This is from DSimpsons walkthrough:
"To create a Multiplayer
game just click the Multi Player button. At the next menu click "Connect".
Now you have to set the type of Multi Player (the top button), using Serial
is fairly easy (although it requires that you have some Networking
installed...) Now click "Create Game" (whenever you are playing by yourself
in the Multiplayer always use "Create Game", never use "Join Game"!). Name
the session to whatever you want, and enter in your own name. Finally click
"New Game". Now you can create as many characters as you want. Then once
they are all created, click the little skull icon by each created characters,
and then click the "Done" button. Voila!"
Once you have your new players in a multi game, you can just move the save game from MPSave to the single player saves folder & play your team in single player mode.

As a note here, I could only get BG1 or BG2 to correctly start a multiplayer game (even one with only myself) with a Serial Connection, COM1 port, and 38400 speed. Any other settings either wouldn't start correctly, or would crash the program. This is on Win7 64, btw.
For "real" multiplayer with other folks, you'll probably need to use GameRanger or something similar, as BG's multiplayer is notoriously bad about refusing connections.

When you click on "New Game" it appears to freeze, but after 10/15 seconds it continues on.
It has to be in windowed mode & have a firewall exception.

I'll threadjack a bit...
1. Is it possible to mix self custom MP NBPCs and the game's regular NPCs?
2. Can I kick MO NPCs out of the party and re-recruit them later?

Yes. I just create multiple characters & then play them in a single player game, so you can't recruit them later (without shadowkeeper)
I would think you could do it in a multiplayer game, but I'll leave that for someone who's done it, to tell you for sure.
