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.

You'll need to give some more information about what you're doing. You need to unzip the file you download from this site. Inside that directory, there are a bunch of directories that begin with LightHeaded. All of these need to be placed in your AddOns folder.

thanks for your time,

No, its not really that easy. I'm not trying to be defensive, but I'd like you to be able to use the addon if you're able to. In order to do that, you just need to talk to someone on the Cosmos team.

Best wishes

Then perhaps you should talk to the PartyQuests author to make it work with Lightheaded, not the other way around. My mod will NOT be changing to match every single one of the 17,000 quest mods that exist. If they want to be able to provide LightHeaded to their users, its extremely easy to do so.

Thanks, that did the trick. Obviously LH doesnt work with Extended Questlog. Works perfectly with DoubleWide though, which serves the same purpose.

Cheers!

Not one that has all the working features of the addon in general. I assure you, however, it works very similarily to the cart arrow.

I added your code to LightHeaded.lua ... It works like a dream. Thanks!

P.S. - Thanks to the author for a great addon.

request

I have grown accustomed to using Cartographer map notes and would like to be able to use Lighheaded to create them. Being able to click on the coords to sends the data to the clipboard, or selecting the text would be quite useful.

Despite my ungrateful begging, this is a fantastic mod. My love for this and other mods you have created is brighter than the sun. I am going to name my first born after you.

--edit--

I have since looked at the code and added a bit to make it compatible with Cartographer notes. It seems to work just fine for me, so I will include it in case any other user has coding knowledge and wishes to do the same:

line 615:

self:Print("NPC locations are not supported in this version of TomTom.")
end

if Cartographer_Notes and type(Cartographer_Notes.SetNote) == "function" then
local zone = select(z or GetCurrentMapZone(), GetMapZones(c or GetCurrentMapContinent()))
Cartographer_Notes:SetNote(zone, x/100, y/100, "Triangle", (UnitName("player")), 'manual', true, 'title', note);
end

if Cartographer_Waypoints and type(Cartographer_Waypoints.AddLHWaypoint) == "function" then

line 592:

TomTom:AddWaypoint(x, y, note)
end

if Cartographer_Notes and type(Cartographer_Notes.SetNote) == "function" then
Cartographer_Notes:SetNote(GetRealZoneText(), x/100, y/100, "Triangle", (UnitName("player")), 'manual', true, 'title', note);
end

if Cartographer_Waypoints and type(Cartographer_Waypoints.AddLHWaypoint) == "function" then

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.
