Code:
mob/verb/save()
   var/savefile/F = new()
   F << usr     //write the player's mob
   usr.client.Export(F)
   usr<<"\blue<u><i><b>Saved!"

Well, for one, you did not specify a file name. Secondly, I think you may want to use brackets just in-case you need to save something extra later. So, try
mob/verb/Save()
    src<<"Saving..."
    var/savefile/F=new("[src.key].sav")
    F["Mob"]<<src
    src.client.Export(F)
    src<<"Saved!"
mob/verb/Load()
    src<<"Loading..."
    var/T=src.client.Import("[src.key.sav]")
    var/savefile/F=new(T)
    F["Mob"]>>src
    src<<"Saved!"


It could be something wrong with your Read() and Write() proc if you have overwritten them.

it says
insert proc.dm:944:error:src.ckey.sav:undefined var

Yes, he made the brackets too early. Instead of [src.key.sav] do [src.key].save .
Between, you don't need the src. I think...

Well, it should actually work...

Yeah, I ended the brackets too late, but apparently, you can't import files like that. Anyway, this should work.
mob/verb/Save()
    src<<"Saving..."
    var/savefile/F=new("[src.key].sav")
    F["Mob"]<<src
    src.client.Export(F)
    src<<"Saved!"
mob/verb/Load()
    src<<"Loading..."
    var/T=src.client.Import()
    if(!T) return
    var/savefile/F=new(T)
    F["Mob"]>>src
    src<<"Loaded!"

As far as going to a different game and saving files to your computer, I don't know if it will work.

client.Import takes a query string. I believe hublib documents this in hubmsg.dm, but I'm not sure.

Audeuro what do you mean?

Look up Import (client) in the reference. It says this is the prototype:

'Import(query)'

Then it describes the query, saying that it's documented in hublib.

If you happen to be using Deadron's saving system by any chance, the proc to call for saving is base_SaveMob()

In response to Sinoflife
That will be server-side saving unless that proc is modified

No, he's saying that it takes a query string. If no other games you play happen to be using client side-saving, nor any of the other games that the players of your game play use client side-saving, then you're fine using the following like stated before, but you've obviously not tested it.
mob/verb/Save()
    src<<"Saving..."
    var/savefile/F=new("[src.key].sav")
    F["Mob"]<<src
    src.client.Export(F)
    src<<"Saved!"
mob/verb/Load()
    src<<"Loading..."
    var/T=src.client.Import()
    if(!T) return
    var/savefile/F=new(T)
    F["Mob"]>>src
    src<<"Loaded!"


He's also stating to look up hublib as the details of the query string are supposedly listed in there. So, study it. all you have to do is read.
