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 thought you might like to know that it still happens when you click on an NPC.

For example, the quest [69] The Hermit Smith - on the very first page of the LH data it shows the quest ID, the level and required level, the names of the NPCs who start and end the quest etc.

The NPC names are hyperlinks and when u click on to get more info about his location, it jumps back to the first page of the quest info.

No other changes to mods from my prev post except I am using r217 for LH.

Cheers,
RJS.
I again, cannot reproduce this using Carbonite Quest. Hopefully the issue will be fully resolved in the next CQ update either way.

Thanks for the report. Easy to fix things when they're reported like this :PP

Make sure you're using the default quest log (i.e. don't have another replacement). The best way to see how LH works, is to start a test character on another sever, and disable all addons except LightHeaded. That will give you a better idea of how it works.

Just looked at Change log. Funny cause I just fixed Carbonite issues with r215. Now I gotta test again.

FYI: Carbonite and Carbonite Quest both select the quest when the watch list updates once per second. The quest selection is restored after update, but it causes the LH page to go back to 1. The watch update no longer changes the quest selection in the next versions that will be out tonight or tomorrow.
Great, I also put some code in that cache the value in order to stop things from blinking like that.

Dunno if this has been brought up or not but since 2.4, my Lightheaded does not show the name of the quest when I hover over the waypoint on the main map or minimap anymore, it just shows the Quest ID. Is there some configuration I'm missing or anything I can do?
You're using an old version of LightHeaded. Please ensure your bug hasn't been fixed in the changelog before reporting them, thanks!

Sometimes when searching for just coords or a nice strategy...i would like to mark the pages or delete the ones with sensless comments
No, there is not, perhaps in the future.

Lightheaded after 2.4

Dunno if this has been brought up or not but since 2.4, my Lightheaded does not show the name of the quest when I hover over the waypoint on the main map or minimap anymore, it just shows the Quest ID. Is there some configuration I'm missing or anything I can do?

After pressing "L" to bring up the quest log, there's a little thing along the right you can open with the usual WOW opener icon, which will pull op the Lightheaded data.

QuestGuru's a nice enhancement to use along with lightheaded if you don't already have something like it.

line 241 error

my 2 cents again

since r217 saves the page number, if you scroll to page 17 one one quest, then select a quest with less than 17 pages of data it stills wants to show page 17.


in " function LightHeaded:SelectQuestLogEntry(index) " change:

if qid == previous_qid then
return
end

to:

if qid == previous_qid then
return
else
lhframe.current_page = 1
end


to reset the page number to 1 when selecting a new quest

happy side effect:
this also brings back the re-clicking the same quest to return to page 1

The newest version of Carbonite re-breaks it. How freaking obnoxious.
