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.

The next update, is... sexy.

-- currently, when i run with BEQL enabled, LightHeaded just doesn't show up (and i'm sure it's because it doesn't know about the frame structure of BEQL).
The author is working to add this.

Since I'd dropped EQL for Lightheaded, I've been bouncing around to different quest tracking mods and hadn't found one I liked. Then, I stumbled across this ace'd rewrite of EQL on Worldofwar.ui thingy site.

http://uifiles.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=4536

It does everything I want it to do...except work w/ Lightheaded. There are no conflicts/error msgs or anything of that sort. Lightheaded just doesn't load up at all when I have BEQL installed.

Is there anything you or the author of BEQL could do to make these 2 mods play nice together? Is there anything I could change in the code as a temporary fix until a more long term solution was figured out?

Sorry to throw another issue on your plate. I just got so happy to find a Quest tracker I like again and it kills me that I wouldn't be able to use it. I'm not giving up on Lightheaded. Your mod is just too convenient!
