Overhaul party buff/greater blessing system (#2358)
## Pull Request Description
These changes I originally made for myself because as a person who
really likes to raid with bots, I felt like the current group buff
system is fundamentally broken, and I needed something more consistent
and optimal. I debated a lot whether to PR this because it's such an
extensive overhaul that was almost entirely reliant on AI, and I know
that wishmaster still has a PR open regarding the greater blessings. I
decided to after a couple of conversations so at least people can look
at it and see if it's something that they want.
The tl;dr version is that this PR overhauls buff handling in two related
areas:
1. It adds a dedicated greater blessing assignment system.
2. It generalizes party/raid reagent-buff handling for Paladins, Druids,
Mages, and Priests.
Under this PR, greater blessings are determined by assignments for the
current group, and those assignments are determined based on:
1. a hardcoded priority list of blessings for each spec;
2. the number of Paladins in the group; and
3. whether any Paladins have talents for Blessing of Sanctuary, Improved
Blessing of Might, or Improved Blessing of Wisdom.
Assignment determinations are cached in a value to avoid constant
reevaluation.
The exact priority list is:
- All casters: Kings, Wisdom, Sanctuary, Might
- Physical-only DPS (Rogues, Warriors, DKs): Might, Kings, Sanctuary,
N/A
- Hybrid DPS (Enh, Ret, Hunters, Cats): Might, Kings, Wisdom, Sanctuary
- Druid tanks: Kings, Might, Sanctuary, Wisdom
- Warrior and DK tanks: Kings, Might, Sanctuary, N/A
- Paladin tank: Sanctuary, Might, Wisdom, Kings
Note that Sanctuary is preferred over Kings for Paladin tanks because of
the mana regen component but deprioritized for other tanks because Kings
provides Agility. The extra 3% damage reduction from Sanctuary does not
stack with Disc Priests’ Renewed Hope, which will have 100% uptime.
For group buffs, logic is centralized so that class triggers use the
same gating and upgrade rules for Gift of the Wild, Arcane Brilliance,
Prayer of Fortitude, Prayer of Spirit, and Prayer of Shadow Protection.
Also, Shadow Protection is now a default strategy for Priests (rshadow,
which existed before but wasn’t added by default).
I’ve added a config setting for the greater blessing system and adjusted
the current config setting for group buffs. In each case, you can pick
whether to disable the feature entirely, use it in all groups, or use it
only in raid groups. The default is raid only for greater blessings and
all groups for group buffs. Note that for group buffs, even if the
config is enabled, they will be used only if at least 3 group/raid
members on the same map are missing the buff family. This is mainly to
stop group buff spamming during wipe recovery as bots are revived
one-by-one.
I renamed the Paladin buff strategies to align them with the actual
blessing names:
- `bhealth` -> `bsanc`
- `bmana` -> `bwisdom`
- `bdps` -> `bmight`
- `bstats` -> `bkings`
This is an intentional breaking change for saved strategy strings. Bots
will need a one-time strategy reset after update.
I removed bots telling you when they are out of reagents for greater
blessings. If people like that though, I can add it back.
A small cleanup is also included in TankPaladinStrategy: Holy Shield was
subject to three overlapping health triggers with the same priority; I
removed the two lower health thresholds which have no purpose.
## Feature Evaluation
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
I’m going to let the AI answer this one.
> The minimum logic is:
> - a shared config-gated check for whether group/raid buff variants are
allowed
> - a shared way to treat single and group variants as equivalent aura
families
> - a shared upgrade path from single-target buff to group buff when the
group variant is appropriate
> - a Paladin-only cached assignment model that decides which blessing
family each Paladin should cover for the current group
> - trigger/action wiring that only attempts casts when a group member
is actually missing the assigned buff
>
> This avoids scattering separate per-class heuristics across many
triggers and actions.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
Processing cost should be minimal but non-zero. The general party buff
changes are limited to existing buff trigger paths and mostly replace
duplicated checks with shared helpers. They do not add expensive default
per-tick behavior outside those existing trigger evaluations.
The Paladin greater blessing logic does add extra decision-making, but
it is limited to Paladins, gated by config and group eligibility,
subject to a delayed trigger evaluation of only once per 4s, and cached
per group assignment set instead of recomputing the full assignment
model on every action attempt.
This PR also increases the throttle duration for group buff triggers to
limit performance impact; I’m open to adjustments to these durations:
- Mark of the Wild triggers were increased from 4s to 8s
- Arcane Intellect triggers were increased from 4s to 8s
- Priest buff triggers were increased to 8s (previously, Fortitude was
6s, Spirit was 4s, and Shadow Protection had no throttle)
- There is now a 5s delay on buffing (greater blessings and group buffs)
after bots log in—I was getting bots spamming buffs as soon as they
logged in even when it was not necessary
I’ve tested with pmon, and the impact is minimal—these are very cheap
triggers even compared to standard bot rotational ability triggers.
## How to Test the Changes
1. Try different config settings to confirm that they work to
enable/disable greater blessings/group buffs in the configured scenarios
2. For greater blessing changes:
- test with one Paladin in a party/raid
- test with multiple Paladins in a party/raid
- confirm the Paladins divide blessing coverage instead of repeatedly
overwriting each other
- include at least one Paladin with Improved Blessing of Might and make
sure it casts Might over Paladins without the talent; check the same
with a Paladin with Improved Blessing of Wisdom
- do not include a Paladin that knows Sanctuary, confirm any Paladin
tank receives Kings instead (you’ll need a low-level Paladin for this
since Sanctuary is a prot talent)
- confirm bots cast blessings only when a member is actually missing the
relevant blessing family
- confirm there is a 5s delay on buffing when bots log in
3. For group buff changes:
- confirm there is a 5s delay on buffing when bots log in
- confirm that single buffs are used when there aren’t at least three
unbuffed members in the same map, even if group buffs are enabled in the
config
4. For all buffs, test with reagents missing to confirm fallback to
single-target buffs and single blessings
5. Confirm the Paladin buff strategy names are changed after resetting

## Impact Assessment
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [ ] No, not at all
- - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
Discussed above in processing costs.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain why**)
Yes—that is the purpose of this PR, to change default buffing behavior.
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
Yes, but I think it’s inevitable to add complexity to get greater
blessings to function consistently, given the challenges brought by
their mechanic of applying across each class.
## AI Assistance
Was AI assistance used while working on this change?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
I used GPT-5.4 extensively for this overhaul. It’s much more complicated
than I could handle on my own. I’ve done a lot of testing and have
reviewed the code and provided plenty of revisions, but I cannot say I
can perfectly explain each addition and how it works, not even close.
## Final Checklist
- - [x] Stability is not compromised.
- - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable.
- - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained.
- - [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated.
- - [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands).

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR implements strategies for all bosses in the Black Temple. As
always, I’ve written these with the intent that all bosses be
completable with appropriate gear and 50/50 IP nerfs and boss HP
returned to TBC levels. Illidan is difficult at those parameters, but he
is certainly doable. You just won’t be able to roll a bunch of meme
specs or shitty compositions. Probably.
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
My goal with raid strategies is the same—I’m not just trying to make
encounters doable but am trying to allow people to experience them in a
way that feels like they are part of a coordinated raid of real players.
To me, being able to achieve that is the minimum, and that requires
getting bots to respond to all major mechanics, even if they can
technically just be powered through.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific

-->
Run the Black Temple raid and see if my descriptions of strategies in
the next post check out.
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [ ] No, not at all
- - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
The performance impact exists only when the “blacktemple” strategy is
on. I’ve tested with pmon and done my best to properly gate checks to
limit the performance impact even during the instance and boss
encounters.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain why**)
The triggers and multipliers will be evaluated as long as the
"blacktemple" strategy is active, and it will be applied automatically
in the instance (and removed automatically when changing maps outside
the instance).
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

Flying mount fixes and self-bot (#2351)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR does a few things.
1. Enable Selfbots to mount up. Because they have masters, but are their
own masters, they would never mount up because their master never
mounted.
2. Fix flag state handling after processing the aura change.
3. Add in the Dismount packet handler. This is intended to implement
fall animations and have bots touch the ground when dismounting instead
of floating off the ground. (It was cleared anyway after the first move,
but this should make it more seamless.)

