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 turned off all my mods but lightheaded and the changes are still present. It is not that I don;t believe you but the evidence doesnt lie. it is different and doesnt work with cartographer waypoints now.

Also, the /lh command does not work for me. odd.

LightHeaded did NOT change this. The update only changed comment parsings. If you don't believe me, disable all addons except LightHeaded and see for yourself.

Just though that may help [/b]
You need to verify that you have all the data addons installed. Go into the addon selection screen off the character selections screen and verify they are all there, and enabled and installed.

No, this should have nothing to do with TomTom or LightHeaded.. the addon uses no communication channels.

If you're not seeing what you used to, then you've changed some addon.. and its interacting and changing LightHeaded. I suggest you figure out which quest addon you have that's altering things.

Lightheaded Issues

Hello,
First of all I would like to say, AWESOME MOD...this mod kicks ass and saves TONS of time.

Secondly, Lately I have noticed that Lightheaded no longer shows ANY quest info in the window. Its just black with the wowheads logo in the bootm right.

I wondered if it was due to wow releasing a tiny patch and lightheaded no longer working etc...which i dunno if they even did patch or not.

So I came here and downloaded the newest version, which by the way is listed as r167. and the file is named r167, but when you install it, and open lightheaded it says r165 as the version.

Anyway, it still does not display any quest info for me...am I alone with this issue?

**EDIT**
I went in and turned on DEBUG mode, and for each quest I click on I get this erro message...

"Could not find quest information for <quest name>"

Just though that may help

Its Cartographer_Waypoints, has nothing to do with TomTom.

The only thing we need here is like a search function. So we can search, find a quest and see the comments on the found quest

Wowhead Client Download

I just wanted to let everyone know how wowhead gets its information. They get it from players like us running a little mod that tracks your data. So, if you use lightheaded, and therefore use wowhead, give back and run the client.

Sorry to be asking but this got me really excited and I can't try it out right now since my game time has run out :P
No it doesn't, if there's support for it, i'll probably add it.
