Cinematic

v1.8.56 (2026-10-23)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Nameplates: the game's own nameplate settings now stay as you set them across logins. Cinematic used to switch nameplates back on at every login for each kind ticked on its Nameplates page, which also undid a names-only setup (a unit with a nameplate shows no name over its head). Ticking a row on the Nameplates page still switches that kind's nameplates on

• Chat: Show speech from behind you is now off by default (tick it on the Chat page); unticked, its choices grey out, as does the Chat bubbles page's Behind you section. It now shows beside the chat window by default (on its left if chat is on the right of the screen) and moves with it, lines lining up with the side nearest chat. The Move box stays open while you drag it: left-click sets the spot, right-click puts it back beside chat. Chat bubbles: Text only is now off by default, and Behind you's Tail on top is on

• Tooltips: a new "Hide when the mouse is still" slider at the top of the Tooltips page hides a tooltip in the world or on a unit frame once it's been up that long with your mouse still (10 seconds to start with, up to 30, or Off). Move the mouse and it comes back. Like the rest of the page, it works only in CineMode with the page turned on

• Chat: speech from behind you. A say or yell with no bubble on your screen (the speaker is behind you, or out of view) now shows as a bubble low in the middle of the screen instead of bringing up chat, in your chat bubbles' look (Text only, outline and size from the Chat bubbles page). New options on the Chat page under "Hide speech you can see as a bubble": Show speech from behind you at the bottom (on), with a Move button to drag where it shows, Show who said it ([Name] says:, on) In class colour (on), and Also while chat is showing (off). The Chat bubbles page has a new Behind you section: Rise up from below the screen (on), Size (90%), Opacity (80%) and Tail on top (off). Says and yells from behind you no longer keep chat up in busy places, so it fades again after you mouse over it. /cine debug speech shows a sample line and prints what happens to each say and yell
