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.

Really, I thought CT and Cartographer were the tip top map mods. Oh well, I guess i won;t get to use that functionality. /cry

Well, that functionality is in TomTom, not LightHeaded so this would be the wrong addon to post on. LightHeaded merely provides the comments, TomTom places them on the minimap when clicked.

My screenshot doesn't use EQL, that's DoubleWide from WoWInterface.com. Supposedly there's an issue with EQL, but I haven't had a chance to look at it-- and it works with all other quest logs without crashing.

I'm a perfectraid evangelist as well My question is probably stupid. When wowhead feeds more than one page of info the lightheaded, I can't figure out how to scroll down. What am I doing wrong? Also, is there any kind of /lightheaded interface to set up preferences or is it pretty much wysiwyg? Thanks again. --Asc

Love the work.

The user comments on wowhead are extremely good, and no, this is all I have to parse right now. It will not automatically update, but its easy to be notified when there's a new version, simple click "Add to Favorites" and you'll be notified by email when there's a new bversion.

I was hoping this would add map notes to cartographer/metamap etc the way it does for TomTom but as the author said he didn't plan on implimenting that I've had a stab at doing it for cartographer.

I'm a complete beginner with lua so if this causes you problems or if its coded in a stupid way I appologise.

In the Lightheaded directory find a file called LightHeaded.lua

In that file find the following:

Code:

function LightHeaded.OnHyperlinkClick(self, link, text, button)	
	ItemRefTooltip:ClearLines()
	ItemRefTooltip:SetOwner(UIParent,"ANCHOR_PRESERVE")

	-- Check for coordinate href's
	local x,y,name,level = link:match("^coord:(%d+%.?%d*):(%d+%.?%d*):(.+):(%d+)")
	if x and y then
		-- Set a waypoint
		if TomTom then
			x,y = tonumber(x),tonumber(y)
			if x and y then
				TomTom:AddWaypoint(x, y, string.format("%s [%d]", name, level))
			end
		end
		return
	end

	local title,level,idx = link:match("^comment:(.+):(%d+):(%d+)$")
	idx = tonumber(idx)

	local key = string.format("%s:%s", title, level)
	local v = quests[key][idx]
	v = huffman.decode(v, rev)

	local qid,cid,rating,indent,parent,date,poster,comment = 
		v:match("^(%d+):(%d+):(%-?%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+/%d+/%d+ %d+:%d+:%d+):([^:]+):(.+)$")

	ItemRefTooltip:AddLine(title .. "[" .. level .. "]", 1, .82, 0)
	ItemRefTooltip:AddLine("Posted by " .. poster, .9, .9, .9) 
	for line in comment:gmatch("%s*([^\n]*)%s*") do
		ItemRefTooltip:AddLine(" ",1,1,1,true)
		ItemRefTooltip:AddLine(line,1,1,1, true)
	end

	ItemRefTooltip:AddLine("\nComment courtesy http://www.wowhead.com",0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
	ItemRefTooltip:Show()
end

and replace it with

Code:

function LightHeaded.OnHyperlinkClick(self, link, text, button)	
	ItemRefTooltip:ClearLines()
	ItemRefTooltip:SetOwner(UIParent,"ANCHOR_PRESERVE")

	-- Check for coordinate href's
	local x,y,name,level, zone = link:match("^coord:(%d+%.?%d*):(%d+%.?%d*):(.+):(%d+)")
	if x and y then
		-- Set a waypoint
		if TomTom then
			x,y = tonumber(x),tonumber(y)
			if x and y then
				TomTom:AddWaypoint(x, y, string.format("%s [%d]", name, level))
			end
		end
		if Cartographer_Notes then
			x,y = tonumber(x),tonumber(y)
			if x and y then
			zone =  Cartographer:GetCurrentEnglishZoneName()
			Cartographer_Notes:SetNote(zone, x/100, y/100, name, "LightHeaded")
			end
		end		
		return
	end

	local title,level,idx = link:match("^comment:(.+):(%d+):(%d+)$")
	idx = tonumber(idx)

	local key = string.format("%s:%s", title, level)
	local v = quests[key][idx]
	v = huffman.decode(v, rev)

	local qid,cid,rating,indent,parent,date,poster,comment = 
		v:match("^(%d+):(%d+):(%-?%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+/%d+/%d+ %d+:%d+:%d+):([^:]+):(.+)$")

	ItemRefTooltip:AddLine(title .. "[" .. level .. "]", 1, .82, 0)
	ItemRefTooltip:AddLine("Posted by " .. poster, .9, .9, .9) 
	for line in comment:gmatch("%s*([^\n]*)%s*") do
		ItemRefTooltip:AddLine(" ",1,1,1,true)
		ItemRefTooltip:AddLine(line,1,1,1, true)
	end

	ItemRefTooltip:AddLine("\nComment courtesy http://www.wowhead.com",0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
	ItemRefTooltip:Show()
end

@Cladhaire I hope you don't mind me posting this little hack... Top addon by the way. I gave you 5 stars

***edit ***

Forgot to mention, this is a bit naff as it puts the note into your current zone. I figured this would be fine for most situations but it wont work if for example and NPC is Ashenvale gives you a quest that takes place in the barrens. If someone can come up with a way to grab that info reliably from wowhead comments then I'll have a go at it but I can't think of a way of doing it without getting everyone to write their coords like: Barrens, 15, 77

That's what I meant.

Schultz A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I like Bulluk's addition for Supporting Cartographer. But i am not sure about him i would perfer to use the Waypoint system in Cartographer over just the standard notes. Which would just be Code: if Cartographer_Waypoints then x,y = tonumber(x),tonumber(y) if x and y then Cartographer_Waypoints:SetPointAsWaypoint(x/100, y/100) end end instead of just the Notes part of Cartographer. This auto queues waypoints and gives you arrorws showing where they are located.

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.
