🎬Cinematic Cut-ins v1.7.0: All-Out Global Layers, Audio Only Mode & Actor Groups

v1.7.0 is a significant update focusing on versatility and workflow improvements. From "Audio Only" triggers for immersive soundscapes to a robust "Actor Group" system for easier management, this update gives you more control with less effort.

✨New Features

⚔️ All-Out Global Layers

• Unified Visuals: Global layers are now fully supported in All-Out Attack mode, allowing for cohesive screen-wide effects during your ultimate moves.

• Immersive Scale: Enhance the spectacle by layering environment effects (rain, embers, speed lines) behind your character's decisive strike.

🎧 Audio Only Mode

Sometimes, less is more. You can now configure triggers that play sound/SFX without any visual interruption.

• No Visuals: No letterbox bars, no character art, no text overlay.

• Pure Immersion: Perfect for environmental cues, invisible traps, or mental whispers where you only want the audio feedback.

🎭 Banner Mask Mode

• Dynamic Shaping: Custom layers can now be masked to fit the shape of the theme's background container.

• Perfect Fit: This is especially useful for "paint splash" or "torn paper" styles, ensuring your added images don't bleed outside the thematic borders.

  • Note: Some themes with skewed backgrounds (e.g., Blitz, Brush) may cause the masked image to appear tilted.

👥 Actor Groups & Default Presets

Managing large casts of NPCs just got easier.

• Group Assignment: Assign actors to specific groups (e.g., "Goblins", "Guards").

• Fallback Logic: If an actor doesn't have a specific preset for a trigger, it will automatically use the Group's Default Preset.

• Bulk Management: Quickly assign groups to multiple selected actors from the Control Panel.

⚡ Enhanced Resource Triggers

• Custom Max Value: You can now specify a static number or a property path for the maximum value in resource triggers.

• System Agnostic: This unlocks support for systems with non-standard resource structures or custom attributes that don't follow the value/max pattern.

🛠️Improvements

• Roll Keyword Compatibility: Restored and improved keyword detection for chat cards. It now scans more content sections, ensuring reliability across different system roll templates and custom descriptions.

🐛Bug Fixes

• Image Mask Aspect Ratio: Fixed an issue where masked images would sometimes lose their proportions and appear square. The mask now respects the intrinsic ratio of your image.

• Theme Defaults: Fixed a bug where default sound/SFX settings weren't applying correctly when selecting a theme (like Rebel) for the first time.
