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 just wish the default paging was single page rather than multiple. It has always been the first thing I change on every character, every update. scrolling is much simpler than clicking. __________________ Everglow - Sisters of Elune/US

Sometimes the quest is misleading or confusing, and sometimes I was just lazy and didn't pay attention.. this is so much more convenient than alt+tabbing and dredging through google results. This really helps make my leveling easier and more enjoyable. Been using it for over a year now and darn near can't live without it!

Also, /lh page.

Doesn't work on any of the 17-20 quests in my questlog at the time. After using /reload, the arrows to flip between pages disappeared too, although it would still say things like "page 1 of 17" etc.

I'll try /lh page next time it happens.

In fact tonight it didn't work when logging in, didn't work after two reloads. Had to log out then in (not quit game) before it would finally work.

Search your addon folders for LightHeaded.lua. I'm fairly confident you'll find two.

I found it! I ran across a mod called "Booster" for leveling. I can only assume that the copy of Lightheaded is not up to date though.

I'm very sorry to bother you with this, thanks for helping me track it down.

Yeah I can imagine it + that would probably enter on shady ground, EULA wise.

I don't wanna turn you into slavery but I'm gonna look at your projects, if by any chance you release a new addon of this type for achievements I really think that would be awesome.

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.
