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 think that would be madman science, and as it is LightHeaded only loads exactly what is needed.. the zip size doesn't indicate anything about what data is actually loaded.

It's funny someone mentioned something similar for achievements, because that's exactly what we are looking for, here on chinese territories ^^. (but with the english translations)

Btw cladhaire I was wondering. Do you think an addon like yours would be able to read directly into a mpq placed in /Xfolder or that would be some kind of madman science ?

Not sure how you updated, but you have two copies of LightHeaded installed. Please reinstall.

I see your point.

This is a great addition, even for the English client! I often click on further quests in a chain, and now I can not only see what the quest name is and read the notes, but I can also read a description of the quests. And it's pretty easy to turn on or off in-game. (I was hoping it would show the rewards for the other quests, but it's still wonderful that you did this!)

That would be a completely separate addon, it's not even close to the same thing =)

Ok someone tested it, and it works great. here is a screen http://wow-in-chinese.forum2jeux.com...st-addon#19504

Really thank you so much. After the setback we suffered with our clients not being able to connect on the servers anymore that's great news to know we can understand what we are questing for.

Cheers!

I tested it on the live EU servers and while its not beautiful, it definitely provides the information you asked for. Please let me know if you run into any discrepancies.

It's done, pushed and posted. There's an option in /lh config that will enable it.

Wow that would be awesome! But no hurry tho, also it's extra work so I don't want it to become a burden for you, if you don't want to do it I can understand.
Maybe with your help we could form a maintainer for a side addon doing this, if you feel it would be more convenient for you.
