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.

I'll try and take all the addons off and add them one at a time to see if one of the other ones is messing something up.

It's almost certainly a quest log replacement or something similar. Let me know what you find out.

AddonLoader
Lightheaded
TomTom
TourGuide

With these four addons the lightheaded window never appears until I /rl a few times. If I remove all your addonloader stuff from the LightHeaded.toc file it works fine.

What version? What versions of WoW? Thanks for helping me to troubleshoot it.

The AddonLoader code should be working fine still, nothing has changed in that regard.

TourGuide: ## Version: 3.3.0.56
LightHeaded: ## Version: 310
TomTom: ## X-Curse-Packaged-Version: r240-release
AddonLoader: ## Version: 2.0

This is all in the standard version of wow. It works fine in the beta.

I'm more than happy to help someone fix it, but Lightheaded always does the same thing. I'm not in the habit of changing things on my end to work with other addons, that just becomes a race I can't win and will always lose. If you have a specific addon in mind and want that addon author to work with me, then we could do that.

tomQuest2 has a nice achievement/quest tracker frame that works just fine with LightHeaded, I used to use nQuestLog as well and find tomQuest2 a nice replacement.

Zidomo A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 76 File comments: 1046 Uploads: 0	Another data issue just came across with r310 in WoW 3.3.5 live. On a character am starting to level again who's at level 70, have a bunch of level 68-72 quests. One from a BC zone, the rest from LK. For each one there is an "Experience: (number)" line, which is fine. But below that on each quest is the following incorrect line: "At level 70: (various gold amount)". This despite each quest not showing any gold rewards in the official quest description pane on that character, only XP. Should the line be "At level 80:" ?

Kyouki A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Cataclysm Hi Cladhaire I've been using Lightheaded (with tomtom) for longer than I can remember; where others choose QuestHelper or other addons, I always seem to know where to go... at least if they'll give a second to read through the comments... some are long, but rarely am I left without help. I'm in the group that was alpha testing the new expansion - it's beta now, closed beta, with a good bit of the newness on the PTR as well. There is a list of addons that work with beta, but I don't see this addon there. Are you in beta, or will you be updating this for Cataclysm only when the expansion goes live? Thank you for your hard work and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with information on specific quests for beta and/or Cataclysm when it goes live. I assumed that they would give beta keys to authors of well-known and well respected addons such as this one in order that they may get the addon working for the expansion as soon as possible, but I haven't read down into all the comments to see if you are, indeed, in beta, and when the addon, if it isn't already, will be ready for the expansion. Thank you so much. Regards, Cami

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.
