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.

Hi, I'm trying to make a macro which will detach lightheaded on right click and attach it on left click, can anybody help me figure out how to do this.

Thanks,
Angel

To follow up on the quest log fading issue I mentioned earlier, I've basically confirmed that LightHeaded has nothing to do with it. It appears to be due to using quest management addons like Blitz, Quest-o-matic, or Carbonite. There's an active discussion at http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=41999 to address it, but no one knows what's causing it yet.

I'm guessing there's a component to each of those addons that creates the issue.

You don't even need to change the toc.

quest text

i too have the text fading, seems like the text will show whole a little more if I disable LH, but I know that's not what is causing it. Has anyone else tracked down what is causing it?

edit: anyone have dailyquesthelper?

Yeah, my mistake. My final testing pass proved that LightHeaded didn't do it, I finally got it to happen without anything in LH running at all. Thanks for the answer though! And I still love this addon.

Great addon, love it.

Is there a chance that LightHeaded used to have an option for instant quest text, back when we needed such? I've noticed a problem that I can't quite confirm, but it seems that sometimes when I login with LightHeaded enabled, the quest text in my log only fills in the first couple of words and then fades out, like it was going to slowly reveal the rest of the text, only it's frozen that way.

I haven't been able to confirm that LightHeaded causes this issue, but so far it's the only thing I can find that might do it. Any chance?

My issue with Lightheaded is not truely with lightheaded at all, it has more to do with Wowhead and the comments posted there that Lightheaded draws from, most do not have pertinant info on the actual quest.

A new quest parse is being "done", but I'm busy interviewing prospective students early this week and won't be able to finalize it for a bit.

lightheaded update

This is one of my favorite addons. I want to apologize if this has been asked, its difficult to read through 3k posts, but when can we expect an update to support 4.3?

It's a bug. Another way to fix it is to hover over another tooltip, which usually unsticks it. That's easier than doing a reload.

Thumbs up Great Add-on!

I have to jump in here too, and tell you that I would be lost without my Lightheaded add-on! It's invaluable when questing and/or helping a fellow player with a quest.
