API Changes by Category

C_LFGList

Some functions may behave slightly different to their existing Retail counterparts with regards to parameters, return values, or structure layouts.

The LfgEntryData and LfgSearchResultData structures have been altered to account for the BCC group finder allowing a group to be listed for multiple activities at once. As such, the activityID field on both of these structures has been replaced by activityIDs, which is a table of up-to three activity IDs as numbers. In addition, many other fields present on these structures may not be present on the BCC client.

C_VoiceChat

Global APIs

Enum Changes

A large number of enums from patch 9.1 have added to the client, however most are irrelevant for the gameplay features present in BCC. The following list is shortened to only include relevant enums.

The following enumerations have been converted from LE_* style global constants to the new Enum.* format, and names have undergone casing changes.

  • Moved: LE_ITEM_ARMOR_* → Enum.ItemArmorSubclass.*
  • Moved: LE_ITEM_CLASS_* → Enum.ItemClass.*
  • Moved: LE_ITEM_GEM_* → Enum.ItemGemSubclass.*
  • Moved: LE_ITEM_MISCELLANEOUS_* → Enum.ItemMiscellaneousSubclass.*
