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 believe I fixed it with TBC data entirely.


Really hoping this link isn't against TOS

Hey mate I get it, but it's a lot of work. I've got a day job, a family, and try to spend my time in the best way for me.

Thanks all for your concern, all's okay with me just busy in lift and coping with the pandemic as everyone else.

Keeping three versions of the addon updated for different phases of WoW history is not the easiest of things to do. Again, when I can find time and headspace I'll try to incorporate some of these changes.

Such an useful addon, going to waste...

It works for normal quests except the dungeon quests, but for these you can research the quest in the title bar and they will show.

Hope it helps

Thanks for this. I have followed your instructions to the letter, and it kind-of works, however to get it to load I have to:

Go into the Interface/addons menu
Select Lightheaded, which will be blank
Click away from Lightheaded to the addon below
Reselect Lightheaded
Click the 'attach' button.


This occasionally works. If it does not I must reload UI and do the whole process again.

This must be done every single time I load up the game.


I hope the author can update Lightheaded soon. Playing is just not the same without it.
Here is my one button macro when I start or reload the game:

/lh attach
/lh show
Huge thanks for your fix, I threw together a quick addon to just run LightHeaded:AttachFrame() on login / reload, so no more macro needed. Looking forward to an official update! Maybe even with newer TBCC comments?

I don't know what you mean, the dungeon quest ones work just fine for me.
Thanks for the directions.

== UPDATE:

Ok, I see what you mean. Sometimes it doesn't open so I made a macro and assigned a keystroke to it.

Doesn't seem to be working for me. Could you upload the files?
