The concept is very good but the plugin is basically abandoned, you can't play a cutscene for the player via console (key functionality imo), you can't really make entities with custom data (it has a command for that, which doesn't work), and of course there is basically no support for the plugin.

I am using the plugin, but when I run a cinematic using mode C and smooth, I get kicked when I right-click or left-click during the cinematic. However, when I use mode A or B, it works without kicking me.

Here is what I see in the console:

[22:34:43 INFO]: inkoda issued server command: /cinematicstudio:cin play quest1_bandits_esprit
[22:34:44 INFO]: inkoda lost connection: Cannot interact with self!


I tried reaching your support on Discord, but I haven’t received a response.

Other than that, the plugin seems good, but there is no support.

Yes, they leave good reviews, but I think they should be given bad reviews.
I purchased this plugin when it was released in v.1.4.5, and at the time it was a really great plugin. It had all the features I wanted to implement cinematic cutscenes.
But that's not the case now.
Due to the recoding issue of the new version of the plugin, the v2.0 version is forced on 1.20 and above, but
Most of the features that were available in version 1.4.6 (particles, sounds, NPCs, etc.) were not implemented in version 2.0, and the patch that I finally received was a patch compatible with the latest version.
With most of the attractive features of the previous version not implemented in the current version, this plugin is not worth using.
Of course, I know that the developer had other issues (e.g. health issues), but the developer is busy updating his other plugins (Itemadder or CosmeticCore), and these plugins are taking a back seat. Even if you look at the Discord update notification right now, you can see that the update frequency of these plugins is overwhelmingly low.

When I first encountered a problem with the plugin and went to Discord to the ‘other-plugins-forum’ channel, I saw a post from someone asking LoneDev to pay more attention to this plugin.

In my opinion, it's fair to say that this plugin has been abandoned.

Anyway, here's my review.
The plugin itself works well. The v2 version of the cinematic cutscene is smooth, and everything from recording the player to inserting it into the cutscene is done.
However, the attractive features of v1 are not implemented in v2, and the server version cannot be over 1.19.4 to use v1.

Additional note: This is probably the first review I've ever written for a plugin I've purchased, and the first bad review I've ever written. I didn't want to cause any offense, and I was putting off writing this review because I thought about the hard work of the developer, LoneDev, but I think I've waited long enough, at least two years. I'm really sorry to the developer, LoneDev, but I hope you understand why I had to leave this review.

I tried running it on version 1.21.3 and it doesn't work at all. It was already the beginning of a disaster to entrust this plugin to this developer.

DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE: NO SUPPORT!!!!!!

[15:52:31 INFO]: [CinematicStudio] Disabling CinematicStudio v2.0.1-indev-1

bought this plugin 1 year ago with 1.19 and to date we still haven't managed to get it to work.

For a while there was an issue with not being able to run the latest version of the plugin, but we realized that there shouldn't be any spaces in the filepath and fixed it. Now I just wait for the latest version update.

One of the most attractive thematic plugins I've seen so far, looking forward to the latest version for this plugin :)

Very good plugin, does what it needs to do... However, I would like you to add that when the player is in another world, different from the cinematic one, make the plugin teleport the player to that world so that wherever he wants to go, the animation doesn't bug

the plugin works fine, but needs an update please............... don't forget this plugin

Nice plugin, Excelent for cinamtics in youtube series!!
if u need a plugin of cinematics, buy this!!

This plugin doesnt have nearly any feature after last update. The only thing it tries to do is camera movement and actors. It doesnt even support multiple worlds

It's been a plugin I've enjoyed very much so far... but to be honest, the indev version is a mess. It's too difficult, and the previous version definitely looks better. Please make the previous version work at least on 1.20.6.

Can't start on 1.21.1 even when I clean install. Support ignores the issue. Wouldn't recommend. Became a mess after v2

lonedevs pay more attention to the cinematicstudio plugin and a suggestion

Hello, I would like to make a suggestion, as seen in the new version of Minecraft Monjang added a new feature called "camera_overlay" that allows to put any image on the player's screen while they have something equipped on their head, I would like this to implement it in a plugin that Lone has really abandoned and costs money and I have paid for it and I have not had the best experience, it should be noted that it is a premium plugin that is not free and it should add a minimum of updates and that they do work since they have many bugs and they are not solved.
That's right, I'm talking about cinematicstudio, an amazing but abandoned plugin and it's premium and this shouldn't be like that.
Why do I want this to be added?
to replace the old function of changing the texture of the pumpkin so that some cinematic lines can be seen and it is something more custom and customizable since this mechanic is compatible with texturepacks.
WARNING
My intention is not to offend and for them to respond in a bad way, I just want this plugin to have more attention and the payment to be worth it.

so far its good but it currently doesnt work on 1.21 paper unless i am missing something? anywhoo its good

pls fix your bugs and add @a for play cinematic.
plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Now it works, the only thing that would make this plugin even better would be to make a /cinematic play @a or all command, 9/10 plugin

It won't even work, we updated everything, we changed versions, but the indevs won't work, its not even a single, two or even ten bugs, the whole plugin doesn't work. We are extremely disappointed.

the plugin is working fine, but it needs an update for 1.21 please...............

