I have one party member who is a 28-> 34 Archer->Cleric dual-class, which enables him to get all Druid and Cleric spells.
He has 35 spells known at spell level 6, but I can only scroll to spell number 32.

ToBEX is 0.21.11.6

Ok, Im nobody to help.. but the new version of ToBEX (22) says somthing about spell caps.. this could be a randomly stupid post (Im sure it is) and probably has nothing to do with what your asking... but it might? As it sounds like the new thing they added.. similar to what your asking.. but then Im a idiot lol.

BTW (OT but similar)I also noticed that there needs to be a scrollbar on the spell memorized side as well, as some combination of items lets you learn more spell then you see.. that is if you have more spells of a level then you see.. you can keep adding them (you wont see it) but the sound will clue you in to what your adding in the spellbook or cleric spells. For example if you are high level and have a item the doubles your 1st or second level spells.. you cant see all the available slots..

Anyway.. check out that new thing the ToBex mod adds.. as it at least sounds like its involved with something similar to what you ask..

You might have missed it totally because your GUI doesn't show the fact, but you can scroll at least one side of the spell memorization window WITH TobEx... but not without it.

What 10th is saying has nothing to do with the memorization, but selecting the spell after you right click the quick spell slot in the main game window(where you move the character too).

Erm, no.

What I'm saying is:

ToBEX enables you to scroll the right side of your spell book, be it arcane or divine, where your known spells are located.
This enables you to memorize spells that were inaccessible prior to ToBEX, as they were outside the clickable/visible area in the spell book.

Due to various mods the spells available for memorization for a Ranger-Cleric combo at spell level 6 number 35 spells. Which translates to 9 rows, that I should be able to access by using the scroll feature of ToBEX.
Unfortunately, I can only access 8 rows, as I'm unable to scroll further down.

I can access those omitted spells, BUT ONLY IF I disable some other spells via exclusion flags in Near Infinity. Which defeats the purpose of having a scrollable spell book for lots of spells.

EDIT: After checking in-game, it also happens on any other spell level with more than 8 rows worth of spells.

Lol, I can't do maths.
int nValues = pCre->m_KnownSpellsWizard[pWizSpell->currLevel].GetCount() / 4;
if (nValues % 4) nValues++; //should be pCre->m_KnownSpellsWizard[pWizSpell->currLevel].GetCount() % 4
  if (nValues < 6) {
    CUIButtonMageBook_KnownSpellOffset = 0;
  } else {
    CUIButtonMageBook_KnownSpellOffset = min(CUIButtonMageBook_KnownSpellOffset + 4, 4 * (nValues - 6));
  }

So, considering nValues is the number of rows. 35 / 4 = 8. 8 % 4 = 0. 8 rows.
Corrected: 35 / 4 = 8. 35 % 4 = 3. 9 rows.

Thanks for the find.

Just in case it gets fixed a new release, can I simply plop a new detoured.dll into my BGII - SoA folder?

Edit: with translates to 9 rows I didn't mean 9 full rows, but 8 rows at 4 spells each, and one "incomplete" row with 3 spells.
Moreover, that figure is by no means the maximum.

I only have TDD, CtB, DSotSC + NTotSC installed from the bigger mods. There are afaik a few more spell slinger mods out there.

Could you extend the scrolling to both sides of the spell book (spells known AND memorized spells)?

You can plop a new TobEx.dll into the game folder. detoured.dll isn't required anymore.
You might get some warnings with the latest test release, but that should be OK.
