LightHeaded

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.

Which was why I asked if, it could be done "relative easy" in an automated process, so we don't need to poke you

It would require the same amount of effort on my part. The last parse was less than two weeks ago, what is your concern? __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

Give me a specific quest ID please.

A few quests that was in new Scarlet Monestary and Scholo comes to mind:

Tack!

The MoP quests are now shown properly

However, LH window is still small, compared to Cata (and earlier) when it was the same height as quest log..

Aye. I've got quite a lot going on right now, I'm not sure I'm going to fix this in the near future. If someone wants to take a stab at it and let me know, I'm happy to test things out. I've got limited time atm, and other more critical bugs/problems that need fixed elsewhere.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4939 Uploads: 19	Updated. Wowhead has hidden categories for some absurd reason, and several other things have changed. Sadly it takes time to fix the parser/scanner when this happens. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

Nekoyou A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Hello I made an account here just so I could post. I know your kind of busy and what not but I had a question hopefully you could answer. Someone posted earlier that the mists of pandaria quests were not showing up and you asked which one specifically? Well from what I can see none of them are showing up, at all. the window is there and it shows me old quests pre-mists but not after. The quests are displayed in wowhead but not in the mod. I was wondering if you had a fix for this or if you would have to upload the database again when you come back? Also i would like to add that I did d/l the newest update. on a side note: Thank you for the mod it really is one of the best mods i prefer to use. i think I can soundly say we all appreciate your time, support and dedication to the mod.

I'd have to agree with that. I gave up on reading the post after line one :O

It will be updated once I am in my home country and I can run the update. I can't make the data available any faster than wowhead makes the quests and comments available.

Thank you. I reinstalled and noticed that when I went to log in, and checked the Add-Ons screen first, three of the LH options were disabled, included the Quest Naming one. All the others were enabled except the last three. I re-enabled them, and that fixed the problem. Thanks again.

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I've enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I'd ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
