@Artemius_I, I installed the Shade Lord component and fought him. Even though I was a mage (no Shadow classes in my party) I got the special dialog and gained the abilities after the battle. Is this correct or should this only happen for one of the Shadow classes?
Fixed. Not sure what went wrong, but the Shadow Orb needed updating anyway so I decided to just make things easier on myself. The Shadow Orb is now a conversable item instead of a quickslot item. I have tested it and it works now.
Fixed. The Shade Lord was checking itself for 'Shadow Adept' status rather than the player character. Non-shadow adepts will no longer see the extra dialogue options.
Probably beyond the scope of your support, but on my heavily modded game, while the shadow orb works and the class changes, the character doesn't receive any of the kit abilities, nor does that dialogue to select spells work. On a simple install with just Shadow Magic installed, all works perfectly.
The only mods that I can imagine touching any of the files are refinements, scales of balance, strategems and Klatu Tweaks, and ATweaks. Everything else mostly touches cosmetics and UI.
I've compared the docs between the two installs and all *appears* to be the same. Any idea what could be misfiring on the heavily modded game?
The most likely cause is an outdated qd_multiclass.tpa resource in some other multiclass kit mod. I had to make personal updates on the file but installing any mod with one that isn't modified in the way may cause issues with the changes I made. Try and copy the qd_multiclass.tpa file in the lib folder into any other mod that contains it and reinstall every mod - if it's possible. I know heavily modded installs can be rather risky to change.
This install runs fine with no errors or warnings. In game, however, there's an issue with the kit change. The class/kit name changes but that's it. Nothing else fires so no spell select dialogue or kit abilities.
I've run into a weird mod conflict error between SCS and Shadowmagic on an EET install I'm working on.
I'll include the bits and pieces of the debug file from Shadowmagic, and the install error itself along with me weidu log.

I've managed to recreate this same error a second time using an EET install that was only Ascension, SCS and Shadowmagic. (Ascension was included only because of the dependencies with SCS).
Now. I dont actually know what all of this means. It seems like there's an issue with the modding of the hpclass.2DA related to the string HPFMC. I assumed that relates to a Fighter/Mage/Cleric multiclass, but I was told that's just HFMC and not HPFMC. So Maybe I'm wrong about that?
It's trying to call an HP table that doesn't exist. I got the same error but forgot to report it. What I did to fix it was copy the HPFM file into the override and then rename it to HPFMC.2da

At the risk of sounding a little defensive I have to ask: how much would you need before this mod qualifies as 'extraordinary'? The spells and classes are pretty much refined and set in stone. I foresee no major changes regarding the mechanics and any further gameplay updates will probably just be bugfixes, new spells and the occasionally rebalancing of original spells. The stronghold is the only major thing TBA, but that's a side project that the mod doesn't depend on and will still take a very long time to complete regardless. So, if you're expecting the mod to be of acceptable quality, I don't see a reason to wait - it is complete, for the most part. Anything I do from now on is just a bonus.
Alright. This is compatible with "Tome and Blood", correct? If it is, I'll be more than happy to install it right now and give it a go. I can get back to you with feedback as well.
This mod looks interesting enough that I'm gonna scrap my current scs game and try this mod out. My question is, I use BWS to install everything I want and this mod isn't included in BWS. You reckon it'll be alright to install this mod after finishing a BWS install?
For the record, I just finished playing the quest portion of this mod and thought it was extraordinary. It does a great job at adding bits to some areas of the game that needed some love. Props to you Artemius.
I think this mod is wonderful! It adds nice classes and is very fun. Just note that BGEE, the quest pack is hard if you start it as soon as you can (1st or 2nd level).
Attempting to install a freshly downloaded 1.9.14 on a freshly installed Siege of Dragonspear 2.3.67.3 results in the following error. I've checked the download for the file "c0nvamp1.cre" that the error log complains about, and it is indeed missing from the subfolder "spells" of the main folder "shadowadept". After a search of the entire mod's folder structure, no such file appears to be present anywhere within the download:

Nice. The saving throws show as listed now, +2 for an 18 CHR, but I am still not seeing the damage resistance modifier on nightsinger's character info sheet. Under resistances it still shows as none. It looks you have it set up for an 18 to knock off 5% of everything but physical damage.
[EDIT] I just had a question - playing as a Shadow Disciple, how do I scroll to the right to see the rest of my shadow spells? There is no scroll arrow unless I completely rest and then select my main char again, but then after he casts, the scroll arrow is gone again. I have spells that I cannot select due to not being able to scroll to the right of the menu. Besides that, it's fine.
[EDIT] This may have to do with a module conflict if you're not getting the same error through testing. I have a hunch it may be "Tome and Blood". Also, spell icons not properly showing up through the contingency spell could be another cause.
Getting back to this mod. Having played it and I'm loving it. It's fantastic. You've done an amazing job on every part of it. Thank you!
