LightHeaded

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.

You should be able to click another quest, and then go back to the quest you are on. You'll have to be more specific if this isn't working (with the default quest log)

Ok, great!

It doesn't seem to affect the functionality. Hopefully QH will learn to behave better. It's a great mod. (And LH/TT are indispensable.)

Thank you very much for your time.

You may also look at any addons you installed in the meantime, particularly anything that changes the minimap around. THis can cause issues with detecting the direction the player is currently facing.

You can also try TomTOm to see if it works, but if Cart isn't working I suspect TOmTOm may not either.. and that the problem lies somewhere higher, just reflected at this level.

I suspect, however, that you're trying to set waypoints in a map zone that doesn't really 'exist'. Can you let me know?

There are multiple addons with the name Cartographer (namely, Cart1, Cart2, and Cart3). I need to know specifically which version of which addon you are using (and you must supply me with a direct link of where I can find it).

That being said, if you dont have the waypoints module enabled or something is wrong with that, that could be causing your issue. You can see if LightHeaded sends the coordinates to Cartographer by running the command /lh debug and looking at the output.

Please report back with more information.

This is the specific Cartographer I am using:

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...tographer.aspx

Lightheaded is definitely sending the coordinates to Cartographer, the debug output verifies.

It is flashing a square of white pixels where the arrow should be and disappearing after only a second, making taking a screenshot rather difficult.

And yes I made sure the waypoints module is enabled.

I am currently using the latest version of Cartographer.

Love this mod, been using it for ages ! I encounted a problem today however when my tracking arrow disappeared. I thought maybe it was off screen but I'm at max resolution so I don't know where it could be. =/

I've reinstalled etc, not sure what the problem could be.

Thanks for any help!

Well, that's a different issue that I wish you had mentioned before. The starting Death Knight areas are not "MAPS" in the sense of the world map.. therefore TomTom cannot place waypoints there currently.

Ah my mistake, I didn't add them for TomTom, just for Cartographer. It would help if you would tell me what versions of the addons you are running (both TomTom and LightHeaded), as there was a previously problem that has been fixed.. You should ensure you are using the latest version of Lightheaded in particular.

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I've enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I'd ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
