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.

New version is being uploaded, please let me know if you find instances (sooner, not later) where a quests is showing more comments on Wowhead than it's showing in LightHeaded.

It still missing a lot of comments. In each zone, the starting quest have good comments, good size pages, but when I progress through the questline, the comments start to downsize. And start to show no comments at all while Wowhead showing like 20 comments on the website. Maybe players finally start to fill out the quest after the 13th, I assumed.

It's not really an issue with his patch.. just a bug that existed before and is now a bit more visible. I'll work on getting it fixed.

Thank you for implementing Smariots patch, but I seam to have found a problem with it.

When you click on a quest and open it in either the blizzard tracker or questhelper 2's, it doesn't open the correct wowhead info for that quest, it opens the last viewed quest information.


i.e If you open the questlog with L and then click on another random quest, the next time you open the questlog from the tracker it will open the correct quest but with the data from the last quest you viewed on the log.


What I'm saying probably doesn't make sense but it it definitely a bug.

Thanks Cladhaire.
Works like a charm again.

[Edit] And Rammoth thank you too, for following the 'orders', so the problem could be solved

I still wonder if you can add an option or change the way LightHeaded works, so that we can hide the LightHeaded frame without closing the questlog as it takes up much space on the screen and I don't always need it.

Thanks and regards,

Yes it fixed it, here is a screenshot to show you that it's fixed:



Gosh... I need to get a bigger monitor, nothing really fits right on my screen.

Download it, rename it to LightHeaded.lua and reload your user interface. See if it fares any better.
This fixes the Carbonite issue,thank you Cladhaire

You rename and replace the file in the LightHeaded folder Rammoth.
