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.

Unhappy Assault on Fenris Isle

Assault on Fenris Isle has no data. I click on the quest and LightHeaded shows a blank page. Oddly enough I swear it showed information for this quest before...

Hehe, I think we got our communications crossed here somewhere, or perhaps I did not phrase my original post properly.

Rephrase:

Hi Cladhaire! Hey I really think that your mod is exactly what I am looking for! The thing is though is that I just now downloaded another mod called "Doublewide". It too expands the quest log pane (which is suhweeet!).

My question is this: Does your mod incorperate the same frame design (sorry I'm no mod dev) ? Or, do you simply have Doublewide running in your game interface also? Where I really like the layout and purposes of Doublewide, I think it would be non-beneficial to my interface memery to be running duplicate mods, or portions thereof.

Do I need to keep running Doublewide in order to gain the full benefit of Lightheaded? I assume by your previous comment that you have it downloaded also, but like I said, I'm just a player that likes add-ons.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter,

Respectfully,

spr808

thx

Well, its not dependent on it.. but I wouldn't saying downloading it is "For nothing". It provides you with a larger quest log that's a bit easier to navigate.

Maybe create a temporary default description that says something along the lines of "There is no further quest information at this time."

I use Quest Guru, TomTom, Cartographer (core), MobMap, & Lightheaded. This is my Core UI "Cant live without". The rest are not quest related.

It was just weird how the log was there for the whole chain, but not the last one.


I appreciate you taking the time to look into it. Thankyou

I parse weekly, and the quests have to appear and be commented on on wowhead. I'll re-parse tomorrow.

Did you try r174, which went up over the weekend?

(I haven't, but I saw an earlier post saying that they weren't in the DB yet, but would be in the "next" version.)

The two quests are:
The Sacred Flame &
Steelsnap

It's a great addon nonetheless.
Looking into it, looks like they got missed in the last parse. Thanks for the report.
