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.

When you view the info as a single page even when not viewd as a single page it doesnt seem to sort quest comments by date, I mean it kida does but the dates look all screwy, will try to explain more if needed but u should see what im talking baout when viewing the comments. Edit : Also, your mod seems to work PERFECT with this... I think it works great with this because I have a WS monitor so everything shows fine when expanded... but that aside the reason I even bring it up is that there seems to be a small "glitch" woth it when the "info" page that yor mod adds is collapsed it doesnt seem to fuly merge with the quest window... u can still see the red x.. when closed it basically hangs out a tad... if you install the above linked mod with your quest mod you should see what I mean... Anyway, I wonder if you could maybe implement a "patch" into your mod so it integrates fine and gets rid of the "hangover" Last edited by CloudsBreak : 10-22-07 at 08:49 PM.

Xylan Trueheart Premium Member Forum posts: 64 File comments: 166 Uploads: 0	Using Elkano's FrameResized There might be some of you using Elkano's FrameResized (EFR) over at the Ace web site. This is a nice add on which resizes some default UI frames like CraftUI, TradeSkillUI, TrainerUI, QuestLog and LootFrame to show more lines. However this mod doesn't like the Doublewide add on which makes Lightheaded usable when you open the QuestLog. There is a simple fix for this. Using a text editor go to your FrameResized.lua file inside your FrameResized file and look at line number 4 and you will see "local FR_QuestLog = true" . Change the true to false and save. This will allow you to use the Doublewide add on with your quest log but still have the benefits for your other windows. Last edited by Xylan Trueheart : 10-22-07 at 11:12 AM.

But i have a small problem with deDE loc, all quests with letters Ä, Ö, Ü, ä, ö, ü, ß do not work. I tried to change this letters to
-- \195\134 Ä
-- \195\150 Ö
-- \195\156 Ü
-- \195\159 ß
-- \195\164 ä
-- \195\182 ö
-- \195\188 ü
like
["Der große Knochenwurm"] = "The Big Bone Worm"
to
["Der gro\195\159e Knochenwurm"] = "The Big Bone Worm"
and it worked, but there are to many letters to change manually and i'm not a coder to help me help myself
it would be nice, if you could do something about this

Thanks, this was all I really needed. Search and replace in a text editor ftw!. I'll try to push a new update out.

I though that I might be cratographer, so I updated it. But that wasn't the problem. So I reverted back to the version of this addon that I was using before. Scratch t hat, it was unfortunately Cartographer. I removed and had to revert back to my old favorite, MetaMap Last edited by seancwatson : 10-21-07 at 01:08 PM.

It seems Cartographer, at least on my machine, would block the command from getting to TomTom - removing Cartographer-Waypoints allows the /way command to get to TomTom.

I too like the arrow but I prefer the method TomTom displays the waypoint on the minimap.

Again, next version of TomTom will do the same.

Any chance of making an updater program , similar to MobMap Updater , that parses the site for quests and comments and automatically updates them per computer?
Just idea, I think that it'd make things simpler.

Is there any way to fix this(tried reinstalling LH, Cart, Cart+Waypoints), but it still doesn't work.

Hopefully there is a fix/workaround to this as I absolutely loved being able to click the coords from LH and just follow the arrow to my objective.

Thanks for an awesome mod!

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.