Paid plugin but doesn't work on paper. Waste of money. Add a fix for this and I'll change my rating

Please add 1.21 support. Plugin works good. I'd like to work with 1.21. I hope you will update it.

add the "cinematic play all "or "cinematic play * " command pls and the stop for all

It seems that there are no plans to support version 1.20.1.
Well, even if I want to use the latest version, I can't move on.
But I didn't expect anything

the plugin is incompatible with 1.20.4, contrary to what is written. It has various negative reviews about it and there are plenty of reports on github. the problem has been present for many months but is not being resolved.

I've tried everything, but what on earth do I need to do to get the latest version of the plugin to work?
server is 1.20.4 purpur

The consumption of the Plugin is excessive (without players it consumes a lot, even with a powerful machine). The dev said he was going to fix it, but I see that he gives priority to other Plugins or generating money. The latest versions (they don't even work, even if you put LoneLib, it explodes). I want you to fix it once and for all. And make it stable, because when you run an animation the consumption of Ram and CPU goes through the roof.

latest versions not working, doesnt enable!!!!!
........................................

not working every single version, plugin is not enabling with all dependenies on serv

I've tried everything, but what on earth do I need to do to get the latest version of the plugin to work?
server is 1.20.4 purpur

I've tried everything, but what on earth do I need to do to get the latest version of the plugin to work?

good plugin easy to use but I can see boat when play cinematic and command cann't execute in console pls fix. <3

Love love love love love this plugin! LoneDev keeps blowing me out of the water each time with every project that's released! still trying to figure out how to get rid of the boat that's in view but other than that. awesome plugin!

Very difficult to use since it has many limitations in each frame. This plugin needs a lot of work to make it functional. Furthermore, it has excessive consumption with 1 user and without being used, when it should not consume anything.

There are a lot bugs, first of all. Regions are extremely buggy, then out of nowhere when i turn on the letterbox a pumpkin appears out of thin air following the camera and it just looks horrible. I hope all of that gets fixed because we really need to make cutscenes for our server,Also fix the camera movement since the camera can move, and plsss add stop and play command for all players that they are playing.

THANKS FOR UPDATE !!! :) ...........................................................

I really like this plugin and I hope to share it on the Chinese Minecraft forum ( https://www.mcbbs.net) so that more people can see it. Then, I will provide the Spigot resource address so that they can only download the plugin through Spigot.

I love the plugin, but it seems like its using some older functions for minecraft that wont work anymore. For example the middle click, you cannot detect it anymore, however you still need to middle click to edit npcs, ect... Also I would be cool to have a support discord server, where the comunnity could help out if anyone had any questions, as I see no place where anyone can share any problems they had.

I love the plugin. Though I would like my players to see the cinematic with a command, not just upon joining or entring a region. Also I would be cool to have a support discord server, where the comunnity could help out if anyone had any questions.

great plugin, but would be better if command didnt open menu after using /cinematic play... someone deleted some of my cinematics >.< plllls can you fix? or make so we have option to disable dui after its finished playing

Good Plugin, but if the enetity can support Custom Model that from ItemsAdder or ModelEngine will be better.

Such a good plugin, but there still is an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException with the /cinematic play

I don't know why to have the texture pack, if you can't put the pumpkin with any command.

Java11 support is awesome!!!
But also hope that the Pixelmon entity, changed to other species

This plugin is good so far, but the only drawback is that it does not support Java11 and entities like Pixelmon and some permission errors
I'd be very grateful if this could be fixed

This version works well. I hope it goes well without any other problems in the future.

Static call to ItemsAdder in the Msg.java class without even putting it in the plugin.yml as a dependency!!!

This plugin has worked perfectly for me and I like that it fulfills its function, I hope to have compatibility with 1.19.4 as soon as possible, because it is essential for my CinematicStudio

All the errors that are happening now seem to be related to LoneLibs please update soon it seems to be working fine before

author do not respond to any issue on github and not bothering to fix any.
When running the cutsence for the second time, the player get kicked

on 1.19.3 if a player talks during a scene all players get kicked
0 support. Do not buy!

so many bugs

and unfriendly API introduction
Just to introduce how to import
「Import the JAR into your project and use this class: dev.lone.cinematicstudio.api.CinematicStudioAPI」

If there is a better API introduction and bug fixes after the update, then I will consider giving 5 stars, I believe you can :)

Disclaimer: I personally think this is a 5 star plugin, however that would be if a major bug was fixed.

TL;DR Wait until 1.4.4 before buying!

You can currently make cutscenes and it works great! The tools you have on hand are very powerful! However, while you can make the cutscenes currently you can't allow players to even watch them as it opens the edit menu as soon as its done thereby cutting off whatever events you have planned for the player right after. Luckily, this problem will be fixed in 1.4.4 (the next update).

The plugin is okay. It works and it does its job, though there's some bugs. For now its 2 stars, I hope they get fixed and I'll change my review.

