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

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!

* Altered the logic of the LightHeaded display frame, such that it will remember in the same session what page/scroll location you were at for any given quest. This means if you scroll to the bottom of page 3 on a specific quest, select another one and then come back you will go back to that same location.
* Added basic detection for addon conflicts (where the offending addon is causing cyclic scans of the quest log frames). These addons can severely impact the performance of your client when using LightHeaded together with them, so a warning message is displayed.

... the addon doesn't automatically get that data, I have to run a parse on the wowhead database in order to generate it. The addon description states the last time this happened. The "new quests" have just reached critical mass, i.e. there are enough to bother so I am running a parse today and hope to have it up sometime later tonight.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

So I'm reply to this post, though the real trigger was the fact that some of you have been damned inconsiderate in your demands to a resolution to your problems. Some of you obviously can't grasp the fact that authors of these mods put alot of hardwork into them, and they don't HAVE to share them with us. I swear, I will never get over the fact that this game I enjoy so much is polluted with the infantile behavior of 12 year olds.

Anyways...the "Page Flipping" bug. As far as what addon's might be causing this, unlike some here...instead of coming here and demanding someone fix it for me as though I was paying them or they had some other reason to OWE me such service, I did some experimenting of my own. Painful and arduous as it was, I discovered that there are many "character/alt" info mods that actually "page" quest log info. The culprit in my case was Armory. Armory is an inventory mod that collects lots of data for toons across an account...INCLUDING QUEST INFO. As soon as I disabled this mod, LH and TomTom worked fine (minus the clickable coordinates...which lets face it isn't it easy enough to key them anyways?). So sometimes if you're not familiar with coding, you're gonna have to do the enable/disable mod trial and error to isolate the issue. LOOK at your mods, which of any are collecting quest info? Start with those...disable them all, and then one at a time...enable them until you see the problem replicate...THEN you know which mod is the cause.

Thanks to this, and all other mod authors...I'm addicted to mods as much as I am to WoW. I wish there were such things to ease the more mundane/painful/meaningless burdens of real life! Thanks for all your time...and more importantly your patience with those who don't seem to care/understand!

If you do figure out which one is causing it, please let the rest of us know and the author of it so it can be removed or fixed.

As stated though, it is not caused by LH for if you disable all addons but LH, the problem does goes away.

Foreign clients...

I guess you are right, I'm using the Spanish client... :-(

And in any case, thanks for the effort and answer!

Your are absolutely right. It was my first look to a .lua source ever and my way to restore at least some of the functionality for those who have to deal with the problem - e.g. me - , but it can and should not replace a real solution.

(all occurences of .2f changed to .0f)

That removed coordinate decimal accuracy, but also any (false) decimal separator, and therefore put the whole thing back to work.

I do suffer a similar problem linking the cords highlighted by LightHeaded into TomTom.

I do ask this because in LH the cord is lighlighted as [51.00, 64,00]. Although I didn't copy/paste I'm pretty sure the second decimal separator is a comma...

I do not have this problem and have the following installed:
Lightheaded
Doublewide
Doublewide trade skills
Tomtom
Cartographer (not Cartographer3 as the map coords/ quest help does not work with 3)
Ace3
BeJeweled
DBM (deadly boss mod)
Healbot
Omen
Recount

All my mods seem to work fine, not that I'm an expert on all but they all behave well. I do get an addon interface conflict sometimes, usually when in an instance or something else out of the norm when something is done but doesn't seem to affect any game play or addon at that moment.

Hope this helps,

KZXten

And you haven't been reading what I have been saying. I don't care if you think the ONLY addons that are "quest related" are the ones you have listed. What you are reporting is clearly the bug I've already talked about, where some addon (which may or may not ADVERTISE that it is doing so), scanning the quest log using the SelectQuestLogEntry() function. Don't believe me? Disable all other addons except those listed above and watch for yourself. I'll bet money that the page flipping stops. I've been dealing with this specific issue for over a year now, I'm quite familiar with it.

Easiest way to see, create a new character on a new server. This way your addons won't get messed up for your mains. Please do some troubleshooting, and report back.

This is only called by the default user interface in the quest log code (when you click a new quest, etc). Addons that are known to cause this issue are Armory and a few others.

Yes, I would like to see this, but not sure how soon I'll put it in.
