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.

LightHeaded_Config.lua
and the subdirectory LibSimpleOptions-1.0(not sure this one was necessary).

It works for normal quests except the dungeon quests, but for these you can research the quest in the title bar and they will show.

Hope it helps
Doesn't seem to be working for me. Could you upload the files?

Assuming you don't have time to continue to update this addon, could you place Lightheaded under a GNU license or similar so others can build on your work?

Lightheaded has been instrumental to my enjoyment of WoW and I have happily donated to you for your work. Unfortunately, it is currently copyright all rights reserved which makes derivative work on it problematic.

Thanks again.
That would be great. Like on Curse they have an owner but also maintainers.

Just want to add that it would be greatly appreciated when you can update this for TBCC. Thank you for the hard work of putting this addon together. Probably one of the most game changing ones for me.

I don't think that's coming from LightHeaded, oddly enough. Have you tried a fresh reinstall?

I removed the folders of LightHeaded, downloaded again... error again:

I disabled all my addon again, my WoW Classic is a fresh install.

luv the addon ty for all the hard work!

Yeah I haven't gotten around to fixing this, but I'll see what I can do next time I'm working on it!
