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.

For me, I'm clicking on the quest name in the quest tracker on the right of my screen under the minimap. That's the only place I know to click and open LH.

I have the same problems with LH as has been posted by Hnybear.

As Hnybear said, clicking on the quest name in the quest tracker under the minimap is the only way I know to have LH open.

Hello again Cladhaire , i just randomly checked to see if anyone had taken over the addon by now, only to see that you are back so i downloaded the addon again and nice work like always , i missed it ALLOT lol xD i just have a question, i think you don't really do addon integration ( i'm not sure it's been awhile lol ) but i was thinking .... , i use the addon called Classic Quest Log [ http://www.wowinterface.com/download...cQuestLog.html ] ,because lets face it a good old log beats the new one and it would be very cool if they would work together like pre-WoD quest log ^^ i'm certainly not gonna push this but if you think about it that would be very nice keep up the good work ! __________________ For Azeroth !

Can you explain precisely how to trigger this behaviour? I can't fix it if I can't observe it so any help you provide would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem as well, I was able to isolate it and it happens when I have carbonite installed as well. It will get lower fps for about a minute the it will turn back to normal, but when you open your quest log it will have lower fps again. Thanks for the addon!

and it would be very cool if they would work together like pre-WoD quest log ^^

i'm certainly not gonna push this but if you think about it that would be very nice

keep up the good work !

Pops right up - not attached, but hey, I'll take it working as is. I have the 'goes to the first quest I opened today' problem, but it's intermittent and I can't figure out what triggers it. I'd still rather have it this way than not at all. Did you try the chat command /lh show ? -Barleduq

wolvyreen A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Thank you for you! Hi Cladhaire! when you announced that you would no longer be developing addons for wow, I was crushed. I you were truly my hero when it came to addons but I completely understood why you chose the path you did. So when I renewed my subscription for Legion and started scratching around to update my addons, I had this thought to see if someone had taken over the development of your addons. When I saw you were back I truly almost shouted out a huge "WAHHOOO!" hehe! So firstly, thank you so much for you! you are oe of the great addon legends. now, down to my question: I noticed the window frame doesn't scale nicely to the resolution compared to the other game windows. I apologise upfront if I should have seen any comments that might have been passed already about this but there are so many pages, I really don't feel like reading it all. So is this something I need to fix or determine if its an addon causing it or is this something you are aware of? Let me know soonest. Wolvy Last edited by wolvyreen : 09-25-16 at 09:18 AM.

Not yet, but I've got my WoW install here and may be able to look at it in the next few days.

Hi Cladhaire,

Nice to see you back.

Please please make it work with world quests! as they do not show in quest log you can simply make it compatible with "Word Quest Tab" which adds a tab on quest log for world quests!

I have used it for years, and finding that it has been updated again has made my week! I have noticed an issue since 7.1 this morning. When quest are clicked now, lightheaded does not automatically disply the info for that quest. It seems it does not find the quest so you have to type the name every time to find the info. I think it has something to do with it not picking up the version in the head of the window. I have added i pic here: [url="https://postimg.org/image/jmf24h7a5/"] Hope this helps any diagnosing in the future And thanks again for what I consider the most important addon in WOW!!!

Petrah A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2988 File comments: 334 Uploads: 10	Just installed the addon, so I have the version you uploaded today; With only Lightheaded loaded, latest version, typing /lh show then /lh attach does not work. It just spits out all the command line options to the chat window and does not attach the lh window to the side of the map quest window. Clicking on a quest does not do anything. I'm guessing it's supposed to open the quest info in the lh window? Do you have to type /lh show every time you want to view quest info in Lightheaded? Also tried using this with all of my addons enabled (mainly ElvUI with Shadow & Light, Skada, Dugi, Bugsack, and Classic Quest Log). __________________ ♪～ (￣。￣ ) I ♥ My Sonos!

No, you used to be able to click the quest in the obectives window (the one dugi shows i think), but that gives the error i described below now.

I said the same thing you did, just differently.

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.
