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.

Exclamation not working with german client / locale at all ?

Heloo, since people discuss about detail Problems, I assume that I am correct by stating this Addon doesn't work for the german client at all.

Maybe this is intended (stated otherwise in the description)
or it is a bug which nobody brought up till now ?

So if it is a Bug, it would be nice to fix it.


Problem description:
The Quest Title is shown (in english) and the rest of the Box is complete empty.

Exclamation Bug

Yeah, not sure where to post bugs so this will have to do for now...

When using this addon, if any other zones with quests are minimized in the quest log, lightheaded will stay (or quickly switch back) to the first page and not let you view the other pages of comments for any quests. If all the zones are expanded then it works just fine.

Thanks for the mod, been using it a while and wouldn't play without it anymore

I cant believe the parse is friendly to the wowhead site, but maybe you could do a weekly parse till things seem to stable up?

just pointing it out


love that mod!
I tend to update on Tuesdays... but that may change as we move forward.

I've updated the NPC location database.. anything that didn't exist last patch should now be reflected (if it's in the wowhead database).

You are correct ofcourse, I did not (and cannot) actually check all quests, just all the quests currently in my log.

Will it be of any help if I list more examples?

and btw, thanks for the great addon

That was probably it, deleted it from my addons folder rather than contiously replacing it and just replaced it after that. Now it's working @_@ Thank you for your time and sorry for the trouble. Awesome addon. Now to get to 80 in STYLE. =D

/run LightHeaded:UpdateFrame(12458)

That will load the information for that quest, regardless of whether or not you have the quest in your log.
