Convert PlayerBots tables to InnoDB (disable strict mode during
conversion)
# Pull Request
### This change converts the PlayerBots-related tables from MyISAM to
InnoDB.
**Why this is beneficial (even without fixing a specific bug):**
- Crash safety & data integrity: InnoDB is transactional and uses redo
logs; it provides automatic crash recovery, unlike MyISAM which can
require manual repairs after unclean shutdowns.
- Row-level locking: InnoDB reduces write contention and improves
concurrency under bot-heavy workloads compared to MyISAM’s table-level
locks.
- Consistent reads: InnoDB supports MVCC, enabling stable reads while
writes are happening—useful for mixed read/write access patterns.
- Operational robustness: Better behavior under backup/restore and
replication scenarios; fewer “table marked as crashed” style issues.
Strict mode handling:
The migration toggles innodb_strict_mode off only for the session to
prevent the conversion from failing on edge-case legacy definitions,
then re-enables it immediately after.

## How to Test the Changes
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change
Run the SQL script in the Playerbot database.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, bots, specific
configuration)
No
- Expected behavior and how to verify it
All tables should now have been converted from InnoDB to MyISAM.
This script should return nothing:
```
SELECT
t.TABLE_SCHEMA AS db_name,
t.TABLE_NAME AS table_name,
t.ENGINE AS storage_engine
FROM information_schema.TABLES t
WHERE t.TABLE_SCHEMA = DATABASE()
-- With phpMyAdmin, use the following and insert your database name, e.g., “acore_playerbots.”
-- WHERE t.TABLE_SCHEMA = 'YOUR_PLAYERBOT_DB'
AND t.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND t.ENGINE = 'MyISAM'
ORDER BY t.TABLE_NAME;
```

# Pull Request
This PR adds a new whisper command "pvp stats" that allows players to
ask a bot to report its current Arena Points, Honor Points, and Arena
Teams (name and team rating).
Reason:
Due to a client limitation in WoW 3.3.5a, the inspection window does not
display another player's Arena or Honor points , only team data.
This command provides an easy in-game way to check a bot’s PvP
currencies without modifying the client or core packets.
---
## Design Philosophy
Uses existing core getters (GetArenaPoints, GetHonorPoints,
GetArenaTeamId, etc.).
Fully integrated into the chat command system (ChatTriggerContext,
ChatActionContext).
Safe, no gameplay changes, purely informational.
No harcoded texts, use database local instead
---
## How to Test the Changes
/w BotName pvp stats
Bot reply:
[PVP] Arena Points: 302 | Honor Points: 11855
[PVP] 2v2: <The Fighters> (rating 2000)
[PVP] 3v3: <The Trio> (rating 573)

## Defaults & Configuration

- [x] No
- [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
If this introduces more advanced or AI-heavy logic:
- [x] Lightweight mode remains the default
- [ ] More complex behavior is optional and thereby configurable

- [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained

### Update :Thank you to @notOrrytrout from prompting me to work on
this. Its been a huge learning experience.
With @notOrrytrout I started working on enabling bot fishing with
master, but also on their own.
The first commit didnt crash, showing that it was possible to have a bot
cast when master does. Currently it compiles but crashes when you try to
fish with a bot in the group, whether the bot has fishing or not. It
makes me think that the check in FishingValues is broken somehow, but I
cant figure out how.

Stripped down version of #1818. No new features. Refactors
IsPossibleTarget in AttackersValue.cpp to a better style and makes sure
pets don't attack in prohibited zones.
Testing:
Confirmed that aggro pets no longer attack in PVP prohibited areas, but
still do outside them. Zim'Torga in Zul'Drak is a good example to test
this (ID 4323). Lookout for death knights with a Risen Ally
(uncontrolled and naturally aggro) now they respect PVP prohibition like
their master.
Note: If you manually teleport a bot that is in mid combat to a PVP
prohibited area, its aggro pet might still attack, because its master is
still in combat strategy. Otherwise the pet will not attack if its
master has switched to non-combat.

This commit adds a missing composite index on the `playerbots_random_bots` table
(`owner`, `bot`, `event`) to improve database performance during high playerbot
activity.
Adding this index significantly reduces the occurrence of deadlocks when multiple
threads access the random bots table simultaneously.
The change is 100% backward-compatible and does not affect existing data or
functionality.
Update will allow any adequately leveled bot to queue for all random and specific TBC dungeons. Normal and Heroic modes that require attunement or keys will be accessible by bots.
InitReputation: Level 70+ Bots will receive Honored rank for all the required factions needed for Heroic keys to function. I've placed the calls to InitRep before InitMounts, I feel we can do something with that in the future. Randomised rep values might allow bots to obtain other mounts?
InitKeyring: All bots receive all non-rep required keys (Shattered Halls Key, Shadow Labyrinth Key, Key to the Arcatraz), and bots with the required rep (Honored) get the other keys.
InitAttunementQuests: Level 60+ bots complete the Caverns of Time and Magister's Terrace attunement quests.
Updated acore_playerbots SQL; playerbots_dungeon_suggestion_definition; max_level increased to 73 (from 70) for all TBC Heroics and Magister's Terrace nomal. Allows more level appropriate bots to join.
* German full translation
With the power of ChatGPT i translated all chatter texts into German locale.
Insterted the German texts into text_loc3.
Everything else should stay unchenged.
I've updated ai_playerbot_texts.sql and added over 900+ new lines for the bots to use in-game, including a mix of humorous and standard lines, along with a nod to the classic Barrens chat. This update is designed to make the game feel more immersive by providing the Playerbots Module with more dialogue options as you play.
