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.

Love the mod. One potential bug though. I was doing a quest in Feralas. The link to the WoWHead data gave a coordinate for the location I was supposed to go. I clicked the link and TomTom put in a waypoint. I went to the coordinates shown by TomTom but there was nothing there. I went back and read the quest log again and discovered that the coordinates were supposed to be in the Hinterlands!

There probably isn't anyway to determine which map the coordinates are supposed to be referring to but, I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Thanks for the great plug-in's
It should work correctly all the time. In your Interface Options, make sure the checkbox "Show Lua errors" is enabled. You can also manually set a waypoint using /way x y.

Only when i open the default quest screen, with lightheaded that pops up, i do can click coordinates.
Keep in mind, that I don't do anything with QuestFu, I only can control what happens when you actually use the main LightHeaded window. If you want more features from QuestFu, you need to request those from that author.

Thanks.

Im using Cartographer and QuestFu. Does Lightheaded work with cartographer and/or QuestFu? Hows the memory usage from Lightheaded?
Yes it does. Download and install it to see what sort of effect on memory the addon has for you. It only loads the most pertinent data, so its extremely lightweight.

You should use the default quest log. It would help to know what other addons you might have that would interfere. Disable all addons but the LightHeaded ones, and see if you can get it working. If so, enable addons in groups until you find the one that'[s causing the issue.

You download an addon that gives you quest levels in the quest log, such as CT_Core, Gazmik Fizzwidget's Levelator, etc.
