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, after downloading the latest version of "Lightheaded" nothing appeared next to the questlog... Also at the charactor screen, it said , that the mod was outdated...( and yes i am sure i downloaded the latest version, did it 4x times now) .
Exactly the same problem for me with the french version of the game , tested with all addons OUT except Lightheaded.
The mod is well up to date and downloaded from here, i can't see any quest details , and have the same errors messages.

I m running windows vista.

Any help ??

I am using WoW Titan +titan coords.
If the mod said it was outdated, click the "Load out of date addons" checkbox.

What is an "efw" file, and where are you seeing it? LightHeaded consists of the following folders:

LightHeaded
LightHeaded_A20_Data
LightHeaded_A40_Data
LightHeaded_A60_Data
LightHeaded_A80_Data
LightHeaded_deDE_Data
LightHeaded_H20_Data
LightHeaded_H40_Data
LightHeaded_H60_Data
LightHeaded_H80_Data
LightHeaded_NPC_Data
LightHeaded_Quest_Data

Each of these folders should be in your Addons directory. At the character selection screen, if you click on the "Addons" button in the bottom left-hand corner you should see each of these addons enabled and listed.

Log into your game, and open your Quest Log.

You'll need to take that up with that author, unfortunately.

As listed in the addon description, I use:

DoubleWide: For the double-paned quest log
Levelator: For the levels

Sorry guys, I had an issue with deDE again, because of the way I was generating the data files. I've fixed the process now, and this should be the last deDE muck-up.

Cheers

it just has wowhead.com comments on the side of ur quest log. which 95% of the time have coords which have the ability to send to TomTom, MapNotes, or Cartographer_Waypoints.

Makes questing easier and you never have to alt tab.

Honestly, it's tough to tell you based on so many different variables.. I'd suggest downloading the addon and trying it out.