As before, I have designed these all to work with IP with 50% damage and healing. I also did not merge the 1.88x buff to Vanilla & TBC healing items that IP recently implemented. The next post will outline all implemented strategies. Note: Set to draft for now as I may tweak Archimonde some more, but I generally consider Hyjal complete, subject to comments. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a maintainer may ask you for them later. --> <!-- Please answer the following: --> - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots. As with previous strategies, I've worked within the existing context of actions/multipliers/triggers. This strategy does implement new spell hooks, but I don't think that is problematic for performance, and I'll explain why they are necessary in the next post. ## How to Test the Changes <!-- - Step-by-step instructions to test the change. - Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific configuration). - Expected behavior and how to verify it. --> ## Impact Assessment <!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon tick) can help you here. --> - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - - [ ] No, not at all - - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) There are many new triggers, multipliers, and actions, but they will be evaluated only if the "hyjal" strategy is added. Additionally, I've attempted to order and implement checks in a manner to limit performance impact and have tested with .pmon active. In general, I consider performance to be highly important so am always working on ways to limit the impact (e.g., trying to use the most targeted grid searches available when needed). - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) Only in the Hyjal instance, for obvious reasons. - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) New decision branches apply only in the new Hyjal instance, for obvious reasons. Maintenance complexity should not be increased as code outside of the new Hyjal files is not impacted, except to the extent needed to register and implement the strategy in the same manner as all existing strategies. Exception: As noted, I did add new spell hooks, but if they become problematic, they can easily be removed. ## Messages to Translate <!-- Bot messages have to be translatable, but you don't need to do the translations here. You only need to make sure the message is in a translatable format, and list in the table the message_key and the default English message.

I do not use AI for brainstorming or developing strategies, only for implementation and review of code.

Clean up unnecessary includes in raid strategy and trigger-context headers (#2347)

-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR trims redundant includes from raid Strategy.h and
TriggerContext.h headers. I noticed a consistent pattern of including
Multiplier.h when it was not needed in Strategy.h and including
AiObjectContext.h in TriggerContext.h when only the narrower
NamedObjectContext.h is needed (both of which I was guilty of also).
Since we make new raid strategies based on existing raid strategies, I
figure let's go for the low-hanging fruit and just fix this so we stop
doing it wrong going forward.
While I was at it, I removed other unnecessary includes but in those two
files only (across dungeon and raid strategies).
Edit: Made a couple of other minor code cleanups I'd been intending to
do. Notably, we shouldn't be including a .cpp in PlayerbotAI.cpp.

Feat: Reintroduce timed logouts (#2289)
<!-- Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that you... 1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master. 2. Read the guidelines below before submitting. 3. Don't delete parts of this template. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism. Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small increases in logic complexity scale poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize a stable system over a smarter one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the goal, not human simulation. Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be opt-in. Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles. --> ## Pull Request Description <!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed --> Timed logouts was enabled in the past, but was disabled due to a misdiagnosis on an issue that caused crashes. That issue was better understood and resolved in #2131. Now timed logouts are reintroduced for alt-bots and addclass-bots. As before, random-bots do not and should not accept logout commands. Note that if the bot's master has instant logout privileges according to `InstantLogout` in worldserver.conf, so would the bot. If not, neither would the bot. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question.

If not in a resting place, neither you nor the bot should be able to instant logout according to the security setting. 6. After the bot logout, log it back in and whisper "logout" again, but right after whisper "cancel logout" or "logout cancel". That should cancel the logout. 7. Have your account gmlevel set to 3 in acore_auth>account_access. (when you change your gmlevel, you need to log out of your account for the change to take effect) 8. You are now at admin gmlevel, and with `InstantLogout = 3`, you and any bot under your command should be able to logout instantly. ## Impact Assessment <!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon tick) can help you here. --> - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - - [x] No, not at all - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) Bots now trigger instant or timed logout under the same circumstances that would apply to their master. - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) Checks if bot is eligible for instant logout or not.

Modify UpdateAI to Allow Future Methods to Interrupt Bot Spells (#2295)
Note: Resubmitted because the prior PR had master for the source
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR adds to PlayerbotAI::UpdateAI a boolean variable,
pendingCastInterrupt, and a public function, RequestCastInterrupt(),
that toggles the variable and would then call InterruptSpells in
UpdateAI. This lets an external script hook into UpdateAI to interrupt a
spell that is in the process of being cast. This should allow
raid/dungeon strategies to actually interrupt spells, such as for
avoiding hazards, as you cannot do so by calling InterruptSpells() or
Reset() or anything else with a raid/dungeon action method.
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
There is no processing cost from this PR itself since it just adds a
simple boolean check that will always return false unless other methods
are implemented to call RequestCastInterrupt().
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
This PR doesn't do anything by itself, but confirmation of no
performance impact can be tested by just playing with the PR merged. I
tested this by introducing scripts that called RequestCastInterrupt()
for Archimonde (included in the Hyjal PR now) and for Auchenai Crypts
(built on the strategy from flashtate's PR just for test purposes), and
spells were interrupted as intended.
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [x] No, not at all
- - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
I'm not sure if it counts as "yes" here, but this PR opens up the
ability for scripts to be added that would add real checks to UpdateAI.
The impact of such scripts will depend on how they are implemented,
however. It is possible (and intended) for the external calls to be
highly limited in scope (e.g., only bots in a particular circumstance in
a particular boss fight).
## AI Assistance
<!--
AI assistance is allowed, but all submitted code must be fully
understood, reviewed, and owned by the contributor.
We expect contributors to be honest about what they do and do not

<!--
If yes, please specify:
- Purpose of usage (e.g. brainstorming, refactoring, documentation, code
generation).
- Which parts of the change were influenced or generated, and whether it
was thoroughly reviewed.
-->
Claude Sonnet 4.6 was used to brainstorm different possibilities to
allow external scripts to interrupt spells. I considered different
options before settling on this one due to it not requiring core
changes, being easily usable in boss strategies, and not having any
performance impact on its own.

Implement Auchenai Crypts Strategies and TBC Dungeon Contexts (#2229)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the

Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR aims to add bot strategies to the Auchenai Crypts dungeon,
specifically for the boss Shirrak the Dead Watcher, as his focus fire
mechanic is really annoying to deal with.
Additionally I have added TbcDungeonActionContext.h and
TbcDungeonTriggerContext.h for future reference as I add more strategies
to TBC dungeons that need it.
A HUGE thank you to @brighton-chi for all his help. This has been a fun
learning experience!
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
Trigger: A 20 yard radius grid search is performed to locate the focus
fire trigger NPC
Action: Bots will flee from the trigger NPC using MoveAway with a 5 yard
safety buffer
Multiplier: A for loop that prevents bots from running back into the
focus fire mechanic while its active.
Tanking: Tanks have a set coordinate to drag the boss to for the
duration of the fight.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
Minimal, these scripts only execute when Shirrak has been engaged.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
Go into Auchenai Crypts (Normal or Heroic) and engage Shirrak the Dead
Watcher
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- - [ ] No, not at all
- - [X] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
This logic is only applied to Auchenai Crypts and activates during
Shirrak's encounter.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [ ] No
- - [X] Yes (**explain why**)
Behavior only applies when in the instance and when engaged with
Shirrak.
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- - [ ] No
- - [X] Yes (**explain below**)
New dungeon contexts were added (TbcDungeonActionContext and
TbcDungeonTriggerContext) to provide a clean and dedicated structure for
future TBC dungeon strategies that will be developed. This was done to
be in alignment with the existing WOTLK contexts that already exist.
## Messages to Translate
<!--
Bot messages have to be translatable, but you don't need to do the
translations here. You only need to make sure
the message is in a translatable format, and list in the table the
message_key and the default English message.

## Pull Request Description
1. Corrected the init activity times; Since ive changed (previous) the
calc from seconds to ms to increase more scope for the offset execute
jitter (removed timer(), 0 is correct way todo now with MS) (also broke
self-bot)
2. Global loop checks in activityAllowed instead vs multiple loops, this
function is called very often so we better optimize it.
3 Fixed the broken 'HasManyPlayersNearby' function and then deleted it
:O To fragile due various edge cases and rather expensive call, besides
lets activeAlone deal with this situation which is way more controlled.
4. Some additional small fixes that where unnoticed overtime.
5. Added/Changed inline comments which makes more sense and explains
what it does.
6. Removed dead code freeze bots during init.
7. self-bot fix

In a positive way, bots in your zone and 150 radius will always be
active, meanwhile other bots will be active 40%
of the time with intervals for 60 seconds per bot. With much lower
latencies. All configurable without say.
40% and 60 seconds for more balance for those who seek bots create world
feel more natural and live vs bots leveling without killing the server
performance. Why not 50 due activity of bots itself 40% will result more
into 45-50% like behavior and 50% prolly more 55%-60%. This it not
something we want incorporate when calculating the value since it
depends on various config and situation. But 40% is good base with
default config.

