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.

Yes, and there's nothing _I_ can do to fix it.

You know, I started trying to think of an analogy to describe how ridiculous you're being, but reading over your posts again, I doubt you would understand.

So...thanks Cladhaire, I will report once this issue is fixed from the author of BEQL

FYI…while waiting for the fix on this, I completely removed both MODs, including the WTF saved variables. Reinstalled both and now it is working as intended. Possibly just a glitch in the saved variable positioning settings.

So LH is working really nicely now with BEQL.



Thanks

one-line-mod of Lightheaded.lua to support 10x,11y locations

Hi Cladhaire,

I love your addon, it makes playing Wow and doing quests a lot more fun.

I have a suggestion for a one-line fix, which I implemented for myself and enjoy having.

I saw that in the Barrens much of the quest advice was not highlighting for TomTom with blue clickable coordinates.

The comments sometimes had x,y coordinates as "go to 10x,11y and do this/that" instead of "go to 10,11 and do this/that"

In my personal copy of Lightheaded.lua, I found the comment:gsub line and read the clever pattern. I copied that line and modded it to work with the numberx,numbery pattern I just described. Thinking about it now, I realize I could have made the x or y optional after the number, but I'm sure you get the idea..

Anyway, after the fix, the Barrens quests all came out looking great and were way more playable!

Hope you can implement this in the standard addon since I dont want to fork a local copy!

Thanks for this great addon!

There's really so many different patterns its difficult to support them all. I'll see what I can do.

Hello,

Every time I come here to update my copy of LightHeaded, I see that big red warning in the description above, and wonder if it's actually still true - is it? Do we need to delete all the LightHeaded folders every time we update? It's no biggie, but, well, it's nice to be lazy and all that.

cheers,

- Fin

Technically you shouldn't need to anymore, I haven't _changed_ any folders in a while.. just added some.

Great Mod

Fantastic Mod. Tom Tom and Lightheaded have made my playing soooo much faster and easier. I got most of my guild to install them also and we love it. Thanks a bunch.
