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.

There's classic version. It's parsed from the classic version of wowhead, not the retail version. If and when the comments update, we'll make sure to update LightHeaded.

The quest info updates when you change quest.

I've made a couple tweaks for me, but it won't work without questlog extended addon.

I just attach and position it based on extended questlog window, not default questlog window. It's a hack, but good enough for me.

So basically writing a "plugin" for EQL would just be: parenting LightHeaded to that window (which you can identify with /dump GetMouseFocus():GetName(). Then it'd be shown/hidden along with that (in theory) and then you could show it once. When that's done, does it actually change quest when you update which quest you're selecting? I suspect it might? __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

It also should work just fine if you open LightHeaded yourself with /lh show.

Unfortunately I don't know a single thing about addon coding and /lh show is not working with any of my quest log extender addons.

If you can point out what addon you are using for extended quest log, I would be forever grateful.

I don't use an addon for Extended Quest Log, just the default, actually

So when you run /lh show the addon window shows up but it's not synced to the quest log is what you mean?

There's a few too many quest logs to integrate with all of them, which is why I've intentionally kept it simple. Feel free to have the author of the addon you're using reach out, it's very very easy to integrate with LightHeaded if they would like to.

i love lightheaded and miss it!

This was another part of my issue ... try using Minion to uninstall, selecting "delete all variables" while doing so. That's what worked for me.

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.
