What about the last component "COMPONENT 95: Ability Score-Based Bonus Spells"? Is it working?

Last I checked.  I'm playing a game with it right now.

@kjeron any idea why, when I set up a spell-learning system for sorcerer spells, it doesn't show an icon in the "learn" box when I select a spell and click "memorize?"  Here's the code:

EDIT - now I am seeing the icons. Don't know what the problem was, I might have been overwriting them...?

...

In other news, aside from that little invisible-icon thing, I have re-engineered the multiclass sorcerers component from the ground up, and it is now fully working, 5th-level spells and everything. What's more, I've off-loaded a bunch of it into some portable functions, so I should be able to use this as a base for e.g. re-engineering the shaman-style casting in FnP.

Unfortunately, since the new system is new, it now longer works with the sorcerer spell-switching component and it breaks the Man Sorcerer component. So still more work to be done before I can release it for general use.

So. Got a question. Apologies if it has already been answered.

 

When I make a necromancer, the only special abilities I see are craft item, spont casting and rebuke undead (though it says Quick Weapon, clicking on it starts the effect and it shows up on the character page.) I see nothing about any of the touch attacks. Is there something I'm missing by chance?

[subtledoctor]

Still gotta find scrolls to learn the ability. 

[subtledoctor]

Okay, I've updated the mod to fix the multiclass sorcerers' spell learning and casting. All of that code is tightened up, and it is more compatible with other similar applications such as clerics' spontaneous casting in Faiths & Powers, and the broader 5E spellcasting conversion mod.

NOTE: trying to fully integrate the Mana Sorcerer kit ended up being a ton of extra work for little or no added functionality, so I couldn't justify it. The Mana Sorcerer still works, and is still interesting, but notably the Mana Sorcerer will not get spell-switching like other sorcerers, if you happen to install that option. Sorry - my gas tank is empty.

Once again, this update makes major changes to the "semi_spontaneous" library of functions (now up to 0.7 internally) which is shared by several mods. If you use these features of the update, then you should update all of the following mods that you may be using:

• Faiths & Powers (to 0.79.27 or later)
• Tome & Blood (to 0.9.13 or later)
• Might & Guile (to 4.12.2 or later
• Scales of Balance (to 5.32.1 or later)
• 5E Casting Conversion (to 0.9 or later)

Cheers.

Notably, while those functions were first designed for 5E-style casting, they now also support full sorcerer-style casting. So if you want to make a multiclass fighter/dragon disciple kit, or something like that, it is now pretty easy to do so. The actual code needed is pretty sparse - after adding the kits themselves, the code for one multi-sorcerer kit looks like this:

Hmm. From the scrolls? Ghoul Touch, Vampiric Touch, Chill touch scrolls have no learn spell button on them. Could that be another mod conflicting?

Might need to use them from a quickslot. Honestly I forget. But if another mod changes those scrolls after this one, then that might mess it up, yes. 

[krazedhermit]

Kay. So. Testing tome and blood, I install just it on a fresh install of BG2EE. I give the character scrolls of chill touch, ghoul touch, vampiric touch. Put them in the quickslot.. Nothing. At no point can I write the scrolls to the spellbook or anywhere else. Any ideas?

I apologize if I'm being a pest.

Hi again. I wanted to try out the "Multiclass Sorcerers" component (even if you said it is not correct working).

I saw that there are some spell included in the sorcerers spell list, which i think should not (Chaos Shield/Improved Chaos Shield) and some are not included which should (Dimension Door). And when i install other mods with new spell, these are also not castable.

Is there a file, where you can add/remove spells, before you install the component (so that they are selectable)?

I just installed the mod V0.9.13 with a blank BG2EE an noticed, that the "COMPONENT 45: Arcane Crafting" is not selectable during the installation. And i was not able to install the "Multiclass Sorcerers" component because of errors (i will install V0.9.12 of the mod until this is fixed).

Ya, we've had reports that it isn't working so i disabled it for the moment.

Whoops, looks like unlucky 13 was a dud, fixed now in v0.9.14.

Looking at the code (for the first time in several years), it looks like e.g. scrl82.itm should have a 147 effect letting you learn "d5nect1.spl" which is the new innate version of Chill touch. So you should theoretically be able to learn it just like you learn other spells. s long as some other mod hasn't messed with scrl82.itm. And as long as the game lets you use opcode 147 to learn innate abilities (which I think it does, I tested this way back when...)

If you want, you can edit /tomeandblood/comp/setup_specialists.tpa and delete lines 713 to 718. Then install the mod, and you will get the innates automatically at certain levels (1/5/9, or something like that).

I think.

[krazedhermit]

So edit the .tpa before installing it into the game? Like extract the files, edit that, put it in the BG directory, then run the .exe? I can do that.

 

[krazedhermit]

Well, well, well. That worked! Thanks bunches!

[Guest RelentlessImp]

Attempted a fresh install of just Tome and Blood 0.9.16, just Sorcerer content + Ability Score Spells, on both IWD:EE and BG:EE. Something funky happens now; straight Sorcerers don't get their spellcasting initialized, so they can't pick any spells. Multisorcerers get the ability, but it doesn't function, and it has a dialog.tlk error:

(In IWD:EE it reads "Ettin".)

[Guest Cdds]

@subtledoctor do you know if the Arcanist spells work with the spell refreshment from iiSpellSystemAdjustments (resurrected igi's Spell System Adjustments mod). That mod works fine for regular mages and sorcerers in current-patch BG2EE, but afaik the Tome&Blood Arcanist is using a custom spell system (spells that activate the actual spells?). Thanks!

[Endarire]

How does your Revised Specialists component interact with your 5e Casting Mod?  What's the best install order if using both?

Thankee!
