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.

No idea why this is happening. Do you have a ClassicQuestLog addon enabled? That code shouldn't be active on live, and I can't reproduce this error at the moment.

I'll be working on it but it will take a bit of time, I'm down and out with a cold this week and needed to prioritize the other addons that are a bit more crucial. Will get around to updating though, I promise.

When I went to the English client from Russian client, the problem with /lh autodetails stopped, but I get another problem - the auto-opened window does not select the quest I clicked on, and I'm forced to type the name of the quest.

No, sadly. You could write some code to do it, I think.

Keybinds for Page Comments

Is there a way to assign a keybind to navigate to next and previous page of comments?

That's not really something my API provides, it returns the comments and the NPC locations, but there's no "quest waypoint" data other than the comments provided by users.

Huh, no. This looks like it's happening on Classic, but you're using the live version? I might be mistaken, though?

Try installing manually if possible?

For some reason the option /lh autodetails does not work - the window shows even when this option is turned off.
