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.

The comma within the second coord pair

I had this one too and I think it might be, as strange as it sounds , a bug in string.format(), not in parsing comments. I found that the coord display from mapnotes showed the same bug (0.00, 0,00). Then I took a look at the code and changed LighHeaded.lua line 398 to
return string.format("|cFF0066FF|Hlhref:coord:%0.0f:%0.0f:"..qid .. "|h[%.0f, %.0f]|h|r", x, y, x, y)
That removed coordinate decimal accuracy, but also any decimal seperator, and therefore put the whole thing back to work. I do not exactly understand, why the second occurence of %0.2f in string.format() seems to give a false formatted result, maybe its some overdone localisation to a german decimal ",", but at least I can click the coordinates again.

I have cartographer, not cartographer3; with Lightheaded, doublewide, Tomtom , along with a few other addons but the four listed are what gives me the desired effects that I had before the patch (in regard to log/mapping quest help). What I get in the lines of quest help is when I open the quest log I can see the suggested level of the quest and on most quests i'll get a speach bubble type thing that will map the coordinates of where you should find an item(s) or person(s). Hope this helps! KZXten

When i click on coordinates in LightHeaded that are shown like [33.33, 55,11], it won't add them as a waypoint, the arrow from TomTom doesn't show.

Re: LH Lag

Any help for this, or any idea why? Thank you for your time and your great addons.

I'm sorry but this can't be caused by only LightHeaded. The only time that LightHeaded changes the quest it is displaying is when someone calls the SelectQuestLogEntry() function. This is only called by the default user interface in the quest log code (when you click a new quest, etc). Addons that are known to cause this issue are Armory and a few others.

I was wondering if there is anyway that LightHeaded can lookup quests from a quest link? I have guildies and friends ask me all the time about a quest they're on. They link the quest to me via chat. I wish there was a way I could look up the quest for them in Lightheaded.

Maybe a command line feature ie...

/lh [quest link here]

or

/lh show [quest link here]

Yes, I would like to see this, but not sure how soon I'll put it in.

Anything Im forgetting to do?

How do you mean "the old one is still the one enabled". I don't understand what that means.

LH does not "support" anything.. if something broke it was in another addon. LightHeaded is designed to work with the default ques log, any other integration is done by the other addon.

None of these addons provide that feature. As listed in the addon description, I use Gazmik Fizzwidget's Levelator to display quest levels.

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.
