checkmate 1.14.14

• Bind no longer disappears from tracking after every damaging hit. Hover explains when damage may have broken it.
• Display reset now resets Escape closes overlay. Target details and copied text keep their ages current.

checkmate 1.14.8

• Added Show skill status in overlay under Blue Magic. It is off by default.
• Each BLU spell can show Skill met, Skill too low with your current and required skill, or Skill unknown. It updates as your actual Blue Magic skill changes.

• Added Escape closes overlay under Display > Overlay options. It is off by default.
• When enabled, Escape hides the overlay during combat too. Your next check brings it back, and saved readings are kept.

checkmate 1.14.6

• Target details refreshes after label or abbreviation edits. Settings search finds spell names in immunity help.
• Reduced idle work in BLU move tracking.
• Merit rows now mark manual differences and explain whether a rank changes estimates or is for reference. Restore game ranks supports Undo, and the reset menu names the autofill option it restores.
• Blue Magic separates Learning chance from Unresisted spell chance, folds detailed learning requirements, and makes hidden chat and overlay rows clearer.
• Added optional compact tab navigation. Open and closed settings categories stay with the character across reloads; search expansions stay temporary.
• Added Merits with one zone autofill switch and collapsible categories for supported ranks. Manual skill and stat choices replace the observed merit bonus instead of counting it twice; server stat replies stay unchanged.
• Merit ranks are read even while their display rows are off. Effects and pet estimates use the selected ranks for new observations while keeping existing snapshots intact.
• Blue Magic now shows Learning chance, the current learning gear bonus and the conditions for an eligible attempt.
• Fixed the + and - buttons in the compact Display layout so rows close and reopen. Layout controls stay open while searching, and clearing the search restores your previous selection.

• Show overlay offers Off, Any targeted monster and Only after checking. Remembered checks control whether a checked monster shows again when retargeted.
• Added Reset... with Reset this tab and Reset all settings. A full reset asks before restoring the current character's settings and clearing remembered readings and Undo history. Saved profiles and other characters' settings stay as they are.
• Added Clear all rows to turn off every chat and overlay row without changing other preferences. Undo last change restores the selection, and the game's own check line stays visible when every chat row is off.
• Monster opens the shared Target details view instead of repeating the full lists below its settings. Blue Magic's readout and spell finder now give their separate unlearned filters clearer names.
