Code:

client
    proc
        Load()
            var/savefile/load

                src.client.Save()


Problem description:
Well the problem is semi obvious, the save just doesnt work. lol i set the var Exists=0 so that from the start it isnt real, then once you make a char it becomes 1 so that it just loads

Btw, if there is an error in the indentation around the line, you dont wanna play games? Mr Anderson?, ignore it, its jjust my copy and paste skills fail lol

Amongst other things, I think the issue has to do with your logic in using this "Exists" var... When they login, a brand new mob is created for them until you load their old one. Since you saved Exists=1 in the old save, which doesn't get loaded yet, it will always be 0. If you want to check for the existance of a save file, you should use fexists().

First of to start with you have
mob
    Login()
        if(src.Exists==1)//Switch this to: if(src.Exists)
            src.client.Load()

Exist is always 0 you need to grab that var out of the client.savefile and then if it is 1 you load it.
Do this:
if(fexisits("Player Saves/[src.ckey].sav"))
   src.client.Load()

First off are you saying i should lose the whole Login if(src.Exists thing? and replace it with the fexists?

If so, then im getting an error saying fexists is undefined, but im pretty sure its a predefined proc

found the bug, if(fexisits lol...

still time to tets it out

Okay, now this ones a bit more confusing...

take the previous (original) bit of code, remove the if(src.Exists==1) crap, replace it with
if(fexists("Player Saves/[src.ckey].sav"))
        src.client.Load()
        world<<"[src] has logged in"
        src.icon='Shark1.dmi'
        src.icon_state="0,1"
        src.verbs+=typesof(/mob/verb)

and then tell me why whenever i try and join it says connection failed, and no its nothing to do with the guest boot, because i made it say hais if you are a guest then it boots, and i tryed logging in on a guest and it works perfectly, well, it says hais then boots.

so yea. if you understand what i say i think you should be able to fix it, i mean, understanding me is ahrd enough
