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.

zedbg A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 41 Uploads: 0	Ill answer the things u asked before i hope it helps: a.) Does it work with any quests at all, or is this only happening with a specific quest. b.) If its a specific quest, what is the quest name, level, and faction (alliance or horde) c.) Are you getting any Lua errors? Turn Lua errors on in Interface Options and see if you have any errors popping up. d.) Did you follow the directions? You should have a total of eleven folders in your Wow/Interface/Addons directory, do you? a.) its same with all quests b.) c.)Im using bugsack and i dont have any errors at all d.)Installed properly and reinstalled twice Ill be glad to help with other info, strange is that my alliance chars are ok but horde not.

I would appreciate any information you can provide, since I cannot reproduce this issue.

Same problem here as TygerTyger.

What version of Cartographer and Cartographer_Waypoints are beeing used ?

Maybe make a link here on where to get them ?

Would be awsome

Cheers

I don't support those addons, but I understand the version on curse is out of date, and the one on files.wowace.com works correctly.

Kimkong A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	For people using Cartographer : I always use the latest version of Cartographer and Cartographer_Waypoints and everything works. You can download it at http://files.wowace.com and for easy updates you can use WowAceUpdater at http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WowAceUpdater and if it still doesn't work, try using TomTom ... The waypoints are really the best part of this addon I think, so I hope it will work ! @Redmercy : I suppose it is the case but are you using the english version of Wow ? Because it doesn't work with the other localizations... When I tried with the French one everything was blank... Btw, thank you very much Cladhaire for this wonderful addon !

techweenie A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	This mod doesn't seem to be compatible with Extended Questlog available here: http://wowui.incgamers.com/ui.php?id=4188. LightHeaded simply doesn't show up anywhere, whether the frame is attached or detached. This is more of an informative notice than a complaint. Are there any mods similar to what I linked that work with LightHeaded? I know Bayi's version does, but that locks up WoW every time I use it.

A) This is happening to all the quest, but once again, it does work once i use that command /lh page a couple times.
B) -----------------------------------------------------------------------(Alliance at the moment)
C) Not sure, where do i turn that on in the interface, i cant find it
D) yes

More likely, the modules aren't loaded - as this is the exact behavior I am able to yield if I select a quest without one of the modules loaded from the char sel screen.

The average user does not need to be notified every single time a file is loaded. I may split them into two different options, but not right at the moment.

Kavaa A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	k, if you are like me and prefer notes to waypoints in cartographer, in the lightheaded.lua simply replace the 2 instances of : if Cartographer_Waypoints and type(Cartographer_Waypoints.AddLHWaypoint) == "function" then Cartographer_Waypoints:AddLHWaypoint(nil, nil, x, y, note) elseif Cartographer_Waypoints then self:Print("LightHeaded waypoints are not supported in this version of Cartographer_Waypoints.") end with: if Cartographer_Notes then zone = Cartographer:GetCurrentEnglishZoneName() Cartographer_Notes:SetNote(zone, x/100, y/100, note, "LightHeaded") end If it would be possible to add this as a shift click or something, i would be very happy.

It might save some headache on relaying the first step in helping you solve an issue rather than potentially not hearing from someone after they post (which I would imagine sucks to have happen, as an author). More likely, the modules aren't loaded - as this is the exact behavior I am able to yield if I select a quest without one of the modules loaded from the char sel screen.

edit: well actually, it does show sometimes, if i type /lh page twice or once, until it makes everything show on 1 page, not multiple, then it does show the comments, but thats weird...i have to type /lh page to see the commends everytime?

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.
