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.

I'm using QuestsFu, and run the ace updater daily. The only other quest addons i have are DoubleWide, QuestHelper and TourGuide (which is disabled ATM). QuestHelper and DoubleWide are up to date.

EDIT: I forgot about Everyquest, which keeps a history of all quests completed. It also has a db of all outland quests. However, when you click on a quest in it's list it puts the quest log up, not Lighthead. But that is when the error is getting thrown. Hmmm. I go comb the wowace forums.

Quest Text Help

Your screenshots show the quest text next to the quest list.
Mine is still default one above each other.

How do I move the text to the right as per your screenshot's please?

Per the addon description, 2 tabs to the left:
The addon I use to make my quest log wide, is called DoubleWide, and you can download it here at http://www.wowinterface.com/download...oubleWide.html. LightHeaded should work with any quest log that uses QuestLogFrame.

i've been using lightheaded and tomtom and found the couple delightfully helpful. but as of late, it's not working as it should. what i mean by this is that i need to click dozens of times on a set of coords to put a dot on the map and activate the waypoint arrow.

when i first installed the addon a simple, single click on any set of coords would be enough to place the dot on the map.


what i'm asking is how and what i need to do for this to work as it should.

There's nothing I'm aware of that should be causing this.. one click of a hyperlink should add it just fine. If the clicks aren't registering.. we may be looking at some odd bug. Does it work if you disable other addons?

odd it is.

i tried disabling all my addons and leaving only LH active, the turning them back on one by one, to see if there possibly is an incompatibility issue.

it was doing the same so i deleted all my addons, and reinstalled them all but atlas and atlas loot. now it's working fine. but i think i remember it acting strange when it was set to show the comments on single page.

i'll look into it some more and report back.

I'm having a problem ever since that small patch a few days ago. It appears that I can't click on any of the links in the Lightheaded window, Quest mob names, cords, etc. I'm not getting any errors and I tried debugging and it came back with nothing.


Any ideas?

No, no idea what could be causing this. There's nothing that should have changed in that patch to cause issues like this.. and it continues to work for me.

I just got the same error as thegriffgeeks. I'm also using QuestsFu and I update from Wowace daily. What changed with 2.4 that has broken QuestsFu?

EveryQuest is the culprit, so if that is enabled it's what's throwing the error.

Don't have it installed... Hmm... I do have CT_Core installed and that has some features to do with quests but I don't have those options enabled. I can try disabling CT_Core entirely and see if that fixes it.

The API changed to use numeric quest ids rather than the composite name/level that we were using previously. I have no idea whether QuestFu has been updated on the SVN or not.. so you updating every day won't do a thing unless someone's actually changed the code. There is a thread on the wowace forums that discusses the simple code change that is required.

Not working with Fubar_Questfu

Your b4 2.4 version worked with this Fubar_QuestFu but this one doesn't. Bugsack gets this error every time I view a quest through Fubar_QuestFu.
