🖥️ Server Persistence Optimization: Update only modified skills instead of the entire NUMSKILLS batch #1227 (Morgolock)

Added per-skill execution flags `SkillDirty(1 To NUMSKILLS) As Boolean` to the `t_UserStats` type to track modified skills without schema changes.

Persistence Optimization: Batch replacement of inventory skins using asynchronous execution #1228 (Morgolock)

Removed per-item searches using `Database_Queries.Exists(...)` and per-item calls to `Database.Execute` within `SaveInventorySkins` in `Code/CharacterPersistence.bas`, replacing them with a batch strategy.

Skin persistence optimization: unique key and batch UPSERT #1229 (Morgolock)

Added the migration ScriptsDB/20260208-01-inventory skin unique index.sql which deduplicates inventory_item_skins, keeping the row with MAX(id) by (user_id, skin_id), and then creates a unique index uq_inventory_item_skins_user_skin on (user_id, skin_id) within a transaction.

🎮 Client Support for Disabled NPCs in BattleServer #759 (Temis-gt)

The DisabledInBattleServer property has been added to the client's NPC data structure as an Integer.

The logic for counting and displaying NPCs on maps has been adjusted to respect this flag when the client is running in BattleServer mode.

Impact:

In normal builds, the behavior remains unchanged: all NPCs are counted.

In BattleServer builds, NPCs with DisabledInBattleServer = 1 are excluded from listings and counts.

Add SUPERFISH_MESSAGE to Language Files #758 (Aledg994)

A new localization key, SUPERFISH_MESSAGE, has been added to Languages/1.json (Spanish), Languages/2.json (English), Languages/3.json (Portuguese), Languages/4.json (French), and Languages/5.json (Italian).

This string provides an in-game fishing message that instructs the player to press the P key when the marker is in the green zone to catch a big fish.

Display NPC Drop Probability in the Map Interface #760 (Aledg994)

The QuizaProb field has been added to NpcDatas and loaded from resources so that NPC drop probability is available at runtime.

The lblPercentageDrop tag has been added to frmMapaGrande, and its visibility and text have been updated when listing NPC drops (calculating the percentage with Round(1 / QuizaProb * 100)). It is cleared when previewing or clearing.
