Re-Enable Console Pipe Functionality

[yani9o]

Fix Pipe-Functionality

Changes Proposed:

This PR fixes an issue introduced in #24725 where console input was broken for environments using redirected pipes on windows (in my case: CubeCoders AMP).

Added a check using GetConsoleMode to detect if the server is running in a real interactive Windows console.

• If a real console is detected, it uses ReadConsoleW to support Unicode/Non-Latin characters as intended by the original commit.
• If no real console is detected (input is redirected via pipe), it falls back to std::getline.

This ensures that pipes can still send commands to the server while preserving the new Unicode support for real terminals.

This PR proposes changes to:

• Core (units, players, creatures, game systems).
• Scripts (bosses, spell scripts, creature scripts).
• Database (SAI, creatures, etc).

AI-assisted Pull Requests

Important

While the use of AI tools when preparing pull requests is not prohibited, contributors must clearly disclose when such tools have been used and specify the model involved.

Contributors are also expected to fully understand the changes they are submitting and must be able to explain and justify those changes when requested by maintainers.

• AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) were used entirely or partially in preparing this pull request:
  ChatGPT helped me with this fix.

Issues Addressed:

• also fixes Windows Console only takes allows char input #13203 while keeping old pipe functionality.

Tests Performed:

Piped Console works again (tested with AMP - CubeCoders).

Also tested with normal console:

.lookup spell höh

non-latin chars:

How to Test the Changes:

use any non-latin character in console.

Known Issues and TODO List:

• none known

How to Test AzerothCore PRs

When a PR is ready to be tested, it will be marked as [WAITING TO BE TESTED].

You can help by testing PRs and writing your feedback here on the PR's page on GitHub. Follow the instructions here:

http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/How-to-test-a-PR

REMEMBER: when testing a PR that changes something generic (i.e. a part of code that handles more than one specific thing), the tester should not only check that the PR does its job (e.g. fixing spell XXX) but especially check that the PR does not cause any regression (i.e. introducing new bugs).

For example: if a PR fixes spell X by changing a part of code that handles spells X, Y, and Z, we should not only test X, but we should test Y and Z as well.

Pull request overview

Re-enables Windows worldserver CLI command input when stdin is redirected (pipes), while preserving the Unicode-capable ReadConsoleW path for interactive consoles (regression from #24725 / issue #13203 context).

Changes:

• Detects whether stdin is a real Windows console via GetConsoleMode.
• Uses ReadConsoleW + UTF-16→UTF-8 conversion for real consoles; falls back to std::getline(std::cin, ...) for redirected input.
• Stops the server on redirected-input EOF to mirror the existing EOF shutdown behavior.
