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You need to click "Load out of Date Addons". There is nothing wrong with LightHeaded at the moment, that is a message that is shown for ANY addon that hasn't updated the .toc file. The .toc file will be updated in my next release.

Nothing needs to be changed to use this addon after the patch. Load out of date addons, and use it.

You mean so you are able to update the quest data independently and work on new features in parallel? Cause that would rock. Cause I spend more time lately alt-tabbed on wowhead viewing the updated comments than clicking in my in-game LH quest log.

Cladhaire: Thanks for ur response.

Ye thats what i did. But he couldnt solve it.

I have been looking into this. For some reason the data-folder got deleted. The famous human error i assume.

Since 1 week or so (perhaps bit longer) my Lightheaded gives an error as soon as i double click a quest in order to read it. I use nquestlog as quest minion. Hereby the error dump.

I checked the files and all is there.

Is there still something else I could have done wrong?

You are likely having a conflict with another mod. I suggest disabling all addons except LH, and then see if it works properly. If it doesn't, report back, otherwise enable addons one by one until you find the conflict.

You shouldn't need to delete.. it was more of a one-time warning. I update the notes from wowhead and upload them, so you dont have to do anything-- just download when there's an update.

not sure whats causing it but any help would be great

Sounds like an interaction between LightHeaded and some other addon.. can you do some enabling/disabling to see what the problem is, so I can fix it?

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.
