client
    proc
        LoadMob()//the name of the proc
            var/first_initial = copytext(src.key, 1, 2)//copy the user's initial key's letter
            if(fexists("players/[first_initial]/[src.key].sav"))//if the user save file exist
                var/savefile/F = new("players/[first_initial]/[src.key].sav")//opens it as a save file
                F["mob"]>>src.mob//loads it
                world<<"<font color=green><b><u>[src] has logged in!</b></u></font color=green>"//tells everyone that someone logged in
        SaveMob()//the name of the proc
            var/first_initial = copytext(src.key, 1, 2)//copy the user's initial key's letter
            var/savefile/F = new("players/[first_initial]/[src.key].sav")//makes the save file
            F["mob"]<<src.mob//saves the character

mob
    Write(savefile/F)
        ..()

        F["last_x"] << x
        F["last_y"] << y
        F["last_z"] << z

    Read(savefile/F)
        ..()

        var/last_x
        var/last_y
        var/last_z
        F["last_x"] >> last_x
        F["last_y"] >> last_y
        F["last_z"] >> last_z
        loc = locate(last_x, last_y, last_z)







client
    Del()
        ..()
        SaveMob()
        sleep(10)
        del(mob)
        return


Well dont put src or usr.SaveMob() in the Logout() proc the client/Del() will when a player logs out their game gets saved >.>

Verbs are not automatically saved. You have to do that yourself:

var/list/procs = list()
world/New()
    ..()
    //we need to generate a list of every proc, for loading
    procs += typesof("/proc") + typesof("/verb")
    procs += typesof("/client/proc") + typesof("/client/verb")
    for(var/type in typesof(/datum))
        procs += typesof("[type]/proc") + typesof("[type]/verb")
    //this does not quite generate a thorough list: it is not possible to get subtypes of /client

mob
    Write(var/savefile/F)
        ..()
        F["verbs"] << verbs
    
    Read(var/savefile/F)
        ..()
        var/list/tempverbs
        F["verbs"] >> tempverbs
        for(var/v in tempverbs)
            if(v in procs)
                verbs += v


We need to ensure that the verbs stored in the savefile still exist before we add them, or Read() will crash and we won't be able to finish loading, which will cause a corruption of the character.

When saving, make a list of all your verbs. Then when loading, read that list and make it give the verbs back.

You don't really need to store a global list like that, don't you? If you're accessing the paths by looping threw the list anyway, why not test them? If that doesn't work for some reason, you could also store the paths as text and use text2path() which will return false if there's no such path.

In response to Kaioken
It didn't occur to me to use text2path(). I assumed it wouldn't work because ispath() doesn't work with procs. That simplifies things:

mob
    Write(var/savefile/F)
        ..()
        F["verbs"] << verbs
    
    Read(var/savefile/F)
        ..()
        var/list/tempverbs
        F["verbs"] >> tempverbs
        for(var/v in tempverbs)
            if(text2path("[v]"))
                verbs += v
