Is there any source on BGT chapter numbering? For example, if I want to say "after Underdark" in BGT environment, which value in GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",???) I should use?

 

Edit: actually now that I have thought about it: does BGT changes chapter numbering in BG2 at all, or it just builds up chapter number during BG1, then resets it, and builds up again from chapter 1 in BG2?

Here is my own homemade one I used developping my mod - hope the description make some sense to you (Disregard the last numbers, they are for EET which finally has a continuous numbering, hallelujah)

 

BG1
Chapter 1, escaping from Candlekeep. >>0
Chapter 2, outside but not yet in Naskel. >>1
Chapter 3, after going to Naskel, but before looting the chest in the Naskel Mines. >>2
Chapter 4, after that and before looting the Bandit Camps chest. >>3
Chapter 5, killing Davaeorn in the Cloakwood Mines should start the next chapter. >>4
Chapter 6, getting to talking to the grand Duke Elthan and taking to book. >>5
Chapter 7, after facing Sarevok first time. >>6
Chapter 8, the chapter changes after talking to Belt the last time >>7

8-14 Dragonspear

BG2:SoA
Chapter 1, Irenicus Dungeon >>15
Chapter 2, after you have heard the Shadow Thieves deal. >>16
Chapter 3, after getting the money and doing a deal with either party of the conflict. >>17
Chapter 4, Brynnlaw, Asylum, Sahuagin City >>18
Chapter 5, Underdark. >>19
Chapter 6, Out of the Underdark, hunt Lanthorn. >>20
Chapter 7, Suldanessellar. >>21
Chapter 8, starts killing Irenicus the second time.

ToB
Chapter 8 ToB until Oasis >>22
Chapter 9 Sendai, Abazigal, Balthazar >>23
Throne of Bhaal: DEFEAT AMELYSSAN >>24

another piece of *buggy, cheesy, unbalanced junk*

The use of chapter numbers twice is the reason you need sometimes use

!Global("endofbg1","GLOBAL",2) or GlobalLT("endofbg1","GLOBAL",2) for BG1

and

Global("endofbg1","GLOBAL",2) for BG2

if there is a chance for ambiguity.
