This should hopefully be fixed as of version 1.0.2! Try doing it again now. ;-;

Noticed when starting a new game this mod caused an NPC named Mardek something or other to be part of my party (acted as if he was the main character, could not dismiss him or anything), also when I used the skillbooks they gave me "Shade Shift" not "Phase Shift," the skill costs 2 AP and does not apply Haste.

I have a suggestion as well: it looks like your mod's skill uses the same hotbar icon as Tactical Retreat, perhaps giving it a different or more distinguishable icon would be helpful for those who already have Tactical Retreat (even a simple hue change on the icon to something darker). Just pointing these issues out in case they're not exclusive to my situation.

Thanks for working hard to get the DOS2 mod community rolling!

Yeah, @ EDGE I've somehow went from literally trying to make a mod to place a simple book into a chest.

To quite literally making a "addtional companion-on-new-game" mod. Modding...It's a horrifying thing.

I've decided that, since I've noticed, if I simply don't use chests and leave them out to the public in general and add them to already existing traders, there'd be no issues to begin with. ;-;

As for that , I've fixed the Phase Shift Display and usage indicators. It should be exactly like Tactical Retreat now but named Phase Shift rather than Shade Shift.

And as for that suggestion? I'm actually going to make it the Erratic Wisp Status Icon, or something. I'm not sure how to add in icons right now to change such a hue thing, else i would!

But these issues definitely have to be there for everyone else. I still fail to understand how trying to shove a book into a chest made this happen.

Haha, how true. I'm not much of a modder myself, but if I've learned anything from tinkering with Skyrim for so long, its that one drop can cause quite the ripple in the grand scheme of things. For these frustrations I've fancied myself more of a writer and artist in terms of development, and usually leave the programming aspect to people with more of a right-brain orientation.

At any rate, it just so happens that this mod like this one, as well as the Void Knight mod, are integral to my ideal style of playthrough, and I'm glad to offer any feedback or suggestions that I can in helping it reach its full potential. I'll re-subscribe to your mod to see if the changes work on my save and get back to you with the results.

Also, as far as the icon is concerned, if you can locate the image file for the icon you prefer to use, I can make adjustments or alterations to better suit your mod. Just let me know if you can get your hands on the image file and send it my way, if you wish. I can even make one for you from scratch if you can find the dimensions and file type. As a matter of fact, if you ever need some creative or artistic assistance in your future endeavors, I would definitely be willing to collaberate. DOS2 has an incredible amount of depth and benefits greatly from creative customization; and I have many ideas.

Thanks again for your efforts!

I've finally fixed the issue with Madek, mind you and thanks for your suggestions, @EDGE ! I could potentially actually use your help with my Spellsword Skills Mod later, if you're more than happy to oblige to such assistance.

But yeah! I've fixed up the mod finally in as much of a sense as I could.

thanks for the update i wanted to use the mod but it was killing my lone wolf playthrough i will check it out now

Exactly the mod mages were needing, but seems to break my lone wolf playthrough, in that my companion no longer follows me and I can't interect with them, also, needs a more Aero Icon

Yeah, I'm waiting until Patch 4 to come out before resuming work on the mod. but I actually have someone working on custom icons for me! So look forward to that!~

I'm also pretty sick right now, so that'sanother reason I'm taking a break.