Implement Zul'Aman Strategies (#2186)
# Pull Request _Implement strategies for all bosses in Zul'Aman. See next post for overview of implemented strategies._ --- ## Design Philosophy We prioritize **stability, performance, and predictability** over behavioral realism. Complex player-mimicking logic is intentionally limited due to its negative impact on scalability, maintainability, and long-term robustness. Excessive processing overhead can lead to server hiccups, increased CPU usage, and degraded performance for all participants. Because every action and decision tree is executed **per bot and per trigger**, even small increases in logic complexity can scale poorly and negatively affect both players and world (random) bots. Bots are not expected to behave perfectly, and perfect simulation of human decision-making is not a project goal. Increased behavioral realism often introduces disproportionate cost, reduced predictability, and significantly higher maintenance overhead. Every additional branch of logic increases long-term responsibility. All decision paths must be tested, validated, and maintained continuously as the system evolves. If advanced or AI-intensive behavior is introduced, the **default configuration must remain the lightweight decision model**. More complex behavior should only be available as an **explicit opt-in option**, clearly documented as having a measurable performance cost. Principles: - **Stability before intelligence** A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one. - **Performance is a shared resource** Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots. - **Simple logic scales better than smart logic** Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions. - **Complexity must justify itself** If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist. - **Defaults must be cheap** Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated. - **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect** The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation. Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those principles. --- ## Feature Evaluation Please answer the following: - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior? - Describe the **cheapest implementation** that produces an acceptable result? - Describe the **runtime cost** when this logic executes across many bots? _I have attempted to order checks while taking into account cost and likelihood and have opted to find lower-cost methods where possible. I have also not gone as in depth as I have with other strategies, partially because it is not necessary to complete encounters but also to try to limit the performance impact. From my observation, including with pmon, none of the methods should be overly taxing._ --- ## How to Test the Changes - Step-by-step instructions to test the change - Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, bots, specific configuration) - Expected behavior and how to verify it _Run Zul'Aman.

There is currently a PR open to also remove instance strategies when leaving the map to get rid of the residual performance impact._ Could this logic scale poorly under load? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) _Technically yes, but I think it is unlikely to have an appreciable difference unless there are many groups running the instance at the same time on a large server._ ## Defaults & Configuration Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) _Only in the instance. It is a necessary trade-off to consider with raid strategies that I always keep in mind (degree of automation vs. player choice)._ If this introduces more advanced or AI-heavy logic: - - [x] Lightweight mode remains the default - - [ ] More complex behavior is optional and thereby configurable _Not exactly sure how to address this question in the context of this PR, but there aren't any techniques or methods for this strategy that I have not tried before (or something very similar)._ ## AI Assistance Was AI assistance (e.g. ChatGPT or similar tools) used while working on this change? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) If yes, please specify: - AI tool or model used (e.g. ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, etc.) - Purpose of usage (e.g. brainstorming, refactoring, documentation, code generation) - Which parts of the change were influenced or generated - Whether the result was manually reviewed and adapted _Gemini and GPT for some questions about the codebase and C++ and assistance with drafting a few things like containers that I find more tedious to do myself._ AI assistance is allowed, but all submitted code must be fully understood, reviewed, and owned by the contributor.

Fix: Logout refactor and RNDbot logout error handling (#2131)
# Pull Request * Improper crash fix by 297f11d3e59f52a29f68188245e6b786c9fa838e. That fix worked not because setting `logout = true` stops the server from crashing, but because it stopped the following `if (!logout)` block from executing at all. In that block `delete target;` was the actual cause of the crashing and this was recreated in testing. `botWorldSessionPtr->LogoutPlayer(true);` already deleted target internally, then comes `delete target;` to delete already freed memory and the whole thing crashes. * Players had the ability to logout anyone's alt/addClass bots. Now there's a check to make sure command is from master. * When commanded to logout, RNDbots in player's party used to reply with "I'm logging out!", but they don't, because they shouldn't, because they are not alt/adClass bots. Now they say "You can't command me to logout!" * Added early exits for the "logout cancel" block, then I remembered bots were made to always instantly logout because of past issues with timed logout. Need to review whether or not we should re-implement timed logout, or if it's not worth it and its dead code removed with instant logout remaining the only option. --- ## Design Philosophy We prioritize **stability, performance, and predictability** over behavioral realism. Complex player-mimicking logic is intentionally limited due to its negative impact on scalability, maintainability, and long-term robustness. Excessive processing overhead can lead to server hiccups, increased CPU usage, and degraded performance for all participants.

This PR removes more code than it adds, and makes sure that exits happen as early as possible. It has no effect on processing power and makes the code slightly more maintainable. --- ## How to Test the Changes 1. Whisper `logout` to any bot whose master is not you. The bot can be RND/alt/addClass. The bot may have someone else as a master or may not have a master at all. The bot may be part of a party or not. Regardless, you are not its master. It should tell you "You are not my master!". Two players or two instances of the client from two different accounts are needed for this test, in order for Player A to command a bot to logout, when the bot's master is Player B. 2. Invite an RND bot to your party. As along as it's in your party, you are it's master, but RND bots cannot be logged out through chat commands. If you whisper `logout` to it, it should say "You can't command me to logout!", and not logout. 3. Whisper to an alt/addClass bot `logout`. The bot can be in your party or could've been uninvited. All that matters is that you are its master. It should reply "I'm logging out!" ## Complexity & Impact Does this change add new decision branches? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain below**) Does this change increase per-bot or per-tick processing? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**describe and justify impact**) Could this logic scale poorly under load? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) --- ## Defaults & Configuration Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) In that it fixes wrong behavior. If this introduces more advanced or AI-heavy logic: - - [x] Lightweight mode remains the default - - [x] More complex behavior is optional and thereby configurable --- ## AI Assistance Was AI assistance (e.g. ChatGPT or similar tools) used while working on this change? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) Used Claude for code review, and translations. If yes, please specify: - AI tool or model used (e.g. ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, etc.) - Purpose of usage (e.g. brainstorming, refactoring, documentation, code generation) - Which parts of the change were influenced or generated - Whether the result was manually reviewed and adapted AI assistance is allowed, but all submitted code must be fully understood, reviewed, and owned by the contributor.

Remove Vertical Speed Limit from Knockback Packet (#2223)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.
Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.
Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->
## Pull Request Description
This PR removes the break from SMSG_MOVE_KNOCK_BACK for knockbacks with
vertical speed of >35.0f. This break is the reason for many vertical
knockbacks having no effect on bots, including Shade of Aran's Flame
Wreath, High Astromancer Solarian's Wrath of the Astromancer, and
Archimonde's Air Burst. There is a comment that indicates that the limit
was originally added due to bots getting stuck from high-speed vertical
knockbacks. I have not observed this at all and have been playing with
this break removed for several months.
## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->
<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
I honestly cannot say if there is impact on processing cost because I
have no understanding of packets. I would be surprised if there are any
performance issues since knockback packets are ordinarily getting sent
all the time, it's just a small number of moves that get skipped due to
this break.
## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
1. .go creature name High Astromancer Solarian
2. Start combat and wait until a bot gets hit with Wrath of the
Astromancer
3. Wait for the aura to expire and watch the bot fly to Mars and fall
back down
## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
- [ ] No, not at all
- [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
- [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)
I do not know for sure, but as noted above, I would be surprised if
there was any notable performance impact.
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- [x] No
- [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
- [x] No
- [ ] Yes (**explain below**)
## Messages to Translate
<!--
Bot messages have to be translatable, but you don't need to do the
translations here. You only need to make sure
the message is in a translatable format, and list in the table the
message_key and the default English message.
Search for GetBotTextOrDefault in the codebase for examples.
-->
Does this change add bot messages to translate?
- [x] No
- [ ] Yes (**list messages in the table**)
| Message key | Default message |
| --------------- | ------------------ |

## AI Assistance
<!--
AI assistance is allowed, but all submitted code must be fully
understood, reviewed, and owned by the contributor.
We expect contributors to be honest about what they do and do not
understand.
-->
Was AI assistance used while working on this change?
- [x] No
- [ ] Yes (**explain below**)
<!--
If yes, please specify:
- Purpose of usage (e.g. brainstorming, refactoring, documentation, code
generation).
- Which parts of the change were influenced or generated, and whether it
was thoroughly reviewed.
-->
## Final Checklist
- [x] Stability is not compromised.
- [ ] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable. <- I
can't say for sure, but I've not had any issues. I would appreciate
getting thoughts from somebody knowledgeable about packet use, however.
- [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained.

