v1.5.0

Auto-motes — chat keyword → auto-fire an emote

Type a word in chat and emot3 plays the matching emote for you (e.g. type "lol" → /laugh). Set trigger words per emote in the Catalog tab; tune everything else in the new Auto-motes tab:

• Pick which channels are watched (local, party, map, squad, guild, whisper).
• Limit where it fires by map type — open world and/or instances (never in PvP/WvW).
• Off by default, with its own minimum interval on top of the global send throttle.

Requires the free "Events: Chat" addon (jsantorek/GW2-Chat) to read chat. Everything else in emot3 works without it.

Rebuilt emote catalog

The whole catalog was regenerated from the GW2 API + wiki, so names, commands, and unlock info are accurate and current — and it's now produced by a repeatable generator, so future game additions are easy to fold in. Each emote can now surface its wiki link ("Copy wiki link") and unlock item, right from the editor.

"When emotes can't be used" — your call, per Quickbar

Split into two clear pieces:

• General › Sending — the global block (mounted, airborne, and, with the RealTime API, swimming/downed/gliding/…) plus the airborne and precise-detection toggles.
• Quickbar tab — how this Quickbar shows a blocked state: Grey out, Hide the bar, or Show normally. Travels with each Quickbar preset.

🔧 Improvements

• Settings survive updates. Your settings.json and emote catalog now migrate forward automatically instead of resetting when the format changes.
• Smoother & lighter. Catalog, Quickbar, and palette rendering were reworked to cut per-frame hitches, especially with large catalogs and the /me-motes editor.
• More reliable. Fixed a crash that could occur when reloading the addon, and "Events: Chat" is now detected the instant it loads (no more waiting for your first message).
• Polish. Tooltip and wording cleanups across the options, plus refreshed English and German translations.

➕ Plus

• Opt-in "Notify about preview / beta builds" so Plus users can hear about new betas.
