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.

It was probably not installed correctly. Please remove all LightHeaded folders from your addons directory and reinstall LightHeaded.
I feel really stupid right now. Did what you said and its still not working correctly. I looked at my in-game addon list and it says lightheaded is ok now but all the other lightheaded folders are outdated. Even tho i deleted all the lightheaded folders and reinstalled the new ones.
Sadly i still cannot see the comments attached to the quest.
If they say outdated, then load out of date addons. That's why the checkbox is there.

Cool "it makes me smile to know that people still find some of my addons useful!"

Useful? No, it isn't useful, it is imperative, it is necessary, it is superb!

I can't make these add-ons and I need you guys to do it. Thank you!.

I know every so often the haters pop up and complain, so I wanted to make sure I got in my 'thank you for going thru all this crap' for us.

Thank you for the update :)

Thank you for the work you put into this. I agree with Kugar. This is a great help for questing. The L-button is not the same without LightHeaded

  • Threaded comments just appear after the parent comment, this should make responses easy to find
  • Fixed an issue with NPC coordinates so they work properly now
  • Any comments with negative rating or 'deleted' status are dropped and aren't available in LightHeaded.

We're up over 115k comments. Thank you all for your support, it makes me smile to know that people still find some of my addons useful!
