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.

LightHeaded _DOES_ do this.. as can be seen in the screenshots.

I think I found the issue. For some reason, there was a Cartographer_Waypoints folder inside the main Cartographer folder. The one in Addons was probably updated, but the other one shouldn't even have been there in the first place, and was probably outdated - maybe Cartographer was using that one instead.

Not sure how this happened, but presumably, some previous version of the Wowace updater messed it up, and left some old crap in the addon folders, even despite me having chosen to Reinstall all addons several times since then.

Anyway, i just deleted the folders and reinstalled them, and now it seems to be working.

My version of Cartographer is installed through the WowAce updater, which afaik should always produce the latest versions of any Ace2 addons hosted on wowace. The version there appears to be the same one I have at the moment. (r47090, updated today)
Seems unlikely that there is any newer versions than that, except possibly one that the developer is working on and hasn't commited yet.

It was like that when I first installed LightHeaded a few months ago, and is still the same with the most recent versions of both addons as of today. Is there anything special needed to make it work, or is it just broken?

EDIT: Just saw that someone else posted a question about Cartographer just before me I started writing this about 30min ago, but delayed posting as I got caught up in playing WoW... coincidence

If I click on a location in a user comment in Lightheaded, the waypoint is added right in cartographer_waypoints
But if I click on a location in the NPC data, it give me a very false position in Cartographer_waypoints. I've tried to enter manually the location i've clicked on in the npc data, the location is good and works with cartographer_waypoints.

To sum up : click on a location in user comment = GOOD, work
click on a location in NPC data = BAD, don't work
Can you post this as a bug report on googlecode, using the link above?

You install LightHeaded, and open your quest log.
If you're using the default quest log or something that is based off that frame, you'll get LightHeaded. If you don't get it, then disable all addons but LH, and then test it.

Then find out what addon is interfering.

I understand that the default Blizzard Quest Log completely SUCKS compared to addons that change it.

This addon is pretty much the best Quest Log modifier out there.

Although it is in Beta, it is Ace2 and has most of the features from UberQuest that you need... AND it supports LightHeaded.

It's at Incgamers. http://wowui.incgamers.com/ui.php?id=4536#comments

Above, is what my quest frame looks like. Sorry for the trouble.
Rather than use the default quest log (which is called QuestLogFrame) and altering it to look like they want it to, UberQuest makes it's own quest log frame. I can't be guessing what people name their frames, so unfortunately its extremely difficult for me to support them. The author of UberQuest should be able to change their code to make it work better with the default quest log.

and didn help
thanks in advance
Look at your quest log.. you have TWO addons that add the level to the start of the quest. LightHeaded can only handle one of them, and youre clearly duplicating things. Remove one of the addons adding quest levels, and it will work fine.
