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.

Sorry if this has been covered - I tried a couple of searches with no luck.

There are a number of quests that add a 3D portrait of the target or the quest-giver to the quest journal. I have Lightheaded docked, and the portrait covers it up. Is there any way to disable the portrait, or place Lightheaded on a higher level so it sits on top?

There's an option in the LightHeaded config (I think its an option) that tries to 'fix' this for you. In short, it's a rather difficult problem.. but I'd check that first.

Thanks!

Thank you for the new parse Especially appreciated, with how much work it must've taken due to Wowhead's changes to their comment system.

I've been finding several quests missing (mostly older quests). I suppose I could start tracking which they are, but there's been a good handful so far. I've checked on wowhead and there are comments for all of the ones I noticed so far.

Just drop me a quest ID or two. None should be missing, so that will help me track it down.

3 examples..
A Test of Valor: 32476
Battle Pet Tamers: Easter Kingdoms: 31903
Battle Pet Tamers: Kalimdor: 31981

All of them have comments from before 18/2-13, none displayed in-game.

Also, since v5.2 have been released, a new parse might be over due, anyway?
No 5.2 comments are present, even those that were enter on ptr.wowhead.com (maybe this is expected)

5.2 Update

I too have seen comments on wowhead about the 5.2 dailies and some of the other quests and was wondering about a parse update?

I'm in San Francisco without a WoW-capable computer. Won't be back in Stockholm until Tuesday at the earliest. I can run a parse, but won't be able to verify anything. I also need to do a lot of investigation into the quests that aren't appearing, since that is a different issue.

Any Progress?

Just started a parse. It'll be done in a few hours, hopefully.

Will this be with or without the missing quests?

I don't know.. that's the whole point. Its an automated script, we have to see what comes out of it. I may have to keep iterating until I know that all of the data I'm expecting to be there is there. That's hard, and I need your help to do it =)
