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.

Now here is my question, could you code a similar thing that links to wowheads boss encounter tips? So if you're facing a dungeon/world boss for the first time you can open the interface, look up the name of the boss and read up on what to expect.

Hehe "Bigheaded"
Not sure I'd want to head in that direction. Gotta go to websites on occasion =)

Doesn't bothers me too much, but just saying it for information.

And Cladhaire. /cheer /cheer /cheer. You really made a very good addon. I really love it.
Yeah, the only thing i "support" is the quest log version, the"new" one.. If you're getting the old one, you should talk to the QF author.

The only thing I can say about the new version is "wow!". I can't believe how polished and functional it is. I really appreciate your hard work, thank you.

I'm not really sure what you mean. "Whenever you click on a quest".. where are you clicking? I'm not sure how questfu is using LightHeaded you may want to get in contact with that author.

I'll be back when this addon hits its final version
This is the final version, and you've barely given me a chance to help troubleshoot the issue. There are a number of BASIC troubleshooting steps you can take, but they don't really work in comments on a bulletin board. Feel free to contact me via email to help resolve the issue.

Again, you are the first person I've ever had report that this addon does not work for them, which tells me something is not right on your end of things. I can't just magically divine what the problem is.

Thanks.

It does it based on the QUEST level, not your level.