Feat. Enable multi node flying, and refactor into travel manager (#2156)
# Pull Request Feature - Enable multi node flying for bots - Bots currently only do node to node flying. This PR makes it so they can connect multiple noted. -- This is enabled by sending a vector containing the node sequence instead of a single destination node -- To minimize the run-time cost of searching for available nodes and connection, a cache of all possible connections is prepared at start up using a BFS search algorithm. Refactor - Move all world destination logic (cities, banks, inns) to existing Travel manager - Eliminate flightmastercache and integrate to new manager - replace SQLs calls with in-memory data search by core - Add in new map that stores creature areas by template. Clean up - Move other rpg files to related folder. (Next steps) The selection for where bots fly to should be smarter than it is. Instead of trying to determine where a bot can go, it should first decide where it should go, and then identify the correct way to get there. --- ## Feature Evaluation Please answer the following: - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior? - Describe the **cheapest implementation** that produces an acceptable result? - Describe the **runtime cost** when this logic executes across many bots? --- ## How to Test the Changes - Step-by-step instructions to test the change - Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, bots, specific configuration) - Expected behavior and how to verify it ## Complexity & Impact Does this change add new decision branches? - - [x[ No - - [ ] Yes (**explain below**) Does this change increase per-bot or per-tick processing? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**describe and justify impact**) Could this logic scale poorly under load? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) The call itself is fairly infrequent, and although now there are a greater number of paths available for the bots, I dont think it would be significant. ## Defaults & Configuration Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] 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 --- ## AI Assistance Was AI assistance (e.g. ChatGPT or similar tools) used while working on this change? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) Gemini first suggested the use of a BFS algorithm. This was rewritten by me to actually work as intended. Verification by additional logging not present in final code. Claude code converted the SQL filtering to the atrocious if statements found in PrepareDestinationCache, but after verifying them it works. If there are better ways to do this Im open to it. --- ## Final Checklist - - [x] Stability is not compromised - - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable - - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained - - [x] Documentation updated if needed --- ## Notes for Reviewers Anything that significantly improves realism at the cost of stability or performance should be carefully discussed before merging. |

fix: ByteBufferException error (opcode: 149) (#2206)
Fixes #2204 ## Pull Request Description Fixes an opcode 149 ByteBufferException when Questie-335 (or other addons that send addon messages) is used in a party with Playerbots. The issue was caused by addon-language packets reaching parsing logic they should not have reached. This change adjusts the early return for `LANG_ADDON` packets before further handling. ## Feature Evaluation - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. - Moved the early return for `LANG_ADDON` packets in the outgoing packet handler. - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots. - Negligible. It's a simple conditional check with an early return. ## How to Test the Changes 1. Install and enable Questie-335. 2. Invite at least 1 Playerbot to a party. 3. Accept a quest, abandon a quest, or progress a quest objective such as kill credit or looting a quest item. 4. Verify the worldserver no longer logs opcode 149 ByteBufferException errors. ## Impact Assessment - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - [x] No, not at all - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - [x] No - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - [x] No - [ ] Yes (**explain below**) ## Messages to Translate Does this change add bot messages to translate? - [x] No - [ ] Yes (**list messages in the table**) | Message key | Default message | | --------------- | ------------------ | | | | | | | ## AI Assistance Was AI assistance used while working on this change? - [x] No - [ ] Yes (**explain below**) ## Final Checklist - [x] Stability is not compromised. - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable. - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained. - [ ] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands). ## Notes for Reviewers This is a small fix intended only to prevent addon language packets from reaching incompatible packet parsing logic. --------- Co-authored-by: Keleborn <22352763+Celandriel@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bash <hermensb@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Revision <tkn963@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: kadeshar <kadeshar@gmail.com> |

Remove instance strategies when leaving map (#2163)
# Pull Request Currently, dungeon and raid strategies, which are automatically added when entering the applicable instance (unless disabled in config), will persist until manually removed or until a different instance strategy is applied. This is pretty bad because then bots will continue to check triggers for the instance when outside of it. This has been discussed for a long time, but after finally considering it today, I think the solution is pretty simple because the existing framework is already there. PlayerbotAI::ApplyInstanceStrategies() is the function for enabling strategies when entering an instance, and it's called whenever a bot changes maps. So all we need to do is to remove all instance strategies first when calling it. I tested these changes, and they worked for me, but obviously others should test too, and especially the code should be examined since that is not my area of expertise. --- ## Design Philosophy We prioritize **stability, performance, and predictability** over behavioral realism. Complex player-mimicking logic is intentionally limited due to its negative impact on scalability, maintainability, and long-term robustness. Excessive processing overhead can lead to server hiccups, increased CPU usage, and degraded performance for all participants. Because every action and decision tree is executed **per bot and per trigger**, even small increases in logic complexity can scale poorly and negatively affect both players and world (random) bots.

Restore Naxx Strategies without core dependencies (#2031)
### Summary This PR restores the Naxxramas raid strategies that were removed in commit 686fe513b25bbb20ccfcc89f08ee8c4b498a263e . The reintroduced logic is core‑friendly (no AzerothCore script headers or internal boss AI/EventMap dependencies), and the Naxxramas actions have been refactored into per‑boss files for better maintainability. ### Motivation The previous removal was meant to avoid core modifications and unblock upstreaming. This PR brings the strategies back while adhering to that requirement, using only observable state and mod‑playerbots helpers. ### What’s included - Re‑enabled the Naxxramas strategies previously removed. - Replaced core script header dependencies with observable checks (auras, casts, unit flags, flight state, etc.). - Split the Naxxramas action logic into per‑boss source files to avoid a “god file” and ease future maintenance. - Minor, non‑intrusive behavior improvements aligned with existing helpers. ### Future work Some strategies may still require refinement or more advanced handling later. This PR focuses on restoring the baseline logic without core dependencies, while keeping changes minimal and safe. **Any contributions are welcome to further improve and fine‑tune the Naxxramas strategies.** ### Testing Tested in some Naxx boxx. No server crash and boss killed :D Note: I'll make another PR with revised scripts when this one are merged --------- Co-authored-by: Keleborn <22352763+Celandriel@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bash <hermensb@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Revision <tkn963@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: kadeshar <kadeshar@gmail.com> |

