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.

Any ideas?
Disable all addons, except LightHeaded.
See if you can reproduce the issue.
If you can't, enable addons until you find the conflict.
Report the conflict so we can resolve it.

No plans to make this addon available anywhere other than wowinterface. You can be notified by wowinterface by email whenever the addon is updated. Let me now if you need more information.

Thanks.

Wow, your patience is extraordinary, Cladhaire.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the addon. It has made me giggle with joy when I've been about to alt+tab, and then remembered I have your addon; *opens quest log instead*

Okay, so I didn't actually giggle, but it sure is nice.

Thanksies =)


... you know... 'cause I'm a man!

There are absolutely 0 issues with TomTom.. Enable the checkbox that says "Load out of date addons" on the addon selection screen. Nothing is "broken" about TomTom at the moment.

Here are steps:

1. Log into World of Warcraft
2. At the character selection screen, click the Addons button in the lower left-hand corner.
3. In the top-right of the window that pops up, check the box labelled "Load out of date addons".

I will update the .toc number with the next release.

You can manually add coordinates.. the clicking to add is just a bonus. If you want temporary waypoints, TomTom offers that, and all other features can be turned off. In the future, I hope to integrate it with metamap, but it will take some time.

Are you using the default quest log? Did you disable all addons except LightHeaded's addons and test it out? If so, did you re-enable addons to find out which one is conflicting? I can't help you unless I have more information. There are no known issues with LightHeaded.

Ensure you have all the data folders installed and ENABLED.