-blackbars don't even work. (They work but only if you're making a video so might as well just add in blackbars whilst editing, because with gameplay it doesn't work - you have to replace players head item for it to work)
-region triggers work weird and glitched out the server, was stuck in a loop
-sometimes after the cutscene the plugin sets your movement speed to 0

Features id like to see
-A discord channel. There's no channel in discord for this plugin, so you cant ask simple questions quickly you annoyingly have to register on a forum website to ask simple questions.
-Currently you cant break lines for new messages (effects: send chat message) so lets say you wanted to implement npc icons into chat and you want the NPC to speak whilst the cutscene plays, you cant break a new line you have to make a lot of "&f" blank spaces to move up the chat in the intended place.
-No hex codes in (effects: send chat messages)

Great plugin! It allows very smooth movement which is presize at the same time. I like that the plugin features a timeline, similiar to softwares like Blender, which makes it easier to work with. Also the smooth movement mode, which was added by LoneDev is very performance-friendly and works perfectly without any flaws! 5/5 Stars!

I'm really happy to have an ia developer that I recognize take over. I hope for good development in the future.

This plugin has a lot of potential and is pretty powerful! I only wish that NPCs could take the skin of the viewer for self-insert cutscenes. If this is possible let me know!

Does what it is waited to do, hope to see more options for the cinematics throughout the updates !

I bought 2 nasty plugins from that creator, another moron who listens to others, and doesn't even ask anything, doesn't check the facts, doesn't give a reason.. and bans me from the discord server, this plugin is trash just like him and his support, oraxen is mine way, until this moron calms down and listens to me, I don't care

Dangit LoneDev I just got this plugin after i got one of yours little to know of course your taking it over well i think its in good hands good luck

much love m8 <3 -DDigitall

I was very sad that the plugin was no longer developed. But that now LoneDev one of the most famous devs on spigot takes over the plugin, just shows how much potential the plugin has!

I look forward to future updates, thank you for continuing to work on it.

Intuitive and easy-to-use plugin. But, imo it will be good if the camera movement is more smooth. And how can I get a cutscene with black bars?

Es el mejor plugin que puedes tener si tienes servidor rpg o parecido esta muy muy bien las cinematicas van totalmente bien. Soporte 10/10

Realmente es un plugin que debes comprar.

Gracias Lone :)

Lone you are just amazing. Thankyou for taking this on. There was a time I was staring at it for my RPG server, but when it stopped updating it was a sad day... BUT THANKYOU LONE

Thanks for updating this awesome plugin. Waited for the past week just to buy it now, right after the 1.19.2 support <3

Outdated no support for new version. I hope for further updates but it doesn’t seem like it

Add support for 1.18.2 for 5 stars pls I`ve updated my server and I can´t go back

If this plugin would add support for 1.18.2 I would give it 5 stars. But now that I've updated my server and can't go back the plugin throws errors and barely works. If support is added, I will rate higher.

Everything in the plugin works fine, but the npc skins dont work, they're pretty important if you want to make cutscenes with NPCS. Bought the plugin on March 17th, the message that this plugin no longer provides
support wasn't there. The dev is ignoring me, I currently don't recommend buying this.

If the Dev can't provide support, I recommend making a discord server, the plugins community it self could provide support.

Excellent tool, however, beware that suspending the camera in the air if a player is not in flight will cause very noticable jitter as the server attempts to keep the client still.
The developer has yet to accept my Discord request, and I have just recently seen that it's not now supported.
Beware of buying this resource, but it is an excellent tool.

Amazing plugin! So far everything is working well minus the region triggers, don't seem to be working correctly in 1.18, can't get them to trigger at all!

Extremely nice plugin! I love the client sided NPC feature. Great for making tutorials for new players! Great work!

Lag every time I move, the player screen will jerk and it's not as smooth as other plugins I've used

I am in love with this plugin! I can't wait for the 1.17 update
It's super easy to use and the timeline is PERFECT.

Needs custom skin from url and as Met_Sama said custom entity models implementation would be amazing to have but other than that incredible plugin outstanding work and I hope you continue to update and support this plugin you have no idea how useful this is for my server lol.

very good plugin and easy to use. not 5 star because at the moment you can't use custom skin via url for the npc's. if would be cool to even add support for custom entity models created using model engine.

This plugin is amazing! It lets you do things in Minecraft that were never possible before. It is so good! It does take a little while to figure out though because there is no proper tutorial. The problems are that you can't use skin links, you have to use usernames. You also can't add your own music. If those things were added this plugin would be perfect. But all in all, this is an incredible plugin, and I recommend everyone try out this plugin! Seriously it's amazing!

This plugin has everything I could ask for. My only request is that I could change the NPC skins through an image URL instead of just by a username.

Excelent plugin!! Now I can make more interesting stories for my quests. I love it. Please add support to SkinsRestorer <3

Very Good plugin.I didn't think plugin like this should sell only 7.99 eur
It very useful.
Thanks you :)

A shockingly great resource with an amazing dev. Totally exceeded my expectations.

Very nice Plugin! Great GUI and very Userfriendly once you're in it. I hope the Author keeps adding Support for other Versions, 1.13 is already in progress as readable in the Updatelist.

Nice plugin! Author was quick to help me with my questions. I really hope the author keeps working on this plugin so that there may be more features in the future.
