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.

It is, it just was taking second priority to real-life. I may be able to do something better with it in the upcoming weeks.

ofc ofc ^^ , i do understand this is just an addon and not a life's work ^^ , anyway keep up the good work

TYVM,
Reposting because the Lightheaded Dev should see your code, and implement at least a variation.
it really works TYVM !!!!

I sometimes have to use the search facility in LH to find the Q as it doesn't always select the correct one....still not sure what logic it uses but it's all good

I also didn't like this, so i managed to fix it to open lh window when i click on the quest name in the quest tracker.
It opens default quest description window and lh window, and when you click on the quest name or quest desc again to close it, both close.

Just download "fixed" LightHeaded.lua file from dropbox here add it to "X:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\LightHeaded\" folder and replace old file.

I just added two functions from line 75 to 86, not the best fix, but it works.

I'm wondering if Mapster may be interfering? If I open world map or quest log, mapster comes up and I see no lightheaded data. edit: nevermind I finally figured it out. Apparently a combination of user error and/or not remember how some of the UI in WoW works. Last edited by Flyinion : 12-13-14 at 08:19 PM.

I don't really do integration with other addons, this is designed to work with the default user interface as much as possible.

What doesn't work? Is the /lh command there? Are the addons listed in the addon screen?

I have installed latest version from wowinterface I have confirmed autodetails is toggled on I can manually load the window using "/lh show" and it shows correct details I relocated to the details pane to makes sure it wasn't popping up behind the log It seems to work fine manually just not "automatically" as described below Any thoughts? Thank you very much for the time and effort put into creating and maintaining this addon, I will use it even manually if I have to.

They changed the quest log. The addon broke because they removed the quest log. There's no super easy/clear solution to that right now. You can show it manually, or you can click a quest in the objective tracker on the right-hand side of the screen. That should cause the window to be shown.

blackpups A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 25 File comments: 30 Uploads: 0	One issue I'm noticing with the latest version. I can click on the objective and bring up the LH window next to the classic style quest window, and all is fine. Once I complete that quest and move on, and click on another quest on the objective list, it will bring up the classic style quest window with the LH window, but the LH window will still be on the comments from the previous quest. I can't bring up the LH comments for the quest I'm trying to see unless I use the search window in LH to search for that quest. This then continues to happen for each additional quest I want to view until I log out and back in to WoW.

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.
