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.

The creators of Armory also have a site where you can download the addon and probably contact them if need be.

Read the posts below. I think the benevolent author is working on it. For now, try disabling Armory while you quest. That worked for me.

For Fubar_QuestFu support, the area that needs changing is in:

FuBar_QuestFu\Comments\Comments.lua

in function:

QuestsFu_Comments:UpdateQuestDetail(object)

I'll look into updating it for the newest lightheaded, but I'm not sure when... so if someone else wants to beat me to it, feel free.

For now, you can just turn off QuestFu's quest comment module and have it go to the normal bliz one to avoid getting errors (Fatality!).

As the picture show:
1 window with quest list
1 window with quest text
1 window with quest info/coments (Lightheaded)

FOr me the quest list and quest text goes in the same window.
What you have is the normal quest window. There are mods that modify the quest window look and feel. I maybe misspeaking here, but that has nothing to do with LightHead.

I too am also having the problem with LightHeaded's descriptions always jumping back to the first page as well as the delay occurring several times a second when the quest log was opened with LH displayed.

By sheer luck, I stumbled across the conflicting add-on: Armory. Disabling it fixed the issues I was seeing.
I'm also experiencing this problem. I don't have Armory. I do use ItemRack though.

I was just thinking of posting to say the same thing. Thanks for developing one of the most useful addon's I use for WoW. I really want to thank you for actively responding (and offering solutions) to individual bugs and supporting your project as well as you do.

Re: Updating - Where are the other folders (Lightheaded_*)?

Originally posted by acedanger

No. The folders will be named LightHeaded_Data_A, B, C, D but the addon has not been split into load on demand components yet.
