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.

1 request (not sure if it's been posted): is it possible to add a search feature to LH?

I know it might be a lot to ask, but if I know of a quest name or certain item name, would it be possible to implement that search into LH? Or, would it take too much time/changes/memory that it's not worth it?

Basically, I'm hoping that LH would be an in-game version of wowhead...
The best I could give you is quest title and level.. if you could provide those, it could display that quest. This addon is absolutely NOT meant to replace wowhead.

Yes, that was it. TY. These mods work fine with the Mirage UI compilation.

Just tested click coords from the Quest log - not an issue - the Cart Waypoint showed right up.

This is bizarre for sure, but if that's what it takes in new zones, I can deal.

Having trouble though. Installed all of Lightheaded, TomTom & Doublewide. However, no LH pane appears. Also have installed most of the Mirage UI. Is there a conflict there?

I would bet money you have another addon that's changing things, please try disabling all but Cart, Cart_Wp, and LightHeaded and see whats happening, then enable addons one by one.
