Tutu/BGT Stuff

Do Globals in the BG1 portion of the game carry over into the BG2 section?

 

I'm thinking of converting a BG2 NPC mod into a Tutu/BGT NPC mod.

Yes, on BGT installations, globals are carried over between the games, so a global set in the BG1 portion of a BGT game can be called in BG2. The same cannot be said of Tutu. When a player imports her character from Tutu into a BG2 game, the variables are not transferred.

Well there goes that idea.

If you really wanted to go for something like this, you or an interested party could write a custom utility (mod) to install on BG2 that would load up information from a save file from Tutu or even BG1 that would allow you to change the BG2 world based on choices made in BG1. It might even be possible to generate a new BG2 save file from scratch, filled with characters and variables (perhaps after adding a prefix) from a Tutu game, to take the place of the whole importing process. Of course, this kind of stuff can be done in BGT right now without the hassle but, to my knowledge, nobody has attempted it.