Implement Tempest Keep: The Eye Strategies (#1943)
Edit: Descriptions of methods are out of date right now. To be updated. This one comes with the same caveats as SSC about requiring ownership from somebody with C++ knowledge, except I think the matter is even more acute here because these strategies incorporate a novel approach proposed by Timberpoes. By redeclaring the entire bossai class for Kael’thas, it was possible to add new member functions to the class in order to access its private member variables. This allows bots to have visibility into boss mechanics beyond what they could do with ordinary techniques and is similar in approach to what was done by the Naxx strategies, except that this approach does not require any modifications to the core. I used it for only one mechanic, which was to detect Kael’thas’s phase. That was very helpful because the fight is divided into 5 phases, and distinguishing between them with traditional techniques requires lookups of a dozen NPCs and comparisons of their various unit states, react states, and auras; by accessing his bossai, this can all be avoided. However, there is far more potential beyond this if the approach is an acceptable one. On with the (shit)show. ### Trash In a perfect world, there would be many strategies for TK trash, which is easily more difficult than two of the bosses. It’s a real pain to do though because to solve the biggest issues properly, each pack would have to be handled a little differently. So the only thing I’ve included is for Mages to cast polymorph on the Crimson Hand Centurions when they are channeling Arcane Flurry. The purpose is not to actually keep them CC’d but to interrupt their channel. ### Al’ar This fight sucked so much to write a strategy for. The only silver lining is that being the post-nerf version, the boss moves between only 4 platform locations (instead of 6), and movement between them is on a fixed rotation (interrupted by Flame Quills) instead of being random. Thus, a strategy can be consistently replicated, and the fight can be done with only 3 tanks (2 on the platforms for the boss and 1 below for adds). **Phase 1:** I’m going to call the platform that Al’ar lands at after the pull “platform 0” because that reflects the indices in the code. In a clockwise direction, the remaining platforms will be referred to as platforms 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The best way to pull is to first put all ranged, as well as tanks other than your main tank and first assistant tank, on nc +stay below platform 0. Then, go up the ramp to platform 0 with your main tank, first assistant tank, and melee dps following you, then hit Al’ar with any ranged attack or spell to start the fight. - Your main tank will start at platform 0, and your first assistant tank will immediately move to platform 1. When Al’ar moves to platform 1, your main tank will move to platform 2. When Al’ar moves to platform 2, your first assistant tank will move to platform 3. When Al’ar moves to platform 3, your main tank will move back to platform 0. This assures a tank is available to receive Al’ar after every platform movement (every 30 seconds). - Melee DPS will follow Al’ar as it moves between platforms. - Each platform is mapped to a corresponding ground location below it. Ranged DPS and healers will follow Al’ar by moving to the corresponding ground location as it flies between platforms. - After each platform move, an Ember of Al’ar will spawn. Your second assistant tank will pick up the Ember and move it to the point that is 25 yards away from the ground position corresponding to Al’ar’s platform (on an invisible line between such ground position and the middle of the room). Ranged DPS will then focus down the Ember before switching back to Al’ar (this positioning is so that ranged are not hit by the Ember Blast explosion that happens whenever an Ember dies). - Each time Al’ar leaves a platform, it has a chance to instead fly up high in the middle of the room to perform Flame Quills, which will one-shot anybody on the upper level or ramps. When Al’ar begins the Flame Quills sequence, all bots on the top level will jump off. FYI, Al’ar’s usage of Flame Quills is not entirely random: there is a 20% chance for it to do so after the first platform move, and the chance increases by another 20% after each subsequent platform move that does not trigger Flame Quills (reset after each Flame Quills sequence). - After Flame Quills, Al’ar will randomly land at either platform 0 or 3. To prepare for this, bots will move to assigned positions during the Flame Quills sequence: - Ranged and the second assistant tank will wait in the middle of the room. - Melee DPS will wait at a point that is between the base of each ramp. - The main tank will wait at the base of the ramp to platform 0. - The first assistant tank will wait at the base of the ramp to platform 3. - Once Al’ar lands, the regular Phase 1 strategies resume. - When Al’ar “dies,” it disappears and moves to the center of the room, where it casts Rebirth and returns to full HP. Bots will wait outside of the radius of the Rebirth explosion for Phase 2 to start. Phase 2: - Your main tank will tank Al’ar initially. When Al’ar casts Melt Armor, your first assistant tank will taunt Al’ar and take over. The tank swaps will continue back and forth every time Melt Armor is cast. - Bots will avoid Flame Patches. FWIW, the standard co +avoid aoe strategy does work for Flame Patches, but avoid aoe provides no buffer distance so as you’ve probably noticed, it doesn’t provide for preemptive avoidance. Also, avoid aoe does not consider multiple hazards together so it can be an issue when movement needs to take into account more than one hazard, plus when a strategy requires particular bot movement, it’s better to account for the hazards within that movement strategy instead of relying on separate methods that can create conflicts. - When Al’ar takes to the sky to perform Dive Bomb, bots will spread out (and continue to avoid Flame Patches). After the Dive Bomb, Al’ar does another Rebirth explosion. I have tried a million different things to properly detect this full sequence (even accessing the bossAI like I did with Kael’thas) and cannot get it to work properly. Ultimately, all I’ve been able to get to work at all with respect to the final explosion is for bots to detect the 2-second cast of the Rebirth and run out. It is not enough time for bots that are too close when the cast happens so some bots may get hit, but if you have adequate gear, they should survive. - After each Dive Bomb, 2 Embers will spawn. Your second assistant tank will tank one Ember, and either the main tank or first assistant tank, whichever one is not tanking Al’ar at the time, will tank the other Ember. They will both move the Embers away from bots, and ranged DPS will focus both Embers down before switching back to Al’ar. - Because the room is so large, it is possible for bots to get too far away from active combat (particularly if they are thrown across the room by Ember Blast) so there is also a method for them to run back toward the center if they get too far away. ### Void Reaver Ironically, what was often considered the easiest boss in 25-player content in TBC is the only boss with an ability (Arcane Orb) that I do not believe can be avoided by bots, even with access to Void Reaver’s boss script. Therefore, every single Arcane Orb is going to hit its target, so the strategy can only try to limit the damage by spreading ranged bots in two rings around Void Reaver (one for healers and one for ranged DPS, to try to ensure sufficient distribution of healers). The tanks will all fight for aggro (necessary due to Knock Away) and try to keep Void Reaver in the middle of the room. Bots that can wipe aggro or otherwise gain invulnerability are directed to use the applicable abilities as soon as they pick up aggro (e.g., Soulshatter). He’s still easy, but if you have IP nerfs, it’s a little bit of a gear check. ### High Astromancer Solarian No boss was hit harder by nerfs in TBC than Solarian, whose encounter went from a totally unique fight that required arcane resistance to a fight that is kind of just an easier Baron Geddon. IMO, she is the easiest boss in TBC 25-player raids. - Ranged bots stack up at a distance from Solarian; this leaves all bots with plenty of space to run away from other bots when they get Wrath of the Astromancer. - When Solarian vanishes, all bots will stack to AoE down the Solarium Agents that spawn. - When Solarian returns with two Solarium Priests, melee will divide into two groups, with one focused on each Solarium Priest. I think this method is not working correctly right now because when one Priest dies, the bots still on the second Priest are leaving it. I’ll need to decide whether I want to figure it out or just get rid of it because this fight is so easy regardless. - Priest bots will cast Fear Ward on the main tank to block the Psychic Scream during the final tank-and-spank Voidwalker phase, and the main tank will pick up Voidwalker Solarian as soon as she transforms. Note that the bots will not be knocked into the air by Wrath of the Astromancer. The issue is due to the presence of a check for knockbacks in Playerbots that causes bots to ignore knockbacks that would launch them at a velocity beyond a hardcoded value. I’ve increased that velocity limit on my own fork, and it does allow Wrath of the Astromancer (and other knockbacks that otherwise don’t work) to work on bots. But that’s obviously a broader issue and not addressed in this PR, and bots don’t take fall damage in any case. ### Kael’thas Sunstrider So this strategy has 23(!) action methods. But like in retail, this is actually an easy fight once it is learned because it is highly scripted. Unlike in other strategies I’ve done, the bots probably cannot do this fight by themselves unless they are way overgeared. This is because there are a few windows during which bots need to position themselves properly based on dynamic factors. But no RTSC is needed—you just need to have bots follow you to the right locations. Also note that the gear check for this strategy is higher than in retail because you have to get all of the legendary weapons down and looted before the advisors aggro in Phase 3, or it’s going to be an absolute shitshow (with human players, you can deal with there still being a couple of weapons up). For a point of reference, when I was first working on this strategy with damage reduced to 50% and bots pretty close to T4 BiS, I had almost no margin of error (I would usually get the weapons down with barely a second to spare). You will need at least 2 tanks, but 3 is better. Your main tank will need to be able to equip the legendary shield so you must use a Warrior or Paladin. However, it is ideal for the first assistant tank to be a Druid because they can equip the legendary staff. **Phase 1:** Fun fact—when you “kill” the advisors in this phase, they don’t actually die but get an aura applied called “Permanent Feign Death” (nice oxymoron). - _Thaladred_: You’re supposed to kite him, and bots can’t really kite, so the method is a poor man’s method of having the bot move away from him in a straight line when fixated. You want him to die in the far Southern part of the room. If he dies in a bad location, you may as well call a wipe and restart. What will work best for you will depend on your DPS since you don’t want to kill him before he gets to the location you want but also don’t want bots to be trapped up against a wall since they can’t properly kite him. The way that works best for me is to have bots stay back while I aggro the boss, and wait until right before Thaladred switches to his second fixate target before attacking. Note that if you do put bots on stay, when you put them back on follow, the bot that is then being fixated will remain on stay (because they need to disregard movement orders other than running away from Thaladred). So after Thaladred dies, make sure to manually type /follow or the bot that was fixated when you took the bots off of stay will not rejoin the fight. - _Sanguinar_: He will be tanked by your main tank, who will be targeted by your Priests for Fear Ward. Bots will wait to engage him; I made it a very generous time (12 seconds) because there is absolutely no rush in Phase 1. There’s no sense in being aggressive. During that time, the main tank will drag Sanguinar to the West wall. - _Capernian_: This is the first make-or-break part of the fight. Phase 1 Capernian was the most frequent cause for wipes for me. - She should be tanked by a Warlock. If you want to pick your Warlock tank, you can do so by the assistant flag, but if you don’t, the strategy will just pick your highest HP Warlock. If you raid without a Warlock, then you’re insane, but at least there’s a guard so your server won’t crash? - You do not need to add the tank strategy to your Warlock. There is a method that will automatically switch your selected tank Warlock between DPS and tank strategies at appropriate times because you need to squeeze out every drop of DPS you can get, particularly for Phase 2, where you’ll need your Warlock to be blowing up weapons with Seed of Corruption instead of spamming Searing Pain. You’ll want your Warlock to start with a DPS strategy as usual (since they should be DPSing Thaladred). - To engage Capernian, start running East right before Sanguinar dies. She will activate quickly, and you want to try to get in front of her (but not too close) before she aggros. - When Capernian aggros, your Warlock tank will immediately switch to the tank strategy and attack. Your main tank will run toward Capernian but not actually attack; their purpose will be to bait her Conflagration to reduce the chance that it hits your Warlock tank. Other melee will not engage Capernian. Ranged DPS will be idle for 12 seconds; during this time, you should run South to make sure they are not in range of Capernian. After 12 seconds, your ranged DPS will activate, move into range and spread out, and attack (it doesn’t seem possible to outrange Conflagrate, so if bots don’t spread, she will annihilate the entire ranged group with a single cast). Ideally, you kill her not too far from her starting position. If she ends up in the middle of the room, you should probably wipe and start over. - _Telonicus_: He is very easy in retail but actually is a big risk for wipes with respect to bots because his bombs will one-shot any non-tank, and bots will stupidly stand in front of him without a proper strategy. You should keep some distance from him before he aggros. Your first assistant tank will pick him up and move him to the West wall near Sanguinar. Again, there is a 12-second delay before DPS starts. Your melee DPS are coded to stay directly behind him and not get too close so they don’t get hit by bombs. **Phase 2:** Kael’thas will summon all weapons immediately after Telonicus is down. Just before Telonicus is down, you should move to the platform where the advisors originally were—you’ll be in better position for the raid to AoE down the weapons. - Your main tank will pick up the axe and move it away from the group. The axe is the biggest threat during this phase and can easily one-shot casters if not pulled away. - One of your Hunters will attempt to get aggro on the bow and move away from the group (as a hacky way of trying to turn the bow away from the group because you can’t really get a bot to do that directly). This method is hit or miss, but it shouldn’t be that big of a deal if your Hunter doesn’t pull it off properly. - Everybody else will prioritize weapons in the following order (but most damage will come from AoE, which is what you want or you will not beat the timer): staff, mace, sword, dagger, axe (ranged only), bow, and shield. - As weapons are defeated, bots will loot and equip them. If you have not disabled bot announcements in your config, you get to see your entire raid go nuts because they looted legendary items. - Here is what weapons bots will loot and equip. I don't know anything about DKs, having never played WotLK, so tell me if anything is wrong for them. - _Healers:_ Mace (if a healer normally uses a staff, it's best if they keep an OH in their bags for this fight) - _Tanks:_ Shield and sword for Paladins and DK, shield and dagger for warriors, staff for Druid - _Offensive_ casters: Staff - _Rogues:_ Sword and dagger if Combat or Subtlety, dagger only if Assassination - _DPS Death Knights, Retribution Paladins, Arms Warriors_: Axe - _Fury Warriors_: Dagger. I understand that due to Titan Grip, they should also have the Axe for best DPS; however, Fury Warriors have awful DPS (we’re talking barely above Prot-level) at this stage. Thus, my view is it is better to give them only the dagger so they will MH it and help break MC in Phase 4, since they will contribute hardly any DPS regardless. - _Cat Druids_: Staff - _Enhancement Shamans_: Dagger - _Hunters:_ Bow and dagger. Note that I do NOT have them loot the sword because they need the dagger in their mainhand to use to break MC in Phase 4; whatever marginal benefit they get from the sword as a stat stick is not worth losing this capability. If your Hunter uses a 2H, it is best to have them carry a 1H in their inventory so they can put something in the OH after they equip the dagger. - After looting weapons, bots with the staff will use it (once) to activate the Mental Protection Field. Hunters will use the bow to generate the legendary arrows and equip those (and will continue to do so during the fight if they use up the arrows). - If you wipe from this point forward, everybody will lose their legendary weapons, and by default, most bots will not automatically reequip their own weapons until a loot event occurs. This was extremely annoying, and therefore there is a noncombat method implemented that causes everybody to equip upgrades when they get within 150 yards of Kael’thas. I considered applying this to the whole instance, but I’m not sure if some people would not like that so I decided to limit things to the Kael’thas encounter. **Phase 3:** I highly recommend you have your Shamans drop Tremor Totems (co +tremor) during this phase. Doing so is not coded because I wanted to leave flexibility, but I think it is very helpful for Sanguinar. After the weapons die, you want to move your bots to a central location between the advisors. If Thaladred died closer to the middle of the room, ideally you position to the side of Thaladred so when he fixates he will not chase bots North into the other advisors. - Shamans will immediately use Heroism/Bloodlust. - Your melee tanks will bring Sanguinar and Telonicus to their tanking positions (same as Phase 1). If your first assistant tank is a Druid, they will be immune to Telonicus’s Remote Toy due to having the legendary staff’s aura activated and will also make your main tank immune. - One healer will stay by the Sanguinar and Telonicus tanking positions to heal the tanks. Once IsHealAssistantOfIndex() is fixed, you will be able to select this healer with the assistant flag. Right now, this will just be the last healer that joined your raid (per standard AC logic). - DPS priority will be Thaladred, Capernian (ranged only), Sanguinar, Telonicus. As with retail, the most chaotic period will be before Thaladred is killed, particularly if he chases bots into other advisors. I don’t have a great solution for this, but Capernian is significantly less dangerous during this phase thanks to the legendary staff. This is the last true breakpoint—if you get Thaladred down with your raid mostly intact, you are very likely to get the kill. **Phase 4:** Kael’thas will aggro immediately after all advisors are dead. - Your main tank will position Kael’thas at his original position. - Bots will move out of Flame Strikes. - Assist tanks will pick up Phoenixes. Since they die over time anyway, bots will not waste time attacking them. When Phoenixes die, they turn into an Egg—at that point, bots will switch to the Egg to destroy it before the Phoenix is reborn. - When Kael’thas puts up Shock Barrier and starts casting Pyroblast on your main tank (a one-shot), all bots will focus DPS on him (even if there is an egg up). You have 4 seconds to break the barrier (80K HP) and interrupt his Pyroblast. It is likely that you will not be able to if you are playing with IP nerfs and are in T4 gear. However, the main tank will use the legendary shield’s ability, which will allow them to absorb one cast, giving you 8 seconds to break the barrier and interrupt Pyroblast. Bots will put top priority on interrupting Pyroblast as soon as the barrier is down. - If a bot (or player) is mind controlled, bots with the legendary dagger (other than tanks) will move to MC’d players and use the following attacks to break MC: Shiv (Rogues), Hamstring (Warriors), Wing Clip (Hunters), and Stormstrike (Shamans). **Phase 5:** At 50% HP, Kael’thas enters a long RP sequence. This is a good time to kill any remaining Phoenixes and/or Eggs. - Kael’thas stops casting Pyroblast and Mind Control. - His main new ability is Gravity Lapse, and it doesn’t work properly on bots... He sucks in the entire raid then knocks everybody back in a different direction. What is supposed to happen is that players will end up floating in midair in different directions and at different heights. However, bots will immediately fall to the ground after getting knocked back. They will not actually hit the ground though and instead remain in a flying state right above the floor. - If you could move in 3D space, Netherbeam would be very easy to deal with. However, because that is not available to bots, they can spread only in 2D space and thus need to move farther to get properly spread, and they waste the first moments falling straight down. As a result, the damage from Netherbeam can be quite high, and the beginning of Gravity Lapse requires a lot of healing. I don’t really have a better way of dealing with this. - FWIW, I don’t think there is any existing method to make bots disperse in 3D anyway. - Kael’thas is supposed to use Nether Void when players are in midair, which creates clouds that reduce your max HP and thus make it more challenging to maneuver, but AC is bugged and he doesn’t use the ability at all (there’s been an open issue about this forever). For fuck's sake, that's all. --------- Co-authored-by: Keleborn <22352763+Celandriel@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bash <hermensb@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Revision <tkn963@gmail.com> |

