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.

Umm.

Maybe try commenting out this block in LightHeaded.lua?

Code:
        QuestLogPopupDetailFrame:HookScript("OnShow", function()
        if self.db.profile.autodetails then
            self:LockUnlockFrame()
            LightHeadedFrame:Show()
        end
        end)

Thumbs up Long time user...

Just had to post and say THANK YOU for resuming development and support of this addon. There's NOTHING that even comes close. I'm so sorry for the situation that required you to go on hiatus (my heart breaks for you), but I and my wife are so THANKFUL you're back. You are a true asset and extremely appreciated in the WoW addon community. THANK YOU Cladhaire! You are 100%, totally, and completely awesome!

Missing comments

I have noticed that comments are missing from new BFA quests.

Is there a requirement of number of posts or anything before the addon will show them in game?

Thanks in advance for your great work!

Lightheaded window scaling

Is it possible to enter manual scaling options to change the lightheaded window panel (or make it so that the window can be moved from any anchor point?)

My window panel is stretched out (and off the screen both at the top and at the bottom) in such a way that I can not hit the x button, to close it, or minimize it from the bottom...

As a result, I've had to remove lightheaded completely (is there a reset option to fix this?) hm

Exclamation Removed APIs in 8.0.1

Apparently, 8.0.1 removed pretty much all the APIs used in LightHeaded:GetMapIdFromWowheadZone(zoneId), causing everything to explode when I try to click a destination to get an arrow to it coordinates.

Replacing the body of that function with "return nil, false, nil" seems to get TomTom waypoints working for me, though I'm not sure what else I'm missing out on that this was supposed to do (I just got back into the game recently).

I have a question that's always bugged me.

How come Lightheaded isn't identified as an addon in the Curse/Twitch updater?

It's the only addon in my folder that doesn't show up in the list.

I'll do my best, but its hard to commit to regular updates. As for the filename, sure I can re-add that to the release version, but it's also included in the commit log/changelog that's released and updated with each addon.
I understand, which is why I realize it's a major request. When I decided that 'about a week after' for major patches, as an alternate, my hope is that a week will give time for folks to comment on wowhead aboutg the new stuff, so the parse can pick it up and include it.

Thanks for the consideration, I do appreciate it. Do you have a patreon?
-Barleduq
I don't, I've accepted donations from the community for years but I don't think that's necessary. I'm not doing much other than the occasional fix to the addon as time permits. Lunarwtr is doing most of the parsing and then sending me the updates.
