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.

I regret that my statement was misleading. Permit me to clarify, and we can begin again.
I have used and updated LightHeaded for years. I stopped for a couple of months after Blizzard upgraded quest tracking recently. I found I missed LH though, and reinstalled it. I indeed did read the "read me" file. I am comfortable with the installation of addons. I unzipped LH into my addons directory as usual, and the eight folders remained there. My misleading statement about LH being "no longer listed among the Interface>Addons" was referring to the fact that I could see the LH options using the ingame Menu>Options>Interface>Addons tab, when LH was loaded with all of my addons except TourGuide. However, if I also enable TourGuide, LH does not appear to run, its config menu is no longer available in game (to clarify again, the folders do remain in the computer's addons directory) and no LH frame opens with the quest log.

It makes no sense to me either. I have successfully used LH with TomTom and TourGuide in the past. I did delete and reinstall LH, in case the download was corrupt, but the problem persists.
I am hoping that you can suggest a way to troubleshoot the problem, or at least log the errors, or provide a solution. Might it help for me to delete a saved variables file?

Well no idea why it's affecting AddonLoader and LightHeaded. I suggest you bring it up with that author.

Nothing relating to AddonLoader has changed in LightHeaded, and I'm happily using them side-by-side. There is no conflict that I am aware of.

Then it isn't enabled or installed correctly. Do you see it in your addon selection screen? You need to provide more information and troubleshooting, please. The addon continues to function as always.

I tend to refer to those comments as much as quest ones, problem is I have to ALT+TAB out for Achievement lookups (unless I am completely missing something that may already exist).

Thanks for your consideration.

Possibly, but it would be a huge undertaking, and would be a different addon.

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.
