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.

They are clickable. Aim higher than you'd expect to.

Best of luck to you Clad! Real life is always more important than Wow - hope the surgery and recovery goes well!

Once I've been released, I'm not sure what state I will be in as far as having time to work on my addons and provide support to my users. Please be patient with me for the next few weeks as I work through some medical issues in my real life. Thank you for sticking with me

New code looks good so far, although I have found one small bug with it.

I'm currently on the Umber, Archivist quest, and when I click on a follow up quest to it (
Under the Chitin Was...) the tooltip that comes up for that follow-up quest doesn't go away at all, unless I hover over something else (to replace the tooltip). It may be because the quest doesn't have a description.

The tooltip also 'sticks' in the same way if you click a quest and the resulting quest's page has no tooltip under where your mouse happens to be - eg. if you are looking at the Scouring the Desert quest in LH and you click on the preceeding quest.

Hope this helps in some way.

edit: now I think about it, the first one is probably caused by the bug in the second one and has nothing to do with that specific quest
Thanks, I'll try to take a look at it. I'll just hide the tooltips whenever the frame is updated.

Just added some code from Slaren that does better escaping of BBCode tags and handles links to achievements/quests/items a bit better. Let me know what you think, we can tweak it to get it 'just right' if it's not already =).

At the current time, no.

On WowHead, some of the comments are highly rated and they show up green. It would be very cool if your add-on could give us an option to filter out anything that's not green / highly rated.

Thanks again!
The highest rated comments should appear towards the top of your results, ordered by date. I'd have to check to verify this, but that's the intent =)
