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.

Thanks, I'll try to work with the author to figure out why.

The buttons should be hidden instead, and I believe I have this fixed locally. If not, I'll make sure I do :P

Again, I'll look into it, but I don't have outright plans.

Love the addon, thank you for the development.

The one thing I would like is for clicked co-ordinates to go into Cartographer_Notes instead of Waypoints. I always prefer to fill a new area with mapnotes before I begin questing, it enables me to better plan my quest path and just make things faster; as it is, waypoints personally don't do anything for me. I believe I found the code in LightHeaded.lua which adds waypoints, but I haven't the slightest clue how to add mapnotes instead.

Thanks.

J/W so I know when to check in for a new update.

EDIT: Oh I forgot, you previously said something about getting e-mails for updated "favorites."

Although, that hasn't happened for me yet. Most likely because I haven't had a favorite updated yet.
Every Tuesday, give or take.. I have to adjust for their last code change, but I should be able to get one out on Tues, if not before.

Any idea?

I have tried deleting all lightheaded* folder and files from the Interface and WTF directory and reinstalling, but without any success.

Thanks for this great mod.

Inevitably you have another addon that is conflicting or not supporting LightHeaded properly. Disable all addons except LightHeaded, verify that it works correctly, and then enable mods until you figure out whats conflicting, then let me know so I can help. Thanks.

You think its causing their issue.. Thanks!

then when i got to a new quest i hae to do the same thing whats the problem?
Inevitably, a conflict with another addon, something I cannot test. Disable all addons except LightHeaded, and see if it works properly. Then enable addons a few at a time until you find the conflict. I can't fix it, until I know whats causing it.
