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.

Thanks.
Sure. I'll PM you later today with what I did.

Sorry to bother you with it! I'll keep it for my own use.

LH will have some large changes coming, i'll have to figure out how best to integrate a search feature. It would be best if you could provide with details specs about what/how you want it to work.

That being said, I might be able to help you with the parsing, since I know your time is limited. Let me take a look at your code and see if I can come up with anything.
TomTom's getting a massive revamp at the moment, I'm going to try and address it today or tomorrow.

50.25 which is: x = 50.0 y = 25.0

I see this a lot in the comments. It may be that people are just mistyping a period instead of a comma, but it results in no link.

I know that the red pen would appear on my math papers if I was inspired by my old C64 and used a period as decimal point.

Perhaps someone can come up with a perl regexp to convert any possible coord format into X and Y to feed to DougDoug, er, I mean TomTom, and post it here or to Cladhaire. For instance whether the numbers are with comma or period as decimal point, and whether space or comma is used to separate the numbers.
Its much worse than that, and Perl regexp would do nothing, since we dont have access to true regexp. People post coordinates like these:

50,25 - Means x = 50.0 y = 25.0
50.0, 25.0 - Means x= 50.0 y = 25.0
55,25 65,43 - Two sets of coordinates

Etc.. the list goes on and on. There's no way I can intelligently cover both of them without extreme amounts of works. I'm _trying_ but its difficult.

No horribly easy way to tell the difference between the many different formats, but I'm working hard on getting a better solution pushed out. Thanks.

Thats the best reason you can possibly have :P I normally update on Tuesdays, but I'm trying to work some other features in. Perhaps I'll get around to branching properly and having things set up so I can do both =).
