Projects
Create, import, build, and launch O3DE projects.
The Projects page is the landing view of OPAL. Every project you’ve created or imported lives here. Each card shows at a glance what state the project is in and what actions are available.
Status badges
| Badge | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Not built | Gray | Project exists but has never been configured or compiled |
| Building | Blue (animated) | A build is in progress — logs are streaming |
| Built | Green | Build is current — click Open to launch Editor |
| Build failed | Red | Last build errored out — View Logs to diagnose |
| Open | Purple | The Editor is running for this project right now |
| Missing engine | Yellow | The engine this project is pinned to isn’t installed |
Actions per project
Every project card has:
- Launch — opens the Editor
- Build — queues a build using the configured build command
- Gems — opens the per-project gem editor
- Settings — opens the project settings dialog (engine pin, build command, CPU cores)
- View logs — shows the most recent build logs
- Open in file system — jumps to the project folder in Explorer/Finder/your file manager
- Remove from OPAL — removes from OPAL’s list (does NOT delete the folder)
