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.

I guess try that but with TomTom enabled, and LightHeaded enabled, I get the correct behavior, and all hyperlinks in Lightheaded work as expected. I would bet money you have another addon that's changing things, please try disabling all but Cart, Cart_Wp, and LightHeaded and see whats happening, then enable addons one by one.

Im in the process of making a minimalist full ace 2 addon pack and looking for most, if not all, mods to be in ace 2. This would also make it much easier for you to update and for others to use the winaceupdater to update this mod.

Just a suggestion, but would love this.

thanks!
I don't plan to do this right now, thanks.

Enjoying that laptop?
Color coded rep is already "Fixed".. i'm not goign to color code but i made it explicit that its positive rep gain. As for the hide error output, not sure how I want to handle it.

Would be nice to disable those messages if the module is flagged "DISABLED". I would still like to see the message about the module being loaded if it is not disabled, as currently implemented, whether the suggested option above is enabled/disabled.

What do you think?
That seems helpful for your case, but could be a pain for others that have similar issues. I'll think about the best way to handle this.. Can you post this request on googlecode:

Hi,

is it possible that LightHeaded doesn't work correctly with nQuestLog (anymore)?

I had to go back to r107 because any newer release showed only the comments for the first q that I selected via nQuestLog. Closing the q-log and clicking on a different q inside nQuestLog does _not_ show the comments for the actual q but for the first, that I selected in a wow session (without relogging). Can anybody confirm this?

Regards,
Highend

New parse from this afternoon, as well as a few minor bugfixes. Enjoy.
