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.

page reset

hi, in this last version of Lightheaded (v230) i found a bug that "resets" the page i'm looking at... for example, i have LH open on the questlog and i'm checking out a quest, i go to the first comment page of that quest (or any other comment page) and if i get a WorldDefence message on my chat it goes back to the quest info page (the one before all the comments )... i've tested a lot of times and it does that every time i get a WorldDefence message on chat.

Can you test this without any other addons. I suspect something is responding to that event and changing the quest selection. Either way, I'll try to look into it :P

I'm having an odd error. I press L to open the log and and lightheaded appears. I press L again and the regular log arrears. L no longer controls lightheaded at this point and can only access the regular quest menu.

Update: Now I can't even get lighthead to work at all. I deleted and added some add ons before it started but just can't figure out what I did. More details later.

As posted yesterday, a few comments down.. you need to update QuestGuru.

Then QuestFu needs to be updated for 2.4. I believe there is a forum thread on wowace discussing this.

Problem is, he is moving on to "BetterQuest" ( which reminds me of MonkeyQuest)...so I dunno how much he wants to work on Questfu.

The forums show the code that needs to change to stop the errors.

Weird, I know I did that a while back.Maybe some changes were made that overwrote the changes I made.

Edit: replaced the comments again and it works fine.

First off want to say that i Love your addons! I used both LH and Tomtom and not sure which forum i should post this under. I use the most recent versions of both and noticed that the waypoints no longer show the quest name on the tooltips. Instead the quest number is shown. What i used to do alot when leveling alts is i would click on multi quests in a zone and strategise how to go about completing them in the most efficent manner (ie which ones are bunched in an area). Never realized how much i depended on seeing the quest names on those tooltips until they were no longer available . Is there a way to get it back or a setting i can make to turn them back on?

You can't be using the latest version of the addons if this is the case. This was fixed quite a number of weeks ago, and was a bug in the original 2.4 version of LightHeaded. Please updated.

Quests are added with the note [LH] QuestName.
