Pathfinding and Behavioural logic, you should check out Path and Behave. Both solutions work on indie and pro Unity and in webplayer and stand-alone.

They are available on a show-logo license and alternatively a paid license. Example projects with all source and resources are also available for both projects.

For steering AI, UnitySteer would be your match - a port and adaption of OpenSteer, this open-source project will run on any configuration - in any Unity version. This project also comes with examples. OpenSteer is open source on an MIT license.

cross reference. For own thread on pathfinding see: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/9025/pathfinding-tools-in-unity.html (sorry, haven't checked if there's anything new in this link, just for convenience...) Greetz, $$anonymous$$y.

For networking you can take a look at the SmartFoxServer API for both regular Unity as well as iPhone. The Unity API comes with 4 tutorial projects, sources for the tutorials as well as the API itself.

You will need both a server (found here: www.smartfoxserver.com) as well as the client API for Unity (here: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/labs/API/)

While looking around, I've found an older list of 3rd party add-ons from the Unity site, including GuiX and UnityDevelop

Thanks Jens, I was unaware that the external lightmapper had been released. I'm very much looking forward to the cutscene editor as well.
