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.

Love the work.
The user comments on wowhead are extremely good, and no, this is all I have to parse right now. It will not automatically update, but its easy to be notified when there's a new version, simple click "Add to Favorites" and you'll be notified by email when there's a new bversion.

Scrolling?

Hi.

First of all, thanks so much for all your hard work. I'm a perfectraid evangelist as well

My question is probably stupid. When wowhead feeds more than one page of info the lightheaded, I can't figure out how to scroll down. What am I doing wrong?

Also, is there any kind of /lightheaded interface to set up preferences or is it pretty much wysiwyg?

Thanks again.

My screenshot doesn't use EQL, that's DoubleWide from WoWInterface.com. Supposedly there's an issue with EQL, but I haven't had a chance to look at it-- and it works with all other quest logs without crashing.

Well, that functionality is in TomTom, not LightHeaded so this would be the wrong addon to post on. LightHeaded merely provides the comments, TomTom places them on the minimap when clicked.

Actually could you build in the quest note to work with CTmap mod as well? I ahve all my notes in that mod and It would be nice to use this mod with it.

I fixed this morning. Did you update today?

I may add a quest note feature at some point, but for now leaving comments is better for the community overall. If you need the note, and its not in the commentrs, someone else probably does too =)
