Changelog

[0.3.2] - 2026-07-13

It's important that you rebake any UNCell data (use the commandlet) as calculations and existing data needs to be rebuilt.

Added

• UNOrganComponent now have both Context Tag and Tag Counter requirements.
• UNOrganComponent Direction Mode (ENOrganDirectionConstraintMode) selecting the reference point a cell's directional constraint measures candidate bearings from, per-organ: Start Bone (default, the original behavior), Organ Center (the volume's geometric center, falling back to the start bone when unbounded), or Dynamic Centroid (the running centroid of already-placed cells, falling back to the start bone before the first cell is placed).
• Quick Assembly workflow on the World Assembly editor-mode toolbar: select a target UNOrganComponent from a dropdown and start/cancel an assembly operation in place, with an optional Auto Assembly mode that re-runs on a configurable timer. Adds World Assembly (User) settings Load Level Instances, Auto Assembly, and Auto Assembly Timer.
• NEXUS.WorldAssembly.Flag.Hotpath assembly flag for creating pathing feedback post assembly in both the ANCellLevelInstance as well as junctions.
• INCellJunctionFiller interface for filler objects to implement to get callbacks when used to fill empty junctions.
• UNPickerSettings project settings (Project Settings > NEXUS > Picker, stored in DefaultNexusGame.ini) exposing point-projection configuration: Trace Complex, Nav Query Extent, Nav Agent Radius, and Nav Agent Height.

Changed

• UNWorldAssemblySubsystem::IsReady() now UNWorldAssemblySubsystem::IsReady(bool bWaitOnStreaming = true) defaulting to waiting for level streaming to complete.
• ANCellProxy now hold and pass to ANCellLevelInstance information about UNCellJunctionComponent and their linkage.
• FNMersenneTwister Double/Float/Integer minimum default values now properly negative by default.
• FNMultiplayerUtils::GetPlayerIdentifier now returns -1 when the PlayerState is not available.
• ANPooledActor renamed ANPooledActorBase.
• Clients with BeginPlay flagged UNOrganComponents will not generate without authority.
• FNGameplayTagCounterConstraint defaults the comparison value to 0 if the tag is not found.
• FNGameplayTagCounter no longer floors counts at zero; the mutation API (Add/Subtract/Increment/Decrement) now produces signed values, keeping operations losslessly reversible and consistent with GetDifference/Combine.
• Created UNMersenneTwisterObject to hold a twister to be used for deterministic random in a wider scope, Blueprint-exposed under the NEXUS|Core|Random category (Seed, Random Bool, Random Bools, Random Integer In Range).
• Consolidated Twisted to Next concept/naming.
• Cell junction Requirements now respected, weights for junctions are automatically doubled when they are Required.
• UNTextRenderComponent now warns about replication instead of setting it, with a toggle.
• UNMultiplayerLibrary::KickPlayer is now BlueprintAuthorityOnly; the Blueprint node only executes on the authority.

Fixed

• Crash when displaying collision visualizer twice in a level.
• ANWorldAssemblyRelay now properly responds to IsReady (ANCellLevelInstances now register appropriately when on clients)
• Macros for PostEngineInit for modules now function properly during teardown.
• Bounds and Center on FNRawMesh now initialized at creation (no more garbage memory comparisons).
• FNMultiplayerUtils player-lookup helpers now guard against a null AGameStateBase, and HasWorldAuthority(const UWorld*) guards against a null UWorld, preventing crashes during world startup/teardown and on clients before initial replication.
• FNHashUtils::djb2 now hashes the string's UTF-8 encoding instead of truncating each TCHAR to its low byte, so non-ASCII characters that share a low byte (e.g. Ω and ©) no longer collide and FNSeedGenerator::SeedFromString gains full character information from non-Latin seed phrases. Pure-ASCII input hashes are unchanged.
• CellLinkDetails.bConnected will only be true connecting to another Cell.
• UNMultiplayerTestSubsystem now always removes its BeginStandaloneLocalPlay delegate binding when stopping, including on the editor teardown path where the previous guard skipped cleanup.
• UNBlueprintValidator now guards against a null Blueprint cast and null Node entries while iterating graph nodes, matching UNLevelBlueprintValidator.

