Apollo API

• New LUA event when a free for all item is looted which is bind on pickup. LootBindcheck( tLootDetail = { nLootId = #, itemDrop = item } ).
• New Confirm Button Type "LootItem" which will fire the event LootItemRequested( nLootId = #) when clicked.
• New LUA event when an item is looted which the player had knowledge of (useful in concert with LootBindcheck LUA event): LootTakenBy( tDetail = { nLootId = #, itemLoot = item, unitLooter = unit } ).
• Fixed issue where check box boxes are centered but the flyby and click hit rect were not centered.
• Unit:GetRewardInfo for challenges now returns a bool if the challenge is currently activated or not.

• Added a new enum to the Unit library "CodeEnumArchetype" which can be used in conjunction with unit:GetArchetype() to identify units with the Iconic, Townie, EliteShields, or EliteNoShields archetypes.

• Generic map node choosing is now done via an ActionConfirmButton.

The nPowerCoreId is required to properly calculate the min and max stats allowed in the associated schematic.
• Due to the large update to the Rune Slot system, there has been several changes to the CraftingLib, Item, and MarketplaceLib APIs:
  • Renamed: CraftingLib.GetValidGlyphableItems() was renamed to CraftingLib.GetItemsWithRuneSlots() - CraftingLib.GetValidGlyphItems() was renamed to CraftingLib.GetValidRuneItems() - CraftingLib.UnlockSigil() was renamed to CraftingLib.UnlockRuneSlot() - CraftingLib.ClearSigil() was renamed to CraftingLib.ClearRuneSlot() - CraftingLib.InstallGlyphs() was renamed to CraftingLib.InstallRuneIntoSlot() - CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.GlyphExists was renamed to CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.RuneExists - CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.MissingGlyph was renamed to CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.MissingRune - CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.DuplicateGlyph was renamed to CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.DuplicateRune - CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.GlyphSlotLimit was renamed to CraftingLib.CodeEnumTradeskillResult.RuneSlotLimit - Item:IsGlyphData() was renamed to Item:IsRuneData() - Item:GetSigils() was renamed to Item:GetRuneSlots() - Item:GetRuneSlots(): variable names that used to reference "Sigils" have been changed to "RuneSlots" and "Glyphs" have been changed to "Runes" - Item:GetGlyphInfo() was renamed to Item:GetRuneInfo() - Item:GetDetailedInfo() changed the tSigils variable to tRunes and arSigils to arRuneSlots - Item.CodeEnumSigilType enum was renamed to Item.CodeEnumRuneType -MarketplaceLib.ItemAuctionFilterData.ItemAuctionFilterGlyphSlot enum was renamed to MarketplaceLib.ItemAuctionFilterData.ItemAuctionFilterRuneSlot. - Drag and Drop "type" "DDGlyphItem" changed to "DDRuneItem".
  • Updated Functionality: CraftingLib.GetCurrentCraft(): Now returns information on unfinished rune slot rerolls. This information includes the item being modified, the rune slot's index, and the rune slot types that the player can choose to change it to. - CraftingLib.CompleteCraft(): Now returns a boolean that states whether the crafting attempt was successfully sent to the server or not. - CraftingLib.GetEngravingInfo(): This function returns two new tables with information on adding and rerolling rune slots on an item. New API Functions - CraftingLib.CompleteRerollRuneType( eSlotTypeSelected ): Completes a rune slot reroll attempt. This function is called in place of CraftingLib.CompleteCraft(), with eSlotTypeSelected being the Item.CodeEnumRuneType that the player chose as the new type for the slot. It returns a boolean that states whether the attempt was successfully sent to the server or not. - CraftingLib.AddRuneSlot( itemSelected): Attempts to add a rune slot to an item. - CraftingLib.RerollRuneSlot( itemSelected, nSlotIndex ) Attempts to start the reroll process for the item's rune slot found at nSlotIndex.
