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.

That database would be 4.4MiB by itself, but I can generate it. I'd have to add an option into LightHeaded to load this data and include it when appropriate, that would take some time.

That's what I'm thinking about doing, I just have to see how feasible that is. Let me take a look at it.

Thank you for your fast answer in any case. Do you think if the descriptions were implemented via a separate addon it would make the database a little bit more viable?

Most people just wants to be able to understand the quest log for the lore actually.

Here is a link to our community forum if you'd like to have an idea of what we are living at the moment ^^

Possible, yes. Likely very infeasible, also yes due to the size of the database that would require. I have most of that information, but making it available in a way that doesn't completely explode the size of LightHeaded would be difficult. I'll think about it and see if I can come up with a better solution.

Hello cladhaire,

I was wondering if it was possible to add the quest description from wowhead in your addon as well.

The story is I'm a part of an expatriate community playing in wow China, and since the release of cataclysm yesterday we can't use our foreign clients anymore, so we are stuck with the chinese client.

So we are looking at some ways to get translations for what can be translated. Your addon seems able to do suchs things, that would be awesome to get the english quest descriptions from wowhead.

Do you think it is possible or easy to implement it?

It's freshly re-generated each time, so yes..

Got it, I had fixed it previously and didn't commit the change so when I ran the parse on another machine it didn't come through. Running a fresh parse now!

Still getting about 1000 comments instead of the 70k+ I should be getting. I'll look at it after lunch.

Any progress?

I've been working with them since the day the addon came out, not going to happen.
