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.

This looks really great and I would love to see this working on german client.

I would like to direct you to Mobmap ( http://www.mobmap.de ), this is a ingame database for quests and positions, and it is working for both german and english versions. There is a database download which includes also the names of the (already known) quest titles and some crytic data for them so maybe this includes the questID.

In addition there is a german website called www.buffed.de, it is a kind of online portal and maintained by some very professional people. They also have a huge database and you can search in both english and german for quest titles ( like in http://www.buffed.de/?f=Auf+der+Such...ra+Leerbringer ).

May be the can help with a database extract and the correct translation matrix, it looks like have the data already.

Last not least it could be possible to build a translation matrix with the help of your german userbase. I don't know much about the ACE librarys but AFAIK there is a "translation" lib called BABLE, would it be possible to add a lib to translate questtitles and let the userbase fill it?

Thanks for reading and many thanks for all your great work.

Doublewide, that's actually stated in the addon description.

Hrm, no idea why you'd be having that issue.

I have no idea what the first error is.. nothing to do with me as far as I can tell.

Are you using 130 (or whatever the latest one on here is? I just updated it to fix some bugs)
