Spectacular mistake. I require the aid of supernerds :)

I had a crash, and I've reported my specs and stuff, so that is not the focus of this post. The crash happened during an autosave, which I then loaded because I didn't want to redo some things. The save looked fine, I thought. Well, the thing is, it's not fine. I'm now out of the Underdark but for all intents and purposes I might as well have just broken out of Irenicus' prison, because the world is so totally reset.
I don't know any world map locations except WK and Athkatla (which I had to enter through the gates) and those the elves showed me. I go to the slums and Gaelan offers to hook me up with the Shadow Thieves. I've also lost everything I stored in containers in my backpack. My romance variables seem unaffected, however.
I could shrug all this off, yeah it's funny but I'm almost done with SoA and I just need to kick Bodhi's bony ass. Yet when I go to the graveyard district she doesn't greet me, much less vampirize Neera (and yeah we're in luv). So I'm thinking I can't progress past this point. CLUAConsole or EEKeeper, whichever you want, you point I punch. I would like to have the Temple Ruins back on my world map too for restoring Neera later.
Many manhugs.
(other chapter 6 features are here though, like the gith wanting the silver blade and Ribald offering his special items)
P.S. Imoen is at the CC. I'll make a normal save here, and for a three digit number of internets I will return to take her to Spellhold to rescue herself.

I don't care to have EVERYTHING fixed, of course. Firkraag can be alive and offering me quests for all I care. I just want things to proceed as normal when I go to the graveyard district.
What you're probably looking for are the Global Variables. I assume what's happened is that the Global Vars that keep the status of the game have somehow gotten reset. There are CLUA:Console() commands to get and set globals:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", [Chapter Number]) : Advance to Chapter X
Example - CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", 2) Would advance to Chapter 2
CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", [Chapter Number]) : Advance to Chapter X
Example - CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("CHAPTER", "GLOBAL", 2) Will display current GLOBAL setting
Don't know if this would be helpful, but there's also:
CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("[Area Name]")
To get into a specific area...there's another one I don't have off the top of my head which allows you to set the entire map as explored...allowing you to get to where you need to go.
So I would ASSUME a fix would look something like setting the global for the chapter you're in (to ensure that the game knows you're in Chapter X), then exploring the map to open up the area where you're supposed to be able to get to, then moving to that area to begin the next part of the main quest line.
If there isn't already a saved game attached in the other reported thread could you zip up and attach the one you're working with that is borked so we can get a developer to take a look at it? They can't help you fix it, but it might help them track down and crush the bug that caused it.
Wow, it actually was that simple. Bodhi is molesting my Neera now, I'm so happy! Well, in a way.
I could share the save but I don't think it'll be very useful. A save before and one after the bug perhaps, but all I have are saves 30 minutes past it.
For clarification, all I had to do was set the chapter to six. Thought I was there since the journal said so, but hey
WHAT EXACTLY did you do!
That's going to be a HUGE HELP to debugging this thing. And since setting a global DID in fact help, yes, even a save 30 minutes past with the problem occuring might be helpful. Please zip it up and post it here.
(P.S. Many hats off for that Neera/Bodhi scene, devs)
