Documentation

Welcome to the OPAL documentation — the reference guide for installing, configuring, and using OPAL, the O3DE Project Asset Launcher.

If you’re brand new: start with Getting Started.
If you just want a feature rundown: see Features.
If something’s broken: jump to Support below.

How this is organized

Each major area of OPAL has a root page that orients you, plus categorical subpages that go deep on the specific tasks in that area. Start at a root page and drill down as needed.

Sections

Getting Started

Install OPAL, run the first-time wizard, install your first engine, and launch your first project — end to end.

Engines

Install O3DE from the launcher, manage installed engines, build from source, and prune what you don’t need.

Projects

Create, import, build, run, and export projects. Status states, run states, and missing-engine recovery.

Assets & Gems

Browse the Asset Library, configure gems per project, and manage repositories, local gems, and watch folders.

Queues

Download and build queue controls: pause/resume, reorder, parallelism, speed limits, and schedule windows.

Logs
