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.

Anyhoo, I hate to question what you are saying but I cannot find Cartographer_Waypoints anywhere. Nor can I find it in my old addons folder.

That arrow was the biggest crutch for me.
Just incase you're looking top level, CT WayPoints is located:

\Interface\AddOns\Cartographer\Cartographer_Waypoints

As a note, the Crazy Taxi arrow is awesome, looking forward to it being in Tom Tom

Is there something I missed on this one that you have to do differently? It tells me it is unable to create the directory when I unzip it. I have changed everything I can to allow full access to the files and folders.

Any help would be appreciated!

There's nothing special about LightHeaded that should cause any problems, it's just a simple zip file like the rest.

This is very strange because I never used the arrow indicator until I installed TomTom and Lightheaded.

A friend actually told me about those two mods and even showed how it worked while visiting his casa.

I know that until I installed those two addons specifically, I never had the arrow indicating what direction I needed to go in etc.

Anyone have a clue what addon allowed the arrow or used it in conjunction with TomTom and lightheaded?
As I've stated, you can download Cartographer to get the waypoint arrow. All TomTom provides is arrows on the minimap that tell you which direction your waypoint is in. If you want the other arrow, until I finish and release the next version of the mod, that's what you'll need to do.

If you're talking about the minimap arrows, thats TomTom
If you're talking about the crazy taxi-like arrow, thats Cartographer_Waypoints.

Great mod! Is it possible if the comments were sorted by their rating so the highest rated comments are first since they're usually the ones that contain the coordinates and useful info?

I release new versions when I am able to parse. You can click "Add to Favorites" on the addon page, and then go to your user control panel to be notified via email when new updates are posted.

Thumbs up Re: Re: Extended Quest Log compatibility

Sure, just have the author add it. Compatibility with other quest logs isn't really feasible in LightHeaded itself, it would haev to come from the quest log side of things.
