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.

Anyone else experience this?

It will mark the NPC location for whatever zone the NPC is in. These are full coordinates, so they have the zone and continent information embedded in them, unlike the derived coordinates in user comments.

If you're experiencing something different, please report it as a bug, listing the specific NPC and quest.

Do you plan to translate your addon with the recent addition to wowhead (language selection). I would be greatly interested in a french translation. I can help you translate all the words and sentences that you need for you addon and test the translation on my wow client.

If you're too busy to make a full translation, do you mind if I look inside your addon to tweak it to display at leat french data from wowhead ?

Unfortunately this would require me to double parse absolutely everything, which is already an extremely expensive operation. I'll look into it, but it's not very likely. There's nothing you can change within the addon to make this work-- I would have to make the change.

I tried the Atlas map, and it shows the dot, but I dont like Atlas and i want to continue using Cartographer.

So please, is there any posibillity to get the dot on the Cartographer world map? I find this really annoying..

Thanks

This issue was fixed months ago by the Cartographer author. Please update Cartographer. If that doesn't fix it, please report back the EXACT version you are downloading and from where.

You are playing on a private server. No one here will help you, with good reason. I will absolutely not provide support for private servers.

Re: Re: Help on a mac

This worked like a charm. I guess I have too many crufty addons. SOMEDAY I've got to clean them out. Thanks again!

To see how LightHeaded looks and works, just do the following:

1. Log into WoW
2. Instead of going to home your server, pick another random one
3. Make a character
4. At the character selection screen, disable ALL addons except those that start with LightHeaded
5. Log into your character

When you open your quest log, you should see Lightheaded alongside the normal quest log. What is probably happening is that you have some quest log replacement addon that doesn't use the QuestLogFrame.. which means LightHeaded isn't showing alongside it.

You can enable/disable addons on this test character/server to see what's going on. The reason to do it on another server is so it doesn' affect your addon selections for your main characters.

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks.

Yeah, I suppose so. QuestsFu hasn't really been updated to deal with quests through quest links which I guess is why it doesn't have a convenience function like that.

For some reason I thought the LightHeaded quest ID was something proprietary to LightHeaded but I just realized that it can't be if it's extracted out of the link text

The fix would be a bit neater if there were a LightHeaded function for getting the quest ID for a quest by quest log index. I had to copy part of LightHeaded:GetCurrentQID() to do that.

LightHeaded 2.4 only accepts quest ids in the API, whatever addon is causing this is sending the quest title instead. Please contact that author.

Yeah I was getting an error related to Levelator calling LightHeaded. At first I thought it was a LightHeaded error until I looked through the entire error string. It's probably something else outdated that's causing the error, so go through the whole error and find out what addon is causing it and either disable it or update it.

Yes.

Bugsack doesn't show more info than that.

Then you need to enable full errors in bugsack. There's a LOT more information than that available.

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.
