I am not sure where to post this so I thought i would try here as many of the mods I have installed are from this forum

I keep getting ambushed by a group of "shadows" a couple of human types (inc a
magic user & fighter), a fire elemental, some earth elementals some golems ( Iron & adanamite) approx 6-8 in total they buff like mad ( all you read is "shadow cast protection from, shadoe cast blade barrier, shadow cast ect ....)and then they spawn again. I think the repeate spawn thing is a bug as I have gotten 30-40 of these @#$%^&^% after me and I can't keep up even if I ctrl Y them ACK..........

they have always attacked in waukeens at night, I thought they might be a new part of tactics but uninstalled most of that mod (toughest encounter segments)
and they still came, read through the "read me" portions of all the mods and can't find them referenced any place.

I have a bunch of mods and I want to uninstall whatever mod has these twits
as part of the program and reinstall it.

I fought them once in a previous game with a high level party and killed off the first spawn right off the bat ( cast time stop and my fighter/mage did them in)
They are hell on a lower level party


Any ideas ?????

HELP

Ah, I believe that's Kensai Ryu's Deeper Shadows of Amn coming into play here. First I've heard of a respawn bug on it though. I take it you're using my version of the mod? The in-game solution is to go and kill the ShadeLord. From the readme:

Location in Game:

Tombs under the city, 8 hours after you have been there and cleaned
out the undead mummies living there. If you have not been there
previously, you must first kill the mummies and then wait 8 hours
(game time, go sleep 1 time and you are good to go). If you have
been there previously, and the mummies are already dead, you must
first enter the area, then leave and wait 8 hours, before the cres
will spawn, since the new timer is not saved in your savegame. Rewards
include some magical items, and lots of money and a few good scrolls.

Note: This is also recommended for lvl 15+ parties, but you can try it
at any level, after you have cleared out the mummies. Not as hard as
some of the other stuff I have done, but still fun.

If you want to just stop the spawning so it runs the single time it should, console this:

SetGlobal("KR_Appeared_SHADOWS","GLOBAL",1)

Now, if you want to just end the damn thing, console this global:

Global("KR_SHADE_LORD_DEAD","GLOBAL",1)

I don't know why you're having the infinite spawn, but obviously some variable didn't get set correctly at some point. Likely a quick departure of an area at a critical time or something. Anyways, enjoy whichever solution and hopefully we can do that pint next time.

thanks for the shadow party response
I have lots and lots of mods installed all "should" be compatable but
I have notice that from time to time something goes silly and the respawn thing
occours (wiemers drugers/buggers followed me out of the dungeon and
then showed up evey time I slept

also had double merchants from time to time

Planers sphere mod as well

uninstalling and reinstalling sometimes works or clean install with
different order on installing the mods

I will make sure that I am using your version but I think so as I found it
from this forum

Thanks
