(ClassicQuestLog.log,"SelectQuestID", function(cql, questID)
    self:OpenQuestID(questID)
end)

One LightHeaded is updated, I'll remove the cql:SelectQuestIndex() above if it's no longer called.

Thanks Gello, this came at a weird time for me and slipped through my cracks. You can always reach out to me directly as well if there's something like this. I'll see what I can do.

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.