Stage1 refactor world position method names (#2126)
# Pull Request This change replaces the non‑standard WorldPosition::getX/getY/getZ/getO/getMapId wrappers with the core getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetOrientation, GetMapId) and removes the redundant wrappers. Goal: align the module with AzerothCore conventions, reduce local adapters, and improve long‑term maintainability. --- ## Design Philosophy This is a structural cleanup only (coordinate access) and does not alter any AI behavior or decision logic. It follows the stability/performance-first philosophy and does not add branches or extra runtime work. Before submitting: yes, this change aligns with the principles of stability, performance, and predictability. Principles: - **Stability before intelligence** A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one. - **Performance is a shared resource** Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots. - **Simple logic scales better than smart logic** Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions. - **Complexity must justify itself** If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist. - **Defaults must be cheap** Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated. - **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect** The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation. Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those principles. --- ## Feature Evaluation Please answer the following: - Minimum logic required: use core getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetMapId, GetOrientation) wherever coordinates are needed. - Cheapest implementation: direct call replacement and removal of redundant wrappers. - Runtime cost: negligible (same data access, no additional logic). --- ## How to Test the Changes - No functional testing required (behavior‑neutral refactor). - Recommended: compile the module and run a normal server startup as validation. ## Complexity & Impact Does this change add new decision branches? - - [x] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) Does this change increase per-bot or per-tick processing? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**describe and justify impact**) Could this logic scale poorly under load? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) --- ## Defaults & Configuration Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) If this introduces more advanced or AI-heavy logic: - - [x] Lightweight mode remains the default - - [x] More complex behavior is optional and thereby configurable --- ## AI Assistance Was AI assistance (e.g. ChatGPT or similar tools) used while working on this change? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) If yes, please specify: - AI tool or model used: Copilot - Purpose of usage: Translate this PR text from french to English --- ## Final Checklist - - [x] Stability is not compromised - - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable - - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained - - [x] Documentation updated if needed --- ## Notes for Reviewers This is a core-friendly cleanup only, with no behavioral change. No additional logic or CPU cost is introduced. |