Removed

• Junctions no longer store if they are inside of a hull.
• ANPooledActor from the placement pallete.
• ANCellLevelInstance no longer maintains state before the choice to place it in the graph.
• FNPickerUtils static projection configuration (CollisionQueryParams, NavQueryExtent, NavAgentProperties) replaced by UNPickerSettings.

0.3.1 - 2026-06-07

Added

• FNAssemblyGraphNodes now have a deterministic seed stored along side their generation, accesible at INCellInitialized time.

• TagCounters constraints and operations to UNTissue.
• Required ContextTags option on UNTissue entries.
• Both FNActorPool and UNActorPoolSubsystem gained the ability to ReturnAll/ReturnAllActors.
• FNActorPoolSettings now has a SupportFlags section, including ReturnAll.
• Added accessors to a global mutable copy of the Tag Counters and the Context Tags of a generation, with supporting Blueprint functionality.
• Added Maximum Node Depth and Directional Constraints to UNTissue definitions.
• Direction Tolerance setting (default 15-degrees, project-wide and per-operation) controlling how close a candidate's bearing must be to a UNTissue Directional Constraint to be placed.
• UNActorPoolSubsystem::GetActorPoolStats() returns Spawned/Available details for a target FNActorPool.
• FNReportListBlock now available in reports.
• Option in World Assembly project settings to enable output of status messages from operations to the log, normally only visible in the developer overlay.

Changed

• FNRawMesh collision meshes used inside of assembly operation tasks bake out their transforms.
• ANCellActor::AuthorTimeActors are no longer factored into spatial calculations for UNCells.
• GameplayTags renamed NEXUS.WorldAssembly.BuiltIn.* to NEXUS.WorldAssembly.Behavior.*.
• OutputTags was moved to a more encompassing ContextTags.
• FNGameplayTagCounter does not allow for negative counter values.
• FNWorldAssemblyEdMode::RenderCellJunctionPenetrationDistance now always renders the distance underneath the UNCellJunctionComponent.
• WorldAssemblyEdMode Collision Visualizer now tracks for changes in the level, accounting for its offset.
• Reworked FNEditorInputProcessor to not compare pointers, instead look at screen position and button presses to determine if the same.
• Cleaned up IsPointInsideOrOn for FNOrientedBoxPicker to be less-math.
• UNDynamicRefSubsystem::GetCount(NDR_None) will return 0 instead of -1.
• UNDynamicRefSubsystem now holds registered objects as weak references; it no longer keeps a UObject alive simply by referencing it, and entries are pruned lazily as objects are destroyed.

Fixed

• ANCellActor is no longer dirtied simply being opened.
• UNOrganComponent::Seed properly overrides Organs' assembly operation seed when value is not -1.
• Side-car NCell asset is not loaded during cook process, restoring determinism.
• UNOrganComponent custom-visualizer Generate button now refreshes accordingly after operations have finished.
• PktJitter setting now properly applied to clients in Multiplayer Test.
• HasSupportFlag_ReturnAll now properly queries SupportFlag.
• Protect against NSpawnActorBlueprintAsyncAction occuring after UWorld teardown.
• FNRectanglePicker no longer crashes in hollow mode when MinimumDimensions equals MaximumDimensions; FNRectanglePickerParams::GetValidRanges now falls back to the full rectangle instead of returning an empty range that was indexed out of bounds.
• UNDynamicRefSubsystem no longer broadcasts OnAdded/OnAddedByName when re-adding an object already present (a no-op AddUnique), keeping the add/remove delegate pairing symmetric.
• DynamicRefs developer overlay no longer leaks UNDynamicRefObject list-view wrappers for objects destroyed without removal; UNDynamicRefObject now prunes stale entries so emptied wrappers are cleaned up.
• UNGetActorBlueprintAsyncAction now guards against a null UNActorPoolSubsystem when unbinding its pool-created callback, matching UNSpawnActorBlueprintAsyncAction.
• UNGetActorBlueprintAsyncAction and UNSpawnActorBlueprintAsyncAction now complete (with a null result) and tear down when their soft class fails to load, instead of leaving the Blueprint latent node hung.

Removed

• FNActorPool::HasFlag_ShouldFinishSpawning, was allowing AActor to be left in bad states when disabled.

Removed

• UNWidgetEditorUtilityWidget no longer used to wrap content widgets, individuals should extend off UNEditorUtilityWidget instead.
• FNActorPool half-height calculations and offset (use FActorPoolSettings::SpawnTransform).

0.2.6 - 2026-01-20
