How does the "/cinema" command work?

    Simple question, but impossible to figure out, I looked everywhere and all the places that this command shows is so broad it's ridiculous.

    /cinema cinematicPath

    That's it, no example. No idea where it the path starts and I been tackling this for 10 minutes and still nothing.

    I want to play the "splash.cinematic" file, the one used for the Chucklefish intro. I was planning into modifying it and I want to know how to trigger it in-game so I can also figure out how to use the command with future cinematics.

    I tried
    /cinema splash
    /cinema splash.cinematic
    /cinema cinematics\splash
    /cinema cinematics\splash.cinematic
    /cinema Starbound\cinematics\splash
    /cinema Starbound\cinematics\splash.cinematic

    All it says is "Exception caught handling client command." Really?

    How does the command structure ACTUALLY work?

    Hello !

    I've found it after some digging in the assets (there's an example in client.config around line 60 for ex) :
    /cinema "/cinematics/loading.cinematic"
    /cinema "/cinematics/teleport/teleport_human.cinematic"


    After that I've been sort of stuck in the cinematic and had to close the game window, but it works :) If anyone knows how to escape the sequence, I'd love to know.

    Thank you! I'm been trying to figure this out! It seems that certain cinematics like "teleport_human" and "loading" can't be skipped and it seems that might be the reason why you can't get out of the cutscene.

    EDIT:
    Uh oh, I realized I should've never had done the "/cinematics/splash.cinematic" it did the famous chucklefish intro, the n it opened the loading screen? Now I'm softlocked....great
