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.

Great work on this mod ! can't live without it.

However, there seems to be a problem with it atm.
When ever i click on the cords in lightheaded, tomtom only takes me to a position only on my current map, evem though the cords r in reference to another area. For eg i was in Feralas & click on a quest A Little Slime Goes a Long Way with cords Cursed Ooze are at 41,67 in Felwood, tomtom takes me to 41,67 in Feralas & NOT felwood. (which is in the middle of the ocean in this case lol)

is this a bug ? & is anyone else exp this ?
thanks heaps

(i don't have doublewide btw)

Just because you "think" they reference your current zone, doesn't mean they do. Unless a coordinate is given with an explicit continent, zone, x and y I can't infer anything. This is why the NPC coordinates work from any zone, but the ones in comments don't.

If you want more accuracy in comment coordinates, we should get people to add them as zcoord://cc/zz/xx/yy/desc and then I can parse them directly.

Quest info from WOWHead doesn't show in 3rd panel It has been suggested that a Mac user needs a different client in the addon Can you help?

I use LightHeaded (the build provided here on this very website) on several Mac platforms and have had no issue. The only minor difference between Mac and PC WoW clients is how frames are handled, and this itself is done in the background "via Blizzard". Lua is Lua, etc. etc.

I would suggest simply removing all references of LightHeaded from your Mac's WoW Interface> Addons directory and start over.

But using plain LightHeaded with the default Blizzard Questlog results in ZERO issues.

Reply once you've tried this (default Blizzard Questlog + LightHeaded r148 or higher)

Kimkong A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I am using Skinner too, so I use the command /lh detach to resize and move the frame, but it appears that the size and the place aren't memorized. Is there a way to memorize it, so I don't have to do it again every time I open WoW ? I tried using /lh attach after resizing the frame, but then I don't see the left part of lh, which slips under the quest log. (maybe this is because of Skinner or beql). (@ Vendray, I have the same "problem" but I don't think it's a bug, you just have to be on the correct map when you click on the coords, but if you're doing quest, you HAVE to be on the correct map, am I right ? ) Last edited by Kimkong : 07-26-07 at 01:09 PM.

Hi there. Love the work you've done with Lightheaded. Question though. I like Skinner (WowAce). Skinner's skin on the quest log frame makes the frame a bit wider. So, it overlaps the Lightheaded frame. Would you consider adding a method to allow adjustment of the Lightheaded frame in relation to the quest log frame? (If I made a WAG, I'd say 20 or 30 pixels to the right would be great.) I have one of the window moving utilities - MoveIt - but it seems the Lightheaded frame is part of the standard quest frame and cannot be moved separately.

My problem is when I target a specific quest to do, the quest details flash in the second window and then the target line jumps to the last quest in the list and only those details show in the expanded window.

Disable all other addons, and verify that it works (it should, they're all built off the default UI), then enable addons until you can reproduce the issue. Then we can look into how to resolve it.

I have been trying to abandon a quest at the top of my list. I select it but before I can click abandon, the cursor has jumped to the bottom quest on the list.

Can you help me?

I don't know what you're talking about, to be completely honest. It sounds like you're using something other than the default UI.. and without knowing what it makes it difficult to help you troubleshoot.

Yes it is, I just didn't paste it on the page. I did a weekly comment update. The changelog that exists in the zip file is the one that should be used payed attention to.

I don't understand.. this doesn't change that part of the UI at all.

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.
