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 use the WoWInterface updater and the Curse client to keep my ~60 addons up to date. And there's the email Clad mentioned below. There are other options besides WM's aggregation/exploitation of other sites and manually visiting each site.

Re: stop blocking wowmatrix

WowMatrix is disrespectful of author copyright, outright violating it in a number of instances. They have also been leeching the bandwidth of the addon sites which exist solely for the good of the addon community. I have absolutely no plans to make my addons available on WowMatrix. You can easily set up WowInterface to email you when I've released a new version of this addon. The email even contains a simple download link so you don't have to hunt to find anything.

No, none whatsoever. I have no issues with Curse and host a few of my addons there. However Curse remains a real competitor to WowInterface and a few other other related sites (such as WowHead). As the data for this addon comes from WowHead, I'm pretty sure you can connect the dots =). No one here has told me not to, and no on at Curse has told me not to, but I make this decision based on the best interests of my addon.

I have one request though. Is there a chance that you will upload this wonderfull add-on to Curse-gaming? I am very fond of their update client and would like Lightheaded to be included in that on.

Hope for the best. Regards, Oriban.

Re: Having three panes instead of two

I'm sorry to inform you, but LightHeaded did not change. What you are experiencing is another addon. I can assure you that LightHeaded does not force a three-panel quest log. There are a few addons that DO this, namely DoubleWide. If you don't want that, just don't use that addon (which does not in any way come with LightHeaded).

Before, when I opened my quest log, I'd see the normal quest log and then when I clicked on a specific quest, I'd see the lightheaded info pulled from wowhead. I liked that a great deal better as I find it very annoying to have a three panel screen in place - I can't see anything else and that can be dangerous when pausing to look something up.

I like having the lightheaded info attached - that's fine, I just don't understand why it was changed to force me to accept the listing of all my quests AND the quest info of the quest in particular - before it was just the quest in particular and the lightheaded info pertaining to it - I'm not sure what the utility of having a list of all the rest of my quests sitting would be?

Now I have first a full listing of all my quests and attached to that in one double panel, the quest info of the quest I'm looking up, then the lightheaded panel. Three - Quest log and the quest info as one double panel, and the third, the detachable lightheaded panel.

BEFORE I had ONE panel and the lightheaded info attached to it (or I could close it but I never did) -- I don't want to "detach" the lightheaded panel.. that's the ONE I WANT. I want to get rid of that quest log panel... does anyone know what it is that is doing this and how to help, please?

I have not downloaded doublewide.

I hope I've explained this correctly - I'd noticed that it was always displayed as three panels here on the website, but for some reason I had the two and I loved it that way - I can't get used to it this way, it truly bothers me and I want to have it back the way I enjoy using it, the way it's always displayed for me.

It is not LightHeaded. Disable all other addons to see this for yourself. LightHeaded does not provide a three panel quest log. The screenshots just happen to be that way because I find it unbearable without the three panel quest log.

The issue you are experiencing has nothing to do with LightHeaded. Please report back to let us know what you figure out.

Having three panes instead of two

Hi --

I've used lightheaded for quite a while and recently when I updated it, it changed - now I am forced to have a large three pane display - the full quest log open, and attached to that the quest that I'm interested in, and then the lightheaded info.

Before, when I opened my quest log, I'd see the normal quest log and then when I clicked on a specific quest, I'd see the lightheaded info pulled from wowhead. I liked that a great deal better as I find it very annoying to have a three panel screen in place - I can't see anything else and that can be dangerous when pausing to look something up.

I like having the lightheaded info attached - that's fine, I just don't understand why it was changed to force me to accept the listing of all my quests AND the quest info of the quest in particular - before it was just the quest in particular and the lightheaded info pertaining to it - I'm not sure what the utility of having a list of all the rest of my quests sitting would be?

Now I have first a full listing of all my quests and attached to that in one double panel, the quest info of the quest I'm looking up, then the lightheaded panel. Three - Quest log and the quest info as one double panel, and the third, the detachable lightheaded panel.

UberQuest was the problem for me too. Unchecked it in the addon screen, LH works fine now.

If that's the case, please contact the author of Uberquest for an update. Thanks!

I have Swatter installed to grab errors, and there are none for my current login. It's very puzzling!

Then I'd check to make sure the addon is listed in the addon selection screen, and I would reinstall the addon from scratch. It's very easy to unpack it incorrectly which can cause any number of issues. Please report back.

I just grabbed the latest LH and will be testing it with Carb later today.
