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.

Dugi Arrow

Any support for the dugi arrow in the classic version? I tried to use Dugi's Tomtom emulation but the coordinates won't load into the arrow that way. I was wondering if it could be built into LH instead.

Thanks again for all your hard work. I've been using this for years now.

No lightheaded window and no slash commands functioning.

Playing on Windows 10. I tried deleting the SV files, and I tried reinstalling from the zip, but nothing's working. If it makes a difference, WoW is not installed in my Program Files folder, it's installed in the Games folder in the root of my SSD.

Are the 11302 betas classic only? Is that my problem?
I have tried the latest of the two betas and neither loaded.

from front page -retail version should be 8000+ ( Version: v80200-1.0.0-2019-07-06 )
As long as the addon is the right folder relative to the game, then it doesn't really matter where the game folder is.
Mine are in G:\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns. (Version: v80200-1.0.0).

If it wasnt obviuous he was using Classic version for Retail and thinking it would work.

Now updated for Classic, check "Other Files" and download the most recent 11302 version!

Tyvm for the quick reply and workaround instructions. Your work is very much appreciated.

I also accidentally found another workaround - with Modern QuestWatch if I click the quest tracker it opens up the default quest log window - with Lightheaded right there!

The code to integrate with specific quest logs is not super nice or easy, that's why I only integrate with the default quest log. You should be able to /lh detach and then /lh show and /lh hide via a macro to show/hide the page when you want. It should in theory also follow the clicks in the other quest log.

And is there any chance of a Classic version being pushed out via Curse? The twitch auto-updater is mighty useful...
No, I'm sorry. LightHeaded is only available via wowinterface at the moment.
