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.

Confirmed the Stormwind dailies work fine, so it must just be the death knight intro area that is problematic.

Not working with TomTom

The latest Lightheaded no longer seems to integrate with TomTom. :/

I use Curse downloader (v4). It lists Lightheaded as one of my addons and has a dialogue box linking to here at wowinterface. The annoying feature is it doesn't tell me when it has been updated. Not really a problem as I just click on the link every week or so to see if there is an update :-)

As for searching, I am not currently aware of a way to have my addon listed at Curse but not have any files for download and have a reasonable redirection to wowinterface in order to download it. Also, I'm afraid that would begin a new round of the 'holy war' that's happened a few times now and I'm not entirely sure I have the time or the effort for that.

It would probably also bring in some additional revenue streams since you can't find this addon at all in their search engine (it can actually point back to this site if you want people to download it only from here).

Anyway, just thought I'd share this with you in case you weren't aware that your addon wasn't searchable there anymore.

Sounds like an awesome change! I haven't been able to test it to see exactly how it functions yet (don't have one of those NPC quests right now), but thanks for the 'fix'!

r337 contains an update and an option to 'fix' the NPC window when dealing with Lightheaded. This option can be accessed using /lh config, but there is currently no slash command for this option.

Basically, if LH is attached to the quest panel and the NPC model is there, it will be placed on top of the LH frame in a way that is unobtrusive. This also has the neat feature of when you have LH attached by the panel is closed, the NPC appears behind the quest log, which is a bug but I kept in because it looks awesome.

When detached, you can move the window so suck up and deal!

Hope it works for all of those who reported it, thank you for being patient.

Don't know if this has been reported or not, but ever since the "kill this named enemy" type quests had pictures added to them, it sometimes will overlap the Lightheaded comments. Here's an example screen so you can see what I'm referring to:

Then perhaps rather than wasting both of our times you could make a comment asking when the version will be updated. I'll even save you a step:

I'm having a few issues with the parser right now, and the NPC location database hasn't quite been right for a few versions now so I'm doing what I can to get them fixed before pushing out a new version.

With LightHeaded I absolutely avoid pushing out updates just for something like the version simply because at 20MiB a pop, that's a huge amount of bandwidth being consumed for absolutely nothing.

As soon as I can get the issues resolved, it will be updated.
