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 can download it fine, perhaps try another browser?

Curses

Thanks for the great addon, and thanks whatever you decide vis a vis my suggestion to follow:

Not that WowInterface isn't a great site ... but I've been using Curse for a long time, and use their auto-updating application. Would it be possible to add this addon to Curse so that I can auto-update via their application? (At the moment, I have to manually visit this site to check for updates.)

Then you'll need to be more specific. What are you clicking on? Do you have the TomTom arrow on screen (type /way 50 50 to test) Are you in the Death Knight starting area? What level/class?

The "arrow" is not provided by LightHeaded. Other addons provide that, such as TomTom and Cartographer.

I'm not one to force updates just for that reason, but I am in the process of running a parse and will be updating the data (and the .toc numbers) sometime today.

You need to provide more details. Are you using the latest version of LightHeaded? What about the latest version of Carbonite? If so, I suggest you contact them and let them know you are having an issue.

Re: Re: lag

Originally posted by Cladhaire
It's another addon conflicting, and there's absolutely nothing I can do to fix it.. since it's an issue with the way they are accessing the quest log API. You can verify this by disabling all other addons other than LightHeaded and verifying that it operates correct. It's been a long time since I've heard of someone having these issues, so I would seriously suggest you update LightHeaded. I implemented a number of measures to cut down on the problem when someone is doing their "bad stuff".
Carbonite makes my lighthead lag when I open it each time.

Re: WOW 3.1 & Lightheaded

This is one of my top fav add-ons. I didn't realize I could "force" it to load. Saw that option now and it appears to be there!
