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.

Conflicts with DataStore & SmartQuest addons

Ok, with only your addon and DataStore (altoholic) and SmartQuest classic LK addons, I get the following issues:

DataStore:

Whenever a substep event happens, like gathering a quest item, the LH window pops open. I have to disable DataStore_Quests so it doesn't happen.

SmartQuest:

When I receive a new quest, the LH window pops open.

In either case, the window stays open unless I have autodetails enabled and I open and close the quest interface (L).

I suppose I could disable autodetails but then the feature that I love so much about your addon goes away.

Please help!

Either way try turning off /lh autodetails, it might do what you're looking for? Let me know!
Thanks for looking into it! I just went through my addons and it looks like DataStore was the culprit. Probably could have just disabled DataStore Quests but just got rid of it because it was just there as a dependency for another addon I never really use anyways.

Awesome! Thanks for all the work you've put into this addon.

Been using it and it runs. Having an issue, where the lh panel opens up all the time though. Not sure if I'm missing a setting or not. But whenever you accept a quest, loot a quest item, log into char, or die and turn into ghost the lh panel opens up. Apart from that it's working great, able to search quests, read the comments etc.
Haha that's fun. I'll look into it but not sure what's causing it.
No word on the fix for this recurring problem?

I have it open all the time anyway when I open the questbook
Btw, when I do /lh config the configuration page is blank.

Do not use the loadfix addon?

3x ...aceLightHeadedLoadFix/LightHeadedLoadFix.lua:9: attempt to call method 'AttachFrame' (a nil value)
[string "@LightHeadedLoadFix/LightHeadedLoadFix.lua"]:9: in function <...aceLightHeadedLoadFix/LightHeadedLoadFix.lua:8>

Locals:
self = Frame {
0 = <userdata>
}
event = "PLAYER_LOGIN"
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = <table> {
GetCurrentQID = <function> defined @LightHeaded/LightHeaded.lua:98
LoadNames = <function> defined @LightHeaded/LightHeaded.lua:109
Enable = <function> defined @LightHeaded/LightHeaded.lua:29
QUEST_LOG_UPDATE = <function> defined @LightHeaded/LightHeaded.lua:94
CreateConfig = <function> defined @LightHeaded/LightHeaded_Config.lua:93
StoreQIDOffsets = <function> defined @LightHeaded/LightHeaded.lua:141
version = "306"
GetQuestName = <function> defined @LightHeaded/LightHeaded.lua:134

This error appeared, I guess we don't need to use that loadfix addon anymore ...

Any news on update?

I apologize for my impatience, I'm just curious if there's any progress or if you've found time to work on it
