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.

I'm.. sorry to hear that.

Your other simple option would be to not run DoubleWide.. I never have, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything by having a top pane of quest names and a bottom pane of quest description. (And I run 24" widescreen at 1900x1200, so screen real estate isn't an issue

There are a few others, but they're written specifically for LightHeaded. Please let me know if you release the addon and link back to LightHeaded. Thank you.

thanks for the information.

concerning the name, it's not related with tomtom, my first name is Thomas, so people call me Tom and all the addon I've made (most of them are not yet available) begin with tom

I do not have the time required to write a new parser for Achievements, so you won't see this coming from me. Sorry =/

Ah, I think I was like totally tired when I explained the problem or something. I actually meant that the action bar buttons overlap the LH frame..

It might have been posted before, but I was too lazy to go through all the comments. Forgive me!
Anyway, I'm using LightHeaded together with DoubleWide. The problem is, when clicking that nifty button that shoots LightHeaded out of the questlog, the LH frame will overlap the action bar buttons in the action bars on the right side of the screen. I know I can detach the LH frame, but I would rather not. Any other solution maybe?

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.
