Introduction
This mod will add various clerical spells to wizard magic users via a new
item, effectively turning them into previously unavailable X/Cleric kits /
multiclass combinations.
The original readme is available for
reference as well and contains information on the exact effects of the mod.
In case of conflict, trust this document over the old readme.
Compatibility notes
Generally speaking, this mod should be compatible with virtually any
other decently made WeiDU mod in existance. In over three years, no
incompatibility has been reported.
However, the mod can be used only if you have access to either Waukeen Promenade and/or the Pocket Plane; if you cannot, you can use the following CLUA console command to start the mod:
Installation
Windows
To install the mod, extracted the archive you downloaded to your BG2
installation directory using WinZIP, WinRAR, or the `Extract To...' wizard
from Windows XP.
If properly extracted, you should have a semi_multi_clerics folder,
setup-semi_multi_clerics.tp2 and setup-semi_multi_clerics.exe in your BG2
folder. To install, simply double-click Setup-semi_multi_clerics.exe and
follow the instructions on screen.
Please re-run Setup-semi_multi_clerics.exe in your BG2 folder to
reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.
Macintosh
If the mod was previously installed, uninstall it before extracting the new version. Semi Multi Clerics is packaged and installed with WeiDU. To install, simply extract the contents of the mod into your BG2 folder. If properly extracted, you should have a semi_multi_clerics folder, setup-semi_multi_clerics.tp2, Setup-semi_multi_clerics, and Setup-semi_multi_clerics.command in your BG2 folder. To install, simply double-click Setup-semi_multi_clerics.command and follow the instructions on screen.
Linux
Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from
weidu.org and extract (at least)
the WeiDU, weinstall and tolower executables in a $PATH directory (E.G.
/usr/bin).
Following that, open a terminal, cd to your BG2 installation directory,
run `tolower' and answer Y to both queries.
You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it
once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered,
so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either
if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lower cased file
name.
If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe
bet.
After that, run 'weinstall semi_multi_clerics' from your BG2
installation directory to install or uninstall the mod.

Contact Info:
Since the original author has disappeared from the modding boards, customs
dictate that I can only fix bugs and add translations, but not implement
new ideas in the mod. Hence, I can't satisfy feature requests. On the other
hand, bug reports and compatibility problems are welcome.
The method of contacting me I prefer is via
the forum.
If you'd rather PM or email me, keep in mind that sometimes I reply with
insults when I receive modding related stuff on private channels, as opposed
to posts in the public forums, unless there's a really compelling reason to
this. If you insist, my e-mail address is available in the tp2, and I
regularly read PMs at all the major BG2 comunities.
