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 am using HK_QuestInitiators and GFW_Levelator.. but those are just adding thing inside the default quest frame (the waypoint of the person giving me the quest in the quest's description and adding the level of the quest next to the quest's name in the quest list.)

The QuestLogDetailFrame is this and it can be opened by clicking the quest title of a quest being tracked on the objectives pane. And I want it there just due to my laziness to open the quest log (and possibly find the quest among others) when I can just click the one tracked on my objectives pane (yes, I am that lazy :P).

In the LockUnlockFrame() function there are two SetPoint() calls. The first is the position of the window when it's open, and the second is the position when it's closed.

I really don't like that Blizzard changed the dimensions of their frames, but I'm not really sure of any better course of action, really. Sorry about that =/

Here is a screen shot.

Both frames are skinned with skinner. Same problem with skinner disabled.

Any chance we could get this functionality implemented?

It'll still open and close when you open/close the quest log. When the official fix is released, you can just "/lh attach" again.

Cool cool.. As long as you are aware of it and an updated version will be released soon(ish)

EDIT: Ups.. If you collapse the LH pane, there is no way of getting it back as the button is hidden..

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.
