Now, BWS is dead. The future is Zeitgeist and/or Project Infinity, and Roxanne's BWS clone is actively maintained. So I'm no longer restraining myself from improving my mods' structure.
If the "EET Install Tool" is Roxanne's zombie BWS, then Roxanne will have to add support for the Multi Sorcerers component. I think Project Infinity and Zeitgeist will handle it automatically.
Innate find familiar: Regardless of making a single or multi-class mage, it never shows up in the innate powers. Does this happen at a particular level?
Bonus spells from high intelligence: How does it work with the modded spell progression tables from Tweaks anthology?
Arcane crafting: How does it play out with levels and such? Start with scribe scrolls. What about recharging and the other crafting options? They don't appear even at level 20.
Innate cantrips: Again, they don't show up for me. Single or multi-class mages. They should be in the innate powers from the start, yes?
I've tried EEKeeper to add experience to then manually level up. Also added stat tomes to see if the bonus spells show up.
Multiclass sorcerers can now be installed in EET install tool. Thanks.
Just a question, how does Tome and Blood work with SCS? Does the Revised Specialists, the multiclass sorcerer, or spell select dialog change how SCS handles AI? I was thinking that spell select dialog and multiclass sorcerers might not be accounted for in SCS's party AI and that revised specialists might affect enemy ai
Playing around with the multi-sorcs. A Sorc/Cleric is crashing to desktop as soon as I click on the "necklace" to pick spells. clean install, bg2ee. started in ToB in case that makes a difference.
Edit1: Adding to this. Uninstalled than reinstalled the mod, but this time just the Sorc component and all was well. Prior install had (if I remember correctly), magus, favor soul, , #5 from the meta magic component, innate cantrips, revised specialists. Not sure if I also did ability score bonuses
Edit2: did a re-install of just meta magic #5 and multi sorcs. Crash on on F/S and C/S when using the necklace
The metamagic component was written (or at least envisioned) a bit before I had a working release for the Spell Selection Tool. I'll write something up to run both through the same function so they play nice together. Will take a day though, busy day.

@kjeron Thanks for that! Only weird thing is, when I click on a spell's icon to learn it, it does not appear in the box below. However, the 'memorize' button gets greyed out, and the 'cancel' button changes to 'done,' and when I finish and check my spellbook I do have the spell and I can cast. So everything works, it's just a bit of a visual glitch.
Found a few errors (Still not certain about the icons missing yet).
I also needed to make a slight adjustment to SEQUENCER_MENU.tpa (something I had disabled, fixed, but not re-enabled), (v.56)

Okay, Missing Icons - SPWI101M.SPL (and similar) don't have any icon specified at 0x3a (spellbook icon).
Since these are the spells actually getting sequenced, their Icon is the one that get's displayed below.
Something else:
The dialog selection component in TnB is zero-ing out SPLSRCKN.2DA before the multi-class sorcerer component gets to run, but not telling it to use the copied version "QD_SPLSRCKN.2da".
Add this to the function call:
spelltable = ~QD_SPLSRCKN~
Or, for better compatibility, make another copy of SPLSRCKN for the tool at the same time:
ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~SPLSRCKN_BACKUP.2DA~ BEGIN
COPY_EXISTING ~SPLSRCKN.2DA~ ~override/~SPLSRCKN_BACKUP.2DA~
END
(or are these two components not meant to be installed together?)
(If I'm misunderstanding or overthinking this I apologize - I'm having trouble focusing right now).
I installed Tome & Blood and it's working great so far in BG2 2.5, but I came across something that I can't find reference too very easily: I made a Sorcerer/Cleric and my Quick Spell slots are grayed out. They just don't work at all, as if I don't have access to spells via those buttons. All my spells work fine (for Priest and Sorcerer), but I also noticed that my character won't cast sorcerer spells on his own. He'll cast priest spells with the AI on, but not any sorcerer ones. I have to do that manually each time. Yes, I have made sure that using special abilities is checked, and he does use other special ability powers, but none of the sorcerer spells are getting used. So I'm wondering if it's because of the sorcerer multiclass hack? Just curious.
Sorry if it's been asked, but I really couldn't find anything on it.
Experiencing compatibility issue between TnB 0.8.32 and SCS 32 beta 10. It only appears when I have TnB installed.
Edit: This appear in "Initailise AI" component of SCS

If I install mods that add kits for mages (Alchemist) and Sorcerers (Chaos Sorcerer and Palemaster), what install order should I use? Would TaB come first or last in install order for the kits?
Hi Subtle. Just wanted to let you know the EET install tool does not show the option for multiclass sorcerers when choosing mods to install. Would this be an issue on your end or theirs?
Depends on how you look at it. I spent a LONG time refusing to change the component structure of my various mods, because new components would not be available to BWS and nobody was maintaining BWS to adjust it to my mod changes.
Now, BWS is dead. The future is Zeitgeist and/or Project Infinity, and Roxanne's BWS clone is actively maintained. So I'm no longer restraining myself from improving my mods' structure.
If the "EET Install Tool" is Roxanne's zombie BWS, then Roxanne will have to add support for the Multi Sorcerers component. I think Project Infinity and Zeitgeist will handle it automatically.

Got all my questions answered very quikly, well done.
@subtledoctor Will you be creating a readme for your version of the mod?
