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.

If someone lets me know what I need to do, sure. Unfortunately I dont' have much time right now for research.

I'll keep you posted. __________________ "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.

Re: Cartographer Notes instead of Waypoints

Originally posted by bennyb
I really like this mod, but would like to request a change to how it works with Cartographer.
At the moment you are showing a waypoint went clicking co-ords.

I think it would be better to add a map note instead, that way I can run though my quest log clicking the co-ords and I can see on the map what quests are grouped together. Then if I want a waypoint I can set one from the map.

Somebody posted a bit of code to insert in to the "old" version of LightHeaded to do just this, and the system worked really well.

Not at the top of my list, since I barely support Cartographer as it is.. If someone wants to post a diff, I can look at adding it with some option.

Re: A coding suggestion

Originally posted by ahzurdan
There are other addons, like MonkeyQuest, that directly open the Quest Log and set the focus to a specific quest.

In order for LightHeaded to switch the quest focus without the user directly clicking on the QuestLogTitleButton, it would probably be a good idea to hook the QuestLog_Update function instead of the QuestLogTitleButton_OnClick function.

I'll look into it.

Ahh, I did not realize that. Thanks for the enlightenment.

I was experiencing the blank LH frame as well but managed to track down the problem (for me atleast). I use LH, DW and TT as suggested by Claid but by default my quest log/ DW overlap the LH frame which forces me to detach the LH frame so that I can pull it out into view. When I do that it is fine but if I relog it causes my LH to appear blank. I can fix it by reattaching the LH to my questlog frame. Once I do that the LH reappears and I can detach LH just as before and LH still appear until I relog again. Not a huge problem for me but something to be fixed.

Okay.. someone else reported this issue, I'll look into it.

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.
