The PO Editor is the official web-based client and debugging tool for Project-Override. It is NOT a visual representation of the game world as a player sees it, but a direct, real-time visualization of the server's state and physics simulation. This server-centric view allows for unparalleled power in world design, live debugging, and system management.
To begin, enter the server host address (e.g., lab.oppermann.nrw:3000), provide
your
credentials, and click Login. The interface is divided into three key
areas:
The toolbar in the top-left controls your cursor's action in the 3D world. You can switch
between
selecting, adding, cloning, or removing entities, as well as powerful block tools for world
building like Add Block (E) and Remove Block
(R).
Camera modes (Flat, Free, Play) in the bottom-right allow you to switch between an orthographic map editor, a free-orbit debug camera, and a player-follow camera for testing.
Right-clicking on entities in the world or items in your inventory opens powerful context menus. You can instantly inspect an entity's components, trigger interactions, manage inventories, or use/equip/drop items directly from these menus.
The primary tool for debugging. Select an entity in the World tab to see all its components. Click any component name to open a full-screen JSON editor, allowing you to modify its data directly. You can also add or remove components on the fly.
This panel in the bottom-right gives you single-click access to the most common GM actions. Modify stats, give items, teleport entities, freeze AI, manage quests, and even execute raw server events with the powerful Call Action (Event) tool.
A dedicated interface for creating and editing complex items. Manage base properties, equipable stats, weapon attacks, recipes, and shard logic through a clean, tabbed interface instead of raw JSON.
Design server-side logic sequences for any entity. Using triggers like INTERACT
or
DIED, you can build a drag-and-drop list of actions (e.g.,
SHOW_DIALOG, GIVE_ITEM, START_QUEST) to create
complex
NPC behaviors, traps, and quests.
Visually design entity decision-making with Behavior Trees in the AI Studio. Test combat balance with the Combat Simulator, which allows you to configure an attacker and defender, run single or bulk attack rolls, and see detailed metrics like Average DPS and Hits to Kill.
The PO Console is the primary web-based administration interface for Project-Override. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for real-time server monitoring, database management (CRUD), and live game master (GM) operations. Unlike the PO Editor, which focuses on a visual, in-world state, the Console is your hub for high-level control over users, worlds, and live server instances.
To begin, use the server address to access the login page, provide your administrator credentials, and click Sign In. The interface is organized into logical sections in the sidebar:
The dashboard is your landing page, offering key metrics like the number of Online Players, Active World Instances, and Active Parties. Each statistic is a direct link to the relevant monitoring page for more detailed information.
This section provides a live, auto-updating snapshot of server activity, allowing for quick assessment of the server's state.
From the Monitoring > Active Worlds list, you can open a powerful management console for any live world instance. This is where most GM actions take place:
The Management section allows for direct manipulation of the database. You can create, view, update, and delete core game data.
User creation is a key feature, involving the creation of a Console User (for login), a User profile (the game account), and linking them with an Identity. This system allows a single game account to be accessed by different providers, such as Steam or a console login.
