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 submitted a new version that contains the new quests for Cladhaire to review.

Thank you so much!

In regards to TaskPOI_OnClick, isn't it BaseMapPoiPinMixin:OnClick that you need to hook? Or do the map pins have a copy of that mixin and you can't really hook that function? If you can hook it you'd still need to filter the pin types I guess.

Also, I found QuestPinTemplate which (from what I can tell) is a XML template, the pins can be found using MapCanvasMixin:EnumeratePinsByTemplate('QuestPinTemplate')

You probably already knew all this, but it can't hurt to share what I've found. This new mixin stuff makes it a bit harder to code

I don't actually, so this helps quite a bit, thanks. I don't know what I'll be able to do with it (or when) but I'll try.

CJNight15 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Interaction with Map Appreciate the work done on this add-on. Just wanted to know if there is a way to automatically turn off the "Search for a quest..." comment window when looking at your map? For myself personally, I use the (L) option to open my quest log which also opens the add-ons comment window, which is great. But when I decide to view the map by itself on a larger scale after pressing (M), the comments window opens, blocking my view of the map and then does not close automatically when the map itself is closed. Is there an option or way to have the comment window only open when opening the Quest Log (L), but not open when just viewing the map (M)? Thanks again for all the work done on this add-on! Edit: As I finished writing this and checking WoW one last time before posting, the issue seemed to resolve itself. Opening the map just now did not open that comment window, but opening the quest log did. Not sure why it was acting up earlier. Edit 2: So I think it has something to do with quest log/tracking. Not sure why sometimes the window will be fine, but none of my quest tracking will show up and other times when I open the map it jumps to Antorus, The Burning Throne. I believe it jumps to that part of the map and opens the comment window because The Death of a Titan, is the first quest in my quest log. Edit 3: The comment window will also sometimes open randomly and make the map jump to Antorus, The Burning Throne, while navigating around the map. Last edited by CJNight15 : 07-21-18 at 10:19 AM.

I should also add (in case anyone wants to know) that you have updated Tomtom too, I just d/l'ed the beta and it works great, it even got rid of the crazy arrow when I clicked on that option (I don't like the crazy arrow in the middle of the screen). Anyway, thank you so much, your two addons are my #1's.

I was able to use Word Pad (Notepad messed up the formatting of the file) and LH is working perfectly.

Thanks so much for the help!

If I commented out the correct line in LightHeaded.lua, it didn't work. The LightHeaded.lua:73 is throwing me - I don't see that anywhere, which I suspect is the problem.

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.
