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!

Updated 2022-12-15 for retail.

Yes, it should be the only change. I haven't had a chance to go through everything else yet, but I anticipate being able do this sometime tonight or tomorrow.

From http://www.wowpedia.org/Patch_5.0.4/API_changes

UIPanelButtonTemplate2 is renamed to UIPanelButtonTemplate; the old version of which is removed.

This works like a charm. Been using this since i tested it, and have seen no errors from Lightheaded since.

No rush, just something I came across and knew if I didn't post it now, I'd forget.

Where do you want bug reports sent to? I tried to use LH with the 5.0.4 patch, and got this LUA error when I tried to open it at the Interface Menu.
I'll see if I can fix things up before I leave for Sweden.
This should be an easy fix.

From http://www.wowpedia.org/Patch_5.0.4/API_changes

UIPanelButtonTemplate2 is renamed to UIPanelButtonTemplate; the old version of which is removed.

I'll be trying this right now.

Edit: Seems like it works. I get no errors, and quest descriptions pop up just as they did before patch.

Good suggestion, but no plans to do this at this time.

Hello

hi there , nice addon there , really enjoying it ^^ , but i was wondering about if you where interested in making the Lightheaded window also display the quest rewards ( gold and or otherwise ) when selecting a quest ? , i find myself looking for better armor or more usually Weapons or even Transmo items , and it would be real handy if i can see with each quest chain what the eventual benefits i would be gaining from doing them , would also be less waste of time doing a whole chain for nothing ^^ , anyway if you could think about this that would be nice , oh and btw i noticed you still have plugins to Cartographer 2 and 3 ? , that addon has been officially dead since 2009 + - lol , some over the Woltk period made some home made updates and posted them on curse or similar websites but even curse removed it from their database after Cataclysm hit , probably because the Lua coding its using since then and completely unusable , just saying

Exclamation Crash report

Hi!

For a few days the same behavior as reported 4-20:
the frame shows up but it can't load any of the quest data according to the debug
(attached below).
Out of date addons is on, all modules enabled.

Any idea what happened?


Regards
* Gregor
