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.

Here are my debug messages-could not find quest info for quest #11608, 11602, 11888, 12486,11574,11614

Not sure if that will help, but I too am getting a blank screen beside the quests from Borean Tundra. No locations, no info, nothing.

I'll make a screenshot once the servers are back up.

Add-on conflict ? I'm only using Lightheaded with Tomtom, nothing else.

Also how do you update the database ? I found several quests in Northrend with no description but on Wowhead there are severals comments.

You can ignore the conflict for right now, and I'll remove the warning in due course. I update the database manually. It was last parsed on November 17th. If you see a comment that is not listed in the database, you must give me the numeric quest id as well as the comment you are not seeing so I can research it.

That is not anything with LightHeaded, but instead with the mod you are using for waypoints. This is either TomTom, Cartographer or MapNotes. TomTom still (and always has) had the right-click menu on wapoints. I'm not sure what you've changed.

You might have experienced it and just not known it. It is a real issue, but detecting it without false positives is very very difficult.

After the release none of the quests have been working. Is this for all or only me? Sorry if this has been reported before. I tried reinstalling it but still nothing. All other quests work fine.

Again, I don't understand what you mean. LightHeaded works just fine with quests from Northrend, in a number of ways. If it doesn't, I need to be notified with SPECIFIC quest ids and any other information you can provide.

The problem I'm having is that when I open my quest log, I get an error message and lightheaded blows up on me. Also, I can't seem to stop healbot and smartdebuff from showing up through the lightheaded quest panes. I have to move my quest log and lightheaded around to be able to read the comments. I also use Quest Guru and never had a problem until now. I am searching for another quest log replacement that I can live with but would prefer to keep Quest Guru if the error can be fixed, thanks.

LightHeaded does NOT blow up on you. It gives one message that is NOT an error, it is simply an information dialog box to inform you of certain issues. Let me state again, there IS no error, just a warning about a potential conflict.

I'm working with the authors of these mods, and hope to remove this code very soon.

Re: Problems after WotLK release

I haven't had any problems. Except that I haven't updated since the first WotLK push, and as of that push the Northrend NPC coords weren't available. Comments were fine though.

I'm afraid you'll need to be a little more specific about what's not working.

Again, you can certainly just ignore the popup message when it happens (or I can put some way to disable it) if you aren't experiencing the performance issues that it's meant to indicate.

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.
