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.

Disable all addons except the LightHeaded ones. TO make this easy, create a new character on a new server (addon settings are per-server). Disable All, enable just the LightHeaded ones.

If, when you open the quest log, LightHeaded is there and has data (get your initial quest to test), then LightHeaded is working properly. I suspect this is the case, so you would need to contact the author of nQuestLog.

There hasn't been a new version for a few weeks. All of the LightHeaded_ folders must be in your AddOns directory, NOT all under a LightHeaded folder. They are all individual addons and must be installed correctly.

Re: Re: Re: Great addon, but problem with links.

Originally posted by animathias
That seemed to be the case. However, after going through the song and dance of unloading all my addons then loading them back up in groups, I didn't find one that interferes with Lightheaded. Now, the addon is working fine after that, but after loading every single addon again, I didn't find one that caused the same problem.
I didn't have any addons on my Hunter that I don't use on other characters, and I didn't download any new ones during maitenence on Tuesday (They worked before, didn't work after). It was very strange, and as I said I had attempted running them alone before and that didn't work, but it did this time. Also, normally when that happens I can pinpoint the other addon that's causing interference.

Oh well, it was probably user error anyway Much thanks for your time.
It has happened to me (well i've been unable to click on some links.. clicking multiple times seemed to make it work) so I understand how frustrating this can be. Hopefully it behaves until I can get a new version out ! :P

Thumbs up Re: Re: Great addon, but problem with links.

Hrm, that leads me to believe that there is another addon that is conflicting, and I'd love to figure out how and what it is. I'm working on a revamp for 2.4 that should be much more accurate and hopefully will be able to completely squash this issue. Do you have any addons that are loaded on your hunter, and not on your other characters?

First off, I'd like to say thank you for making Lightheaded and TomTom, both have made my entrance into the Outlands much easier.

That said, a problem recently sprung up where I am unable to use any of the Lightheaded links. It simply does not register my mouse click on the links, but everything else including the Quest Log, the WoWhead.com ad, and the minimize/close buttons work fine. I have attempted reinstalling the addons, and running them alone and seperately with no other ones working, but to no avail. Any tips would be appreciated.

Edit: Addon works for every character, except for my 62 Hunter in the Outlands.

You need to ensure you get the full 5.5 megabyte file. The zip that is posted in not corrupt.

Why would I do that? I mean, I'll consider anything.. but what would be my motivation behind moving to one of the other database sites?

Do you have their consent/permission to distribute their data in an addon or ?

I am not affiliated with wowhead.com, but they are aware of the project and I have not been asked to shut down the project officially.
