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.

I have no idea, you will have to ask the author of nquestlog. You can verify that LightHeaded is installed properly by disabling all addons except LightHeaded and checking with the default quest log.

When I login, i look to see what quests i have to do. I click on cords in LH to set them with tomtom and carto. Only problem is, when I click on the cords, it doesn't get placed. I order for click on cords to get placed, I need to reload my UI. After that, everything works fine.

You'll need to enable Lua errors to see if you're getting an error message. Other than that, you'll need to do some troubleshooting to find out if there is an addon conflict. Let me know what you find out.

As this is drawn into the coordinates, it is causing TomTom to malfunction, when clicking on the coordinates it in LightHeaded... and this appears to be found often in the LightHeaded clues! Is there an easy way to fix this? Check for trailing "." on coordinates? This would be great! Thank you for this marvellous addon anyway!! Can't quest without it anymore!! HP

Also, if any comment contains a link that needs to be cached, when I Alt-click it to cache it, the comments are displayed on one page instead of one page per comment.

The thing is, sometimes you want the periods. A more accurate coordinate would have been 25.0, 42.0 (or even 25.0, 42.1.). It could get difficult to construct a mechanism to treat both correctly.. not impossible, I'm sure.

Random question just occured to me - when the coordinate is listed as 25,42, does TomTom place the waypoint at 25.0, 42.0, or at 25.5, 42.5? I'm guessing it's the former.. but the latter is in all probability closer to the actual destination.

No, there's not an easy fix for it. Yes I will try to fix it.

All coordinates are treated in U.S. coordinate format. That means periods are the decimal separator, and commas are the x, y separator. 25,42 becomes 25.0 42.0.

The LightHeaded frame only updates when it is visible, this is a feature considering any addon can at any point select a new quest for you.

The second is a bug, and if you report it formally I'll get it fixed.

You will find, if you spend enough time working with Computer Scientists, that the phrase "It was working great, until all of a suddenn..." is a completely false phrase. Something always changes, whether its you updating an addon, or accessing some functionality that you previously didn't. I can't magically troubleshoot for you.. and LightHeaded doesn't flip the page back on its own. Some addon of yours is periodically calling SelectQuestLogEntry(). You have to be the one to figure out which it is, and why this is happening.

Also, telling me you have an error, in the wrong addon, while DEMANDING that I fix it, isn't the best way to get things done. I am not psychic. I cannot fix errors that haven't been reported. Give me the text of the error message, or something, and report it in the correct addon.

I'm all for making sure things work, but if you want customer service you have to do your part.

One of your addons is conflicting and needs to be updated. The LightHeaded API changed in 2.4 and it needs to be changed accordingly.

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.