Refactor of EquipActions (#1994)
#PR Description The root cause of issue #1987 was the AI Value item usage becoming a very expensive call when bots gained professions accidentally. My original approach was to eliminate it entirely, but after inputs and testing I decided to introduce a more focused Ai value "Item upgrade" that only checks equipment and ammo inheriting directly from item usage, so the logic is unified between them. Upgrades are now only assessed when receiving an item that can be equipped. Additionally, I noticed that winning loot rolls did not trigger the upgrade action, so I added a new package handler for that. Performance needs to be re-evaluated, but I expect a reduction in calls and in the cost of each call. I tested with bots and selfbot in deadmines and ahadowfang keep. --------- Co-authored-by: bashermens <31279994+hermensbas@users.noreply.github.com> |

Implement Serpentshrine Cavern Strategies (#1888)
Edited: Below description of methods were brought up to date as of the PR coming off of draft. ### General I've starting leveraging, to the extent possible, an out-of-combat method to erase map keys. This is mostly useful for timers that need to start upon the pull because I dislike having to rely on a check for a boss to be at 100% HP (or 99.9% or whatever) because it can be unreliable sometimes. ### Trash Underbog Colossi: Some Colossi leave behind a lake of toxin when they die that quickly kills any player that is standing in it. The pool is a dynamic-object-generated AoE, and bots will not avoid it on their own (I think because the AoE is out of combat, plus the radius is much larger than the default avoidance radius in the config). The method does not require bots to be in combat, and simply gets bots to run out of the toxin. You will probably still get a couple of idiots who drink in the middle of it, but in my experience, the vast majority of the raid gets out, and healers that escape can easily keep up a couple of fools until they've drank to full. Greyheart Tidecallers: Bots will mark and destroy Water Elemental Totems immediately. ### Hydross the Unstable The strategy uses 2 tanks, with the main tank assigned to the frost phase and the 1st assistant tank assigned to the nature phase. - The main tank will tank the frost phase, and the first assistant tank will tank the nature phase. They each have designated spots and will wait at their spots twiddling their thumbs while Hydross is in the other phase. - Hunters will misdirect to the applicable tank upon the pull and after each phase change. - The phase change process begins 1 second after Hydross reaches 100% Marks. The current tank will begin moving to the next phase tank's spot for the next tank to take over as soon as Hydross transitions. - DPS is ordered to stop after Hydross reaches 100% Marks until 5 seconds after he transitions. - Bots will prioritize the elementals adds after every phase change, unless Hydross is under 10% HP, in which case they should ignore the adds and burn the boss. - Ranged bots should spread during the frost phase to mitigate the impact of Water Tombs. ### The Lurker Below - There is a designated spot for the main tank. - Ranged DPS will fan out over a 120-degree arc that is centered directly across from the tank spot (to try to spread to reduce Geyser damage while also keeping them behind Lurker). - When Spout begins, all bots will run around behind Lurker. The intent is to keep a distance with a radius of 20 or 21 yards and within 45 degrees (either side) of directly behind him. Movement is specifically tangential along an arc so bots don't run in front of Lurker. - Spout's duration is tracked by a timer. The mechanics of the spell itself are rather unique and don't involve a continuous cast or aura to track easily so I settled for the timer. - If you have 3 (or more) tanks, each of the first 3 tanks will be assigned to one of the 3 Coilfang Guardians during the submerge phase. ### Leotheras the Blind The fight is designed for a Warlock tank. You can choose the Warlock tank by giving a Warlock the Assistant flag. If you don't do that, your highest HP Warlock will be picked. Do NOT switch the Warlock tank to a co +tank strategy--the designated Warlock is hardcoded to spam Searing Pain on Demon Leo and otherwise will engage in normal DPS strategies. If you don't have a Warlock at all, the strategy has some methods built in to try to make things work as best as possible with a melee tank. - The Spellbinders get marked with skulls and killed in order. - There is no designated spot or designated tank for the human phase. Your tanks will fight for aggro. Ranged bots will attempt to keep some distance, and when Whirlwind starts, everybody will run away from Leotheras. - During the demon phase, your melee tanks should take a backseat to your Warlock tank, who will receive help in the form of Misdirection. Bots will get the hell away from the Warlock tank so the Warlock tank should be taking every Chaos Blast alone. - During the final phase, your regular tanks will tank Leotheras, and the Warlock tank will tank his Shadow. The melee tanks will attempt to separate Leotheras from his Shadow so bots can focus down Leotheras without getting hit with Chaos Blasts. - Bots will wait 5 seconds to DPS after every transition into human phase, 12 seconds to DPS after every transition into demon phase, and 8 seconds to DPS after the transition into the final phase. There is no waiting on DPS after Whirlwinds, even though it would be ideal. It's not a big deal to live without, and for various reasons, it would have been a pain in the ass to deal with. - Bots will save Bloodlust/Heroism until after Spellbinders are down. - To deal with the Inner Demons, I disabled DPS assist for bots who are targeted and force them to focus only on their Inner Demons. This is sufficient in my experience for all DPS bots and Protection Warriors and Paladins to kill their Inner Demons, even at 50% damage. Feral Tank Druids and Healers still need help, so the strategy hardcodes their actions while fighting Inner Demons. For example, Resto Druids are coded to shift out of Tree Form, cast Barkskin on themselves, and just spam Wrath until the Inner Demon is dead. There are no bot strategy changes used for this method. ### Fathom-Lord Karathress You will need 4 tanks. Your main tank will tank Karathress, and an assistant tank will tank each Fathom Guard. If you have fewer than 4 tanks, then the priority order for tank assignment will be Karathress, Caribdis, Sharkkis, and then Tidalvess. - Roughly, the tank spots are (1) for Karathress, near where he starts but closer to the ledge for LoS reasons, (2) for Sharkkis, North from his starting location on the other side of the ramp, (3) for Tidalvess, Northwest from his starting location near the pillar, and (4) for Caribdis, far to the West of her starting position, near the corner. - Note that the tanks will probably clip through the terrain a bit when going to their positions. This is due to me implementing a forced MoveTo to the tank position coordinates. There is something weird about the maps in Karathress's room, and the tanks will take some really screwed up paths without making them go directly to the exact coordinates. So this looks stupid but is necessary. - One healer will be assigned to heal the Caribdis tank. Because AC Playerbots does not yet have a focus heal strategy, this just means that such healer has a designated location near the Caribdis tank's location. This healer can be selected with the Assistant flag. - Hunters will misdirect the Fathom Guards onto their applicable tanks. If you don't have three Hunters, the priority is Caribdis, Tidalvess, then Sharkkis. - DPS will wait 12 seconds to begin attacking. After that, they will prioritize targets as follows: - (1): Melee will always prioritize Spitfire Totems as soon as they spawn. This will continue through the duration of the fight. - (2): All bots will kill Tidalvess first. - (3): Melee bots will move to Sharkkis, and ranged bots will move to Caribdis. I understand this is not the standard kill order for players, which would have the entire raid kill Sharkkis next. The reasons I have done this differently are because melee DPS is much stronger with 3.3.5 talents vs. in retail TBC, and because bots get really thrown off by Cyclones and therefore they struggle to kill Caribdis quickly. You do not want Karathress below 75% HP before all Fathom-Guards are dead or he gets a huge damage buff. - (4) If Caribdis dies first, ranged bots will help with Sharkkis. - (5) Everybody kills Sharkkis's pet. - (6) Everybody kills Karathress. ### Morogrim Tidewalker - The main tank will pull the boss to the Northeast pillar, with the tank's back against the pillar. - A hunter will misdirect the boss onto the main tank upon the pull. - When the boss gets to 26% HP, the main tank will begin moving the boss to the Northeast corner of the room in preparation for Phase 2 (which begins at 25%). The tank will move in two steps to get around the pillar. - When the boss gets to 25% HP, ranged will follow the main tank to the corner and stack up right behind the boss. They will also move in two steps. - There is no method for melee since they will just naturally follow the boss anyway. ### Lady Vashj **Phase 1**: - The main tank will tank Vashj in the center of the arena. - If a Shaman is in the main tank's group, that Shaman will attempt to keep a Grounding Totem down in range of the main tank to absorb Shock Blast. This should continue in Phase 3. - Ranged bots will spread out in a semicircle around the center of the arena. - If any bot other than the main tank gets Static Charge, it will run away from other bots. If the main tank gets Static Charge, other bots will run away from the main tank. This method should continue in Phase 3. - If any bot is Entangled and has Static Charge, the bot will attempt to use Cloak of Shadows if it is a Rogue, and Paladins will attempt to use Hand of Freedom. This method should continue in Phase 3 (with some modifications). - Bots will not use Bloodlust or Heroism (saved for Phase 3). Bots will not use any other major cooldowns, either, such as Metamorphosis (saved for Phase 2 and 3). **Phase 2**: There are two central mechanics to this phase, both of which were challenging to get bots to execute properly. First is the system of prioritizing adds. The large playing field and multiple types of adds coming from random directions make this phase not doable with realistic DPS under the standard Playerbots target selection system. Therefore, I took inspiration from liyunfan's Naxx strategy for Phase 1 of Kel'Thuzad to disable dps assist and create a custom target selection system. First, a cheat with respect to the Coilfang Striders: - Tanks will permanently have the Fear Ward aura applied to them if you have raid cheats enabled. This allows them to tank the Coilfang Striders. The standard strategy was to have an Elemental Shaman kite the Strider around the perimeter of the arena, with ranged players (including healers) spamming DoTs on the Strider. If you can make bots do this, then great, but it's far beyond my capabilities. Therefore, with the cheat, the first assistant tank is responsible for tanking Striders and keeping them away from Core passers (described below) and Vashj. Evidently it was (and is, in TBC Classic) possible to tank (and melee DPS) Striders by wearing a Dire Maul Ogre Suit, which would give you enough reach to stay out of the Strider's fear. I actually tried that, and it does not work, either because AC's radiuses are not the same or just because bots do not maintain the same level of precise positioning. But anyway, the point is that technically the Striders are tankable by real players, so maybe that will make you feel better about using this cheat (it's fine enough rationalizing for me). I found this fight to be unmanageable without this cheat (i.e., using a method that would only have bots try to run away from Striders) because each Strider was guaranteed to wipe out a couple of bots, and you really cannot afford to lose anyone. YMMV though. - If cheats are enabled for Striders, Hunters will attempt to Misdirect the Striders to the first assist tank. - If cheats are not enabled, bots will attempt to use slows/roots to stop the Striders. I have some logic for them to use Netherweave Nets, but I suspect it does not actually work so I may remove it instead of trying to get it to function properly. Target priority is as follows: - Hunters and Mages: Enchanted Elementals, Coilfang Striders, Coilfang Elites. - Other Ranged Bots: Elites, Striders, Elementals. - Melee DPS: Elementals, Elites. - Tanks: Elites, Elementals (except if cheats are enabled, the first assistant tank will instead prioritize Striders and then Elementals) - Everybody else (basically means healers): Elementals, Elites, Striders - If there is more than one of the same target, bots will prioritize the one that is closer to Vashj. - In all cases, the valid attack ranged is limited so that bots should not leave the central platform. - If somehow a bot ends up too far from the center of the room and is not actively attacking anything, there is logic to make them run back. Handling Tainted Elementals and the Tainted Core: I will make another post about this later. It is easily the most complicated strategy I've ever worked on (far beyond anything on Kael'thas even) so will necessitate a long explanation. The tl;dr is that there is a chain of two-to-four bots that receive/pass the Tainted Core before using it on a Shield Generator, and if you are playing by yourself, you probably need to turn raid cheats on, in which case there will also be a bot that teleports to, kills, and loots the Tainted Elementals (i.e., the bots will then handle the entire sequence of shutting down Shield Generators). **Phase 3**: - The main tank will pick up Vashj immediately and try to keep her away from Enchanted Elementals. - DPS will burn down residual adds from Phase 2 in the order of (1) elementals, (2) strider for ranged only (if you have more than one up, you're dead), and (3) elites (hopefully you have only one up, but two with one almost dead is possible). - Hunters will kill Toxic Sporebats. This works quite well, but they (and anybody else if ordered to target Sporebats) have a tendency to levitate up into the pipes at the top of the room when killing the Sporebats. To counteract this, a method forcibly teleports bots to the ground if they get more than 2 yards above the ground. - The Phase 1 Cloak of Shadows/Hand of Freedom method is now expanded to include bots Entangled in the Sporebat poison pools (with Hand of Freedom usage prioritized on the main tank). - There is a specific method to avoid the Sporebat poison pools. The Vashj tank will move backwards when avoiding poison. --------- Co-authored-by: kadeshar <kadeshar@gmail.com> |

