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!

The files were still showing out of date for me, but in the add on screen in the upper left or right hand corner there is an option to load out of date add ons. This allowed this to work for me!

Thanks!
Sorry about that, updated!

Glad to hear it!

I choose to host my addons at wowinterface.com. You can list the addon as a favorite, and then you are notified by email when the addon is updated. Glad you like the addon.

Using Lightheaded with Uberquest

Can anyone tell me how to get Lightheaded to work with Uberquest? Uberquest 2.1.2 now has Lightheaded support, and I have both addons installed, but I don't see Lightheaded when I open/configure Uberquest. Thanks!

Re: Re: Problem with addon

Umm.. that means you have no saved variables, which doesn't make any sense.. can you run /script LightHeadedDB = {} and reload ui?

Found the problem. For some reason it does not work with the add on called Expressmail.

So if anyone has that addon it won't work.

Thanks

Someone mentioned that you should run WoW from outside the Program Files folder, i.e. install it to some other location and you end up having less issues with Vista's UAC. Thanks for reporting back.
It is very strange...

What i have done :

Set user control security OFF in vista.

I had an old version of your addon 1.52 with french support (that i received from the translator before that you add french in your updates).
It is perfectly working !

I made an update to the last version r169.
The text from wowhead is not showing....

Tried 1.68 same problem.

I moved my WOW install folder from Program Files to C:/WORLD OF WARCRAFT.
Same results :
1.52 working
r169 not working
r168 not working.

When i have time i will try to uninstall the game and reinstall it on another partition as the one where vista is installed.

Nobody else running this addon under vista ??? Have you problems too ??
