Code:
mob
    Login()
        usr.loc = locate(6,6,4)
        if(usr.key == "Shomone")
        world << "<b><font color=blue>Owner [usr] has entered the world!"
        switch(alert("Which one whould you like to choose?","","New","Load","Quit"))
            if("New")
                if (fexists("players/[usr.ckey].sav")) // Check if they have a save file
                    switch(alert("If you continue with a new character, your previous character will be erased. Do you wish to continue?","[world.name]","Yes","No"))
                        if ("Yes")
                            usr << "... Ok... Beginning character process now."
                            usr.loc = locate(17,6,4)
                            return ..()
                        if ("No")
                            usr << "Ok, Please reconnect for you are being disconnected now"
                            del(usr)
                            return ..()
                        else
                            return ..()
                usr.loc = locate (17,6,4)
            if("Load")
                LoadCharacter() // The load character proc
            if("Quit")
                usr << "Bye bye."
                del(src)


mob
    proc
        LoadCharacter() // The load character proc
            var/savefile/F = new("players/[src.ckey].sav") // define the location of the save file
            var/X       // Defines a temporary X variable
            var/Y       // Defines a temporary Y variable
            var/Z       // Defines a temporary Z variable
            var/mob/newmob = new() // Initialize a new mob
            F["name"] >> name   // Load the name from the list into the character's name
            F["X"] >> X     // Load the X variable from the savefile to the temporary X variable
            F["Y"] >> Y     // Load the Y variable from the savefile to the temporary Y variable
            F["Z"] >> Z     // Load the Z variable from the savefile to the temporary Z variable
            F["Mob"] >> newmob  // Load all the mob data into the initialized mob
            newmob.loc = locate(X,Y,Z)  // Move the initialized mob to the last saved location
            newmob.client = src.client  // Set the mob's client to players client

So you see the newmob standing around, but you're not connected to it? Seems to be a problem with your very last line then.


You really don't need to create a new mob though. That is a technique usually used for creating new players. But since they already have an established character, it'd be easier to do it like this:

        LoadCharacter() // The load character proc
            var/savefile/F = new("players/[src.ckey].sav") // define the location of the save file

/*
            You don't need these here.  just use src.x, src.y, and src.z.
            var/X       // Defines a temporary X variable
            var/Y       // Defines a temporary Y variable
            var/Z       // Defines a temporary Z variable
*/

//          var/mob/newmob = new() // Initialize a new mob
/*
            You don't need this since you're saving/loading the mob directly.
            F["name"] >> name   // Load the name from the list into the character's name
*/
            F["X"] >> src.x     // Load the X variable from the savefile to the temporary X variable
            F["Y"] >> src.y     // Load the Y variable from the savefile to the temporary Y variable
            F["Z"] >> src.z     // Load the Z variable from the savefile to the temporary Z variable
            F["Mob"] >> src // Load all the mob data into the initialized mob
            src.loc = locate(src.x,src.y,src.z) // Move the initialized mob to the last saved location
//          newmob.client = src.client  // Set the mob's client to players client
