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 changed your addons. If you want the arrow, you need to have Cartographer_Waypoints, since thats the addon that provides that functionality. If you'd like the waypoints on the map/minimap, then you need TomTom.

That functionality has never been in LightHeaded.

For such a wonderful Mod, why not create an update application that allows people to not only update this, but tomtom as well. Perhaps there already is one I don't know about, if so, please post it hear. Another option would be to Ace this mod.

Thanks for the consideration.

1.) Please, for the love of god, never ask an author to "Ace" their mod. You may think its a simple request, but its actually extremely offensive and rude. I won't count this against you, this time :P

2.) Why is it in serious need of an updater application? There aren't bugs in it, and it "just works". The state of comments for most of the quests in the game are in a low rate of change, and as a result I update the addon once a week at most.

3.) TomTom hasn't changed since before the last patch. Claiming it's in "Serious" need of an updater is a bit of an exaggeration.

4.) Wowinterface.com allows you to tag addons as favorites. When a favorite of yours is updated, you are notified by email and a direct link to download the file.

I'm glad you enjoy my addon, and I'm hoping that my responses make sense. There are good reasons for everything, even if its not immediately obvious. My addons are not like many of the "Ace" addons you may be familiar with that have a high rate of change and bugfixing. I do extensive testing, and do my best to provide stable software releases so my users don't have to sit spamming an update button to make sure their UI works when they want to play their game.

That is the most recent version, and it downloads LightHeaded-172.zip. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

4.) Enable /lh debug and see if you get any more information that way
5.) Are you running Windows Vista?

Also, please don't post here saying you're using the "Latest build", without checking first. r-172 is the latest version, I would suggest trying that.

Sorry about that. Build 172 working great!!!

Thanks again.

I could see another post here with the same problem. Any idea?

Re: Can't see the UI

I have just recently added on this and tomtom UI after the update.

I had cosmos installed (and updated after 2.3), and then copied the files over from this UI download into the addon folder. It seems to load fine in to the game (when I do /lh i see command options) but when i bring up the quest menu, i don't see the UI. could you help? thanks!

Cosmos uses PartyQuests as its default quest log, which I don't believe is based off the default quest log frame. You'll need to talk to the author of that addon to see if they can add support for LightHeaded.

Cladhaire Salad! Forum posts: 1935 File comments: 4940 Uploads: 19	Sorry guys, the update page at wowinterface.com has a spot to select the file to upload, but by default the "keep the current file" radio is selected. So sometimes when I'm not paying attention, even when I think I've told it to use the new file, I haven't. Should be the newest version now. The new XP information hasn't come down en masse from WoWhead yet, so I'm holding off on an update until later this week. __________________ "There's only one thing that I know how to do well and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you-- be what you're like-- be like yourself.

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.
