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.

Hi,

Thank you much for the response!

EDIT: I just wanted to point you to a Wowhead WOTLK (wow 3.0) quest to provide as an example. Also note the site's url is a bit different than the live server (wow 2.4) url. Looks like you simply replace www in the url with wotlk. Not saying it's that easy for your mod to adapt, of course not, just as a reference for you.


Prison Break (Quest)

I really really miss your addon for coord references etc in the beta.

Yeah, poor me right lol.

Anyway, ty all the same if it's too much trouble :P
That depends on whether those quests are available on the live wowhead site, and if the page format hasnb't changed much. I'll look into it.

You would need to change the code.

They are both there. There is an issue with your web browser, or the connection between your client and the server. I assure you the files are not corrupt.

Re: cant click on coordinate anymore

Originally posted by autobot
I used lightheaded for some time now with tomtom and i love it but these past days i cant seem to click on the coordinate anymore or anything in blue. I tried del LH and then loading wow then reinstall LH and that would work but only until i would until i logged off wow and once i logged back on, it again wouldnt let me click on the coordinates, BUT it would work fine on another toon i have so i find this a bit strange. I dont have many addon just LH, tomtom, and UI. Ill try and disable the UI and see if that helps but the servers are down now.
I also tried to read the older post see if anyone had this prob too but to many post to go threw them all. Any suggestions?
There are no known issues with this, other than the random spotty issues that the Blizzard widgets have where they're particular about where they are clicked. You should always disable all other addons to rule out any conflicts.

Not that I'm aware of.

FYI Love the mod(s).

It isn't a problem with the quest, or LightHeaded.. YOu have another addon that is incorrectly scanning the quest log on an interval. You can see this by disabling all addons except LightHeaded, and seeing that it works as expected.

LightHeaded won't be getting posted on curse. TomTom, perhaps in the future, but I'm in no rush to post them anywhere other than here.
