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.

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

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

I can confirm there are some npcs that are not in the location database. I'm looking into why this is. I would like to re-iterate yet again that this is in fact NOT all quests.

/run LightHeaded:UpdateFrame(3443)

There, that quest has NPCs as do lots of others. This is why blanket reports of "this is broken for everything" does not help me. Just because it didn't work for a bunch of your quests, does not mean that the entire system is broken. I always need a single example in order to look into the issue.

I edited the post and added examples of 2 quests and the NPCs

However, those are just examples, the same goes for all quests (that I checked)

Same problem as sithlord89

I have same problem as sithlord89, for all NPCs in the quest log I get " location unknown"

I use the English UK local.

Examples:

Pre wotlk quest [The Madness Within]
NPC: [Shen'drala Ancient]

Wotlk quest: [Flight of the Wintergarde Defender]
NPC: [Gryphon Commander Urik]

I need a specific NPC. I absolutely cannot reproduce this issue, so I need more information so I can check the data files specifically. I have quite a number of quests and NPCs that I can access without any issue.

I need to know specifically where you are having a problem. There are NO blanket issues right now, just isolated ones that may be related.. but its a class of problem I don't have.
