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.

Im having an Issue with downloading Lightheaded, I've downloaded an older version, but after downloading the curse client, i was having troubles and deleted all of my addons, so i could start fresh.

TomTom i was able to download again, but light headed would not go through. here are the steps i took:

Clicked the download Link, Selected Save, and saved it to
C:>Program Files>World of Warcraft>Interface>Addons>Lightheaded-r239

Then i Extracted all the files into the same folder that the zipped folder i downloaded was in.

Im now wondering why it wont Load into World of Warcraft.

Any help would be Great I'm guessing i just did something wrong, but i've been looking around and havent been able to figure it out

LightHeaded consists of six folders. ALL of those folders need to be placed in your addons directory. The README.TXT clearly explains all of this.

Refresh Quest Data

Is there a way to refresh the data for a quest that is gotten from wowhead? I know there are some newer comments on a quest I am looking at but they do not show in the game when I am looking at it. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you.

You wait until I upload a new version, and then download and install it :P

I'm not sure what else to tell you. If you're using Windows XP, you don't need WinZip. LightHeaded is just a simple .zip file.

LightHeaded doesn't have any options to ignore anything, so you must be talking about another addon.

As soon as they appear on Wowhead and I re-parse the database.

Error

I've installed Lightheaded reinstalled it even tried older versions and I keep getting this error.
Error: attempt to concatenate field 'version' (a nil value)
Addon: Lightheaded
File: Lightheaded.lua
Line: 1024
Count: 1

Nevermind turned out Curse Client kept restoring a corrupted version so I had to go into SavedVariables and delete it then reinstall Lightheaded.

Thanks for reporting back. Please if you're posting an error message ensure you post the entire error message. Without the stack traceback its pretty useless.

i got a strange error, i am not able to scroll down in lightheaded. it keeps jumping back to top all time. even if i grab the scrollbar and pull it down, it still jumps back to top. so i am not able to read the info and to click the coords...
there is no error-message, it simply won't let me scroll down.

i suppose it must have something to do with a refresh-mechanism or something like that?

i deleted lightheaded and also the saved variables for lightheaded, and from then on it worked for a short time... now i got the same error.

any suggestions?

I have the same problem, and the only solution i could find was to use an old version of lightheaded >.<
