Patch 0.15.0 (10/10/26)​

Read the upgrade process before updating an existing project.

Animation (reworked) — Animation Layers guide · Animation Service

  • enhance: agents animate through a stack of layers built at runtime, instead of an Animator Controller. There is no controller to assign, copy or edit
  • enhance: added the layer profile, an ordered list of layers each with an Avatar Mask, so an action can drive part of the body while the legs keep walking. Carrying no longer needs a full set of core animations per carry style
  • enhance: added a Layer dropdown to every animation group on a behaviour tree node
  • enhance: added an Animation tab to Civil AI module settings for the profile, the core selector and the blend times
  • enhance: changing between core animation sets now crossfades rather than snapping
  • enhance: pausing holds every agent's pose as it is. A seated agent stays seated
  • enhance: added an Animation section to the agent inspector showing the core group, the locomotion blend and every layer's clip and weight
  • enhance: added Validate Animation Setup (BardTreeLtd/Civil AI) to report missing profiles, unknown layer names, clips without Loop Time and prefabs still naming a controller
  • enhance: a saved agent now restores mid-animation, held poses included, rather than restarting the clip
  • fix: idle clips on core animation groups now play. They were being dropped, and every agent idled with the built-in clip whatever its group said
  • fix: rotate clips on core animation groups now play when an agent turns on the spot. There was nowhere for them to go before
  • fix: the value handed to the rotate animation is now a signed turn rate rather than a heading

Interrupts (new) — Interrupts guide · Interest Spots · Service Points · Interrupt Service

  • enhance: added interrupts. Something in the world can take an agent off what it is doing, play a short reaction, and put the agent back on the step it left
  • enhance: added Interrupt Kind assets, each with a tier for how forcefully it may cut an action short, a weight and cooldowns
  • enhance: added a Reactive mode to the Behaviour Tree Editor for reactions any agent can play, and a Reactive tree dropdown in Civil AI module settings
  • enhance: added Event Kind to duty and need method nodes. A duty or method with one is left out of the normal order and runs only when its interrupt is accepted
  • enhance: added interest spots, where passing agents may stop to look at something on their own or gather as an audience
  • enhance: added service points, where staff leave their work to serve whoever is standing at a counter, the player included, and return to the task they left
  • enhance: added mark groups, standing places with a facing that agents take one each
  • enhance: added the Go to Interrupt Target action and the FACE_INTERRUPT_TARGET look option
  • enhance: added an Interrupts section to Civil AI module settings
  • enhance: added an Interrupt Scene example, generated from the Example Scenes window. See Example Scenes
  • enhance: an action with an unknown action type now fails with a warning. The agent used to wait on it forever
  • fix: an agent's status kept reading as going to work after it had arrived
  • fix: unpausing an agent that had no action raised an error
  • fix: agents placed in a scene by hand stood and walked without their idle and walk animations until their first action finished

Mounts & seats — Mounts and Seats guide · Mount Reconciler

  • enhance: agents stay seated between actions. An agent that rests and then eats on the same bench sits down once, and stands up only when its next action needs it to
  • enhance: added a Mount setting to every action node (Auto, Keep, Unmounted) for the times the automatic choice is wrong
  • enhance: an action with a POI action sits the agent down when the item has a mount, so a Locate with an eating POI on a bench is performed seated
  • enhance: added Performed Standing to an item's Action POIs, for the ones done beside a mount rather than on it, such as loading a cart
  • enhance: a seated agent keeps its seat only when the next action could have chosen it. An action asking for a chair at home stands the agent up from a public bench and sends it home
  • enhance: agents skip a mount with no seat free and walk to the next one, rather than walking to a full bench and giving up
  • enhance: Dismount on an agent that is already standing now succeeds
  • enhance: the Current Action section of the agent inspector shows the action's Mount setting, and says when the agent is standing up first
  • fix: a Mount on an agent that was already seated played no POI action
  • fix: a Mount that failed or was abandoned part way kept its seat reserved, so no other agent could take it
  • fix: an agent could stall part way through a blended mount and stand beside the seat for good, when the seat was further from its mount location than the arrival tolerance covered
  • fix: an agent saved while sitting now loads back in its seat, and can stand up from it. The seat had been saved as a position in the scene hierarchy, which did not survive agents being spawned in a different order
  • enhance: seats gain a Persistent Id the first time they run, so they can be named by saves

Item Setup Editor (new) — Item Setup Editor guide

  • enhance: the Hold Point Editor is now the Hold tab of Item Setup (BardTreeLtd/Civil AI/Item Setup), beside a new Actions tab for what agents do at an item
  • enhance: add, place and remove an item's Action POIs in the preview, choose whether each is done at its own point or at the item's use spot, and edit its animation there
  • enhance: create a new Action POI type from the editor. Existing POIs and Action nodes keep their meaning, and an open Behaviour Tree Editor picks it up at once
  • enhance: add seats to an item to make it mountable, with mount and dismount locations, the control seat, arrival tolerance, transition style and the getting on and off animations
  • enhance: set Performed Standing on an Action POI from the editor
  • enhance: preview an action standing, seated, or as a whole mount, action and dismount, with the agent moved between the mount location and the seat as it is at runtime
  • enhance: show items in the agent's hands while it plays, placed by their hold points as the runtime places them, so a carried item can be checked against the pose
  • enhance: the gizmo can work in the point's own axes or the world's, toggled with X in the viewport
  • enhance: timeline playback no longer resamples the pose faster than the preview can show it, and pauses while the window is hidden behind another tab
  • fix: gizmos and point markers no longer draw over the timeline, toolbar or sidebar, or react to the mouse there

Patch 0.14.0 (17/09/26)​

Barks (new) — Barks guide · Bark Service

  • enhance: added barks, short lines agents say on their own as text above the head, audio, or both
  • enhance: added the Bark Editor for building a General bank of bark collections, with weighted lines, requirements, probability and cooldowns
  • enhance: added Add Bark Collection to job nodes, creating barks that only that job's agents use
  • enhance: added Block Barks to behaviour tree nodes, keeping agents quiet while they're in that node
  • enhance: barks give way to conversations, and agents stay quiet briefly after a conversation ends
  • enhance: bark audio plays in 3D from the agent, with a pitch per agent and a limit on how many play at once
  • enhance: added a Barks tab to Civil AI module settings
  • enhance: with CIVIL-DIALOGUE-SYSTEM installed, barks use its overhead text bubble and settings
  • enhance: added a Barks example scene, generated from the Example Scenes window. See Example Scenes

Hold Point Editor (new) — Hold Point Editor guide

  • enhance: added the Hold Point Editor (BardTreeLtd/Civil AI/Hold Point Editor), which previews an agent holding an item through any frame of an animation without entering play mode
  • enhance: add, move, rotate and remove agent slots and item hold points in the preview, with undo and redo, then save them to the prefab or scene object

Inventory — Agent Inventory guide

  • enhance: when an action names no slot type, agents put an item in a free slot the item has a hold point for, so an item set up for the off hand goes to the off hand
  • fix: items are now held by the hold point labelled for the slot holding them; previously, when an action named no slot type, the first hold point authored on the item was used whatever its label

Requirements & conditions — Requirement System guide

  • enhance: Job Equals now picks from the jobs in the work tree and matches by job id, so renaming a job no longer breaks it
  • fix: sorted the requirement window closing itself a moment after opening
