I would have put this under newbie central, but considering how confusing the swap maps system by Lummox Jr is, i put it here.

Can someone post a section coding that will make my game save its map automaticly, and load its map automatically, using swapmaps? I cant get it to work. And Lummox, if you read this, put some bits of coding in swapmaps (like at the bottom in the /* */ things) that are just basic plug in and use things? I probobly just made a simple mistake, but it is a confusing system.

You are right that this should be in newbie central, or even off-topic.

However, the easiest way to save your maps automatically is to loop through swapmaps_loaded.

for(var/swapmap/map in swapmaps_loaded)
    map.Save()

I could have the variable mispelled, and possible the function capitalized when it shouldn't be, but that's the gist of it.

I use SwapMaps too this is how I got it to save..
mob/Login()
    ..()
    map = SwapMaps_Find("hq_[src.ckey]")
    if(!map)
        SwapMaps_Load("hq_[src.ckey]")

mob/Logout()
    src.SaveChar(1)
    if(map) map.Unload()
    del(src)

lol, i thought it could have been more complicated then that, sorry

Umm, but there is one (hopefully last) problem
map.Unload()
is an undefined proc

var/map
will not work the way you want it to.
You want 
var/swapmap/map