Refactor raid strategy framework (#2069)
# Pull Request The purposes of this PR are to (1) establish a general raid helper framework for the benefit of future raid strategies and (2) make some improvements to problematic areas of the raid strategy code. List of changes: 1. Added new RaidBossHelpers.cpp and RaidBossHelpers.h files in the Raid folder. 3. Moved reused helpers from Karazhan, Gruul, and Magtheridon strategies to the new helper files. 4. Modified the prior function that assigned a DPS bot to store and erase timers and trackers in associative containers--the function now includes parameters for mapId (so a bot that is not in the instance will not be assigned) and for the ability to exclude a bot (useful for excluding particular important roles, such as a Warlock tank, so they are not bogged down by these extra tasks at critical moments). I also renamed it from IsInstanceTimerManager to IsMechanicTrackerBot. 5. Moved all helper files in raid strategies to Util folders (was needed for ICC, MC, and Ulduar). 6. Renamed and reordered includes of Ulduar files in AiObjectContext.cpp to match other raid strategies. a. This initially caused compile errors which made me realize that the existing code had several problems with missing includes and was compiling only due to the prior ordering in AiObjectContext.cpp. Therefore, I added the missing includes to Molten Core, Ulduar, and Vault of Archavon strategies. b. Ulduar and Old Kingdom were also using the same constant name for a spell--the reordering caused a compile error here as well, which just highlighted an existing problem that was being hidden. I renamed the constant for Ulduar to fix this, but I think the better approach going forward would be to use a namespace or enum class. But that is for another time and probably another person. 7. Several changes with respect to Ulduar files: a. The position constants and enums for spells and NPCs and such were in the trigger header file. I did not think that made sense so moved them to existing helper files. b. Since the strategy does not use multipliers, I removed all files and references to multipliers in it. c. I removed some unneeded includes. I did not do a detailed review to determine what else could be removed--I just took some out that I could tell right away were not needed. d. I renamed the ingame strategy name from "uld" to "ulduar," which I think is clearer and is still plenty short. 8. Partial refactor of Gruul and Magtheridon strategies: a. I did not due a full refactoring but made some quick changes to things I did previously that were rather stupid like repeating calculations, having useless logic like pointless IsAlive() checks for creatures already on the hostile references list, and not using the existing Position class for coordinates. b. There were a few substantive changes, such as allowing players to pick Maulgar mage and moonkin tanks with the assistant flag, but a greater refactoring of the strategies themselves is beyond this PR. c. I was clearing some containers used for Gruul and Magtheridon strategies; the methods are now fixed to erase only the applicable keys so that in the unlikely event that one server has multiple groups running Gruul or Magtheridon at the same time, there won't be timer or position tracker conflicts. ## How to Test the Changes 1. Enter any raid instance that has any code impacted by this PR 2. Engage bosses and observe if any strategies are now broken I personally tested Maulgar, Gruul, and Magtheridon and confirmed that they still work as intended. ## Complexity & Impact I do not expect this PR to have any relevant changes to in-game performance, but I will defer to those more knowledgeable than I if there are concerns in this area. As I've mentioned before, you can consider me to be like a person who has taken half an intro C++ course at best. ## AI Assistance None beyond autocomplete of repetitive changes. --------- Co-authored-by: bashermens <31279994+hermensbas@users.noreply.github.com> |

New whisper command "pvp stats" that allows players to ask a bot to report its current Arena Points, Honor Points, and Arena Teams (#2071)
# 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)

Fix Assistant Assignment Functions (#1930)
IsHealAssistantOfIndex() and IsRangedDpsAssistantOfIndex() are supposed to iterate through the group and first return members with the applicable role that have the assistant flag, and then iterate through non-assistants only if there are not enough assistants for the designated index. They are not written properly and actually completely ignore the assistant flag. I rely on these functions for significant roles in SSC and TK (which I have decided I'll PR in the same way as SSC, as a long-term draft). I have them fixed on my own fork, but it is problematic for testers if these functions do not work. So I've done three things here: 1. Fixed the functions to prefer members with the assistant flag. 2. Added a third parameter for ignoreDeadPlayers, like IsAssistTankOfIndex() has. Note that the parameter is by default false for IsAssistTankOfIndex(), meaning dead players are _not_ ignored. This is not my preferred design choice--I think the default should be to ignore dead players, but I have not changed the default and have made the default the same for IsAssistHealOfIndex() and IsAssistRangedDpsOfIndex(), since I don't know the intent of the pre-existing boss strats that use the functions. 3. Changed the names to IsAssistHealOfIndex() and IsAssistRangedDpsOfIndex() so they parallel IsAssistTankOfIndex(), and made corresponding changes in the few boss strats that use the functions. Also, note that the functions _do _not_ exclude real players. I think there are arguments for and against excluding real players. A fourth parameter for this could be useful, but I've not made any change in that regard. |
