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've tried quests that are both in my quest journal, and quests that are not, the result being always the same. Would anybody happen to know what the matter is with my install? The version currently in my machine is V .288. Thanks in advance for any information concerning this.

I would ensure that the addon is installed correctly, including all sub-addons. It sounds like you're missing the data addon that maps quest names to quest ids, thus stopping the lookup from being successful. Do you have any of the sub-addons disabled on the addons screen, etc.?

As mentioned on the addon description, that addon is called 'DoubleWide' and is available here at WowInterface.

Would there be a way to add this as an external addon that modifies the QuestGuru questlog in case the author does not add something similar? So this way you would not have to modify the source each time it is updated.

This is indeed a better solution!

Find QuestGuru.xml

find these lines :

Code:

<Button name="QuestGuru_QuestFrameOptionsButton" inherits="UIPanelButtonTemplate" text="QG_OPTIONS"> <Size x="100" y="21"/> <Anchors> <Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="QuestGuru_QuestFrameExitButton" relativePoint="LEFT"> <Offset x="0" y="0"/> </Anchor> </Anchors> <Scripts> <OnClick> InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory("QuestGuru"); </OnClick> </Scripts> </Button>

and replace it with this:

Code:

<Button name="QuestGuru_QuestFrameOptionsButton" inherits="UIPanelButtonTemplate" text="WoWHead"> <Size x="100" y="21"/> <Anchors> <Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="QuestGuru_QuestFrameExitButton" relativePoint="LEFT"> <Offset x="0" y="0"/> </Anchor> </Anchors> <Scripts> <OnClick> if (LightHeadedFrame:IsVisible()) then HideUIPanel(LightHeadedFrame); else ShowUIPanel(LightHeadedFrame); end </OnClick> </Scripts> </Button>

then save and login, now you can toggle the lightheaded window with the options button in questguru

After:

Code:

			<Button name="QuestGuru_QuestFrameOptionsButton" inherits="UIPanelButtonTemplate" text="QG_OPTIONS">
				<Size x="100" y="21"/>
				<Anchors>
					<Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="QuestGuru_QuestFrameExitButton" relativePoint="LEFT">

					</Anchor>
				</Anchors>
				<Scripts>
					<OnClick>
						InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory("QuestGuru");
					</OnClick>
				</Scripts>
			</Button>

Add:

Code:

			<Button name="QuestGuru_QuestFrameLightheadedButton" inherits="UIPanelButtonTemplate" text="Lightheaded">
				<Size x="100" y="21"/>
				<Anchors>
					<Anchor point="RIGHT" relativeTo="QuestGuru_QuestFrameOptionsButton" relativePoint="LEFT">
						<Offset x="0" y="0"/>
					</Anchor>
				</Anchors>

						if (LightHeadedFrame:IsVisible()) then
							HideUIPanel(LightHeadedFrame);
						else
							ShowUIPanel(LightHeadedFrame);
						end

There is not currently a way to do this. I will add a way in an upcoming version.

Part of the money does make it to addon authors, I host two of my other addons there. However, I will not be posting LightHeaded to Curse.

I appreciate your feedback, but I will not be hosting this addon at WowMatrix.

Thank you, again. For considering and implementing a request, again.

I'll be leaving your thread now, so that you may attend to the impending wowmatrix discourse.

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.
