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.

Mithrasi A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Feature Suggestion Hey, I love the addon. Do you think it would be possible to add reminder functionality. ie. it would check the location of quests you need to turn in/finish and compare it to your current location. If they match it will remind you to turn in/do your quest. I just hate it when i leave someplace and realize i could have finished another quest if i remembered too. ! - Mith P.S. hope this is an ok place to post this.

Unfortunately, something like this would be outside of the scope of LightHeaded. Sorry!

Have you considered making the tools you use to parse the Wowhead/Thotbott sites available so that other people could create sets of up-to-date data for you on a (semi) regular basis rather than you needing to do it every time you create a new release of the addon? This might free up some of your time so you can use it to create more excellent addons (like this one) or even play a bit more WoW! __________________ Nothing is foolproof to a truly determined fool.

If you're not using the latest version (I suspect you are not, since I fixed this issue) then you should update.

No, I have no intentions of releasing the parsers. They would flood wowhead, and they would take measures to shut down my addon. Also, the parser needs to be updated any time wowhead changes their data. Also, I create new releases of the addon, specifically to include the new data. It's normally done on a regular basis, but finishing up the book cut quite a bit into my time.

Thanks.

No, that's an absurd request.

Nothing changed in LightHeaded. I suggest you contact the uberquest author, if they're providing support.

also making this an Ace2 mod would be great as well then we can use wowaceupdater to update it all the time.

No, this is an absurd request. Thanks.

We need people to actually send in exact Co-ords like by standing right on top of Quest location. I know you can see the '?' on the minimap but still,exact co-ords are helpful.
Or is it that TomTom Co-ords just give general areas of Location?

This Addon with tom tom is just a refrence tool. You do need to read the quest to know where you are supposed to be. Any Coords made by a player, 95% of the time you have to be in the correct area to get TomTom to work correctly. Any coords made by the site itself, Example, Where the quest giver, and where to turn in the quest, you could be anywhere in the world and it will tell you the correct place.

So simple solution... READ THE DAMN QUEST AND THEN USE THE ADDON!

request

I have grown accustomed to using Cartographer map notes and would like to be able to use Lighheaded to create them. Being able to click on the coords to sends the data to the clipboard, or selecting the text would be quite useful.

Despite my ungrateful begging, this is a fantastic mod. My love for this and other mods you have created is brighter than the sun. I am going to name my first born after you.

--edit--

I have since looked at the code and added a bit to make it compatible with Cartographer notes. It seems to work just fine for me, so I will include it in case any other user has coding knowledge and wishes to do the same:

line 615:

self:Print("NPC locations are not supported in this version of TomTom.")
end

if Cartographer_Notes and type(Cartographer_Notes.SetNote) == "function" then
local zone = select(z or GetCurrentMapZone(), GetMapZones(c or GetCurrentMapContinent()))
Cartographer_Notes:SetNote(zone, x/100, y/100, "Triangle", (UnitName("player")), 'manual', true, 'title', note);
end

if Cartographer_Waypoints and type(Cartographer_Waypoints.AddLHWaypoint) == "function" then

line 592:

TomTom:AddWaypoint(x, y, note)
end

if Cartographer_Notes and type(Cartographer_Notes.SetNote) == "function" then
Cartographer_Notes:SetNote(GetRealZoneText(), x/100, y/100, "Triangle", (UnitName("player")), 'manual', true, 'title', note);
end

if Cartographer_Waypoints and type(Cartographer_Waypoints.AddLHWaypoint) == "function" then

I added your code to LightHeaded.lua ... It works like a dream. Thanks!

P.S. - Thanks to the author for a great addon.

I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of the crazy arrow in lightheaded or tomtom. I would love to dump cart but cant cause I love the arrow. Do you have a svn with an alpha version of the crazy arrow? I would love to play with it.

Not one that has all the working features of the addon in general. I assure you, however, it works very similarily to the cart arrow.

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.
