mob/proc
    Save()
        if(src.z==2) return  //we dont want to save them at the title screens!
        var/savefile/F = new("Players/[src.key].sav")   //creates a new savefile or overwrites an old one
        F["Boss1"]<<src.Boss1
        F["Music"]<<src.Music
        F["LastX"]<<src.x
        F["LastY"]<<src.y
        F["LastZ"]<<src.z
        F["dir"]<<src.dir
        F["name"]<<src.name
        F["icon_state"]<<src.icon_state
        F["Level"]<<src.Level
        F["Str"]<<src.Str
        F["Def"]<<src.Def
        F["MaxHP"]<<src.MaxHP
        F["MaxMP"]<<src.MaxMP
        F["Exp"]<<src.Exp
        F["Nexp"]<<src.Nexp
        F["Gold"]<<src.Gold
        F["BankedGold"]<<src.BankedGold
        F["Class"]<<src.Class
        F["contents"]<<src.contents
        F["Items"]<<src.Items
        src<<"Game Saved"
This is from the RPG Maker Demo(with a few extra things as well of course. it is saved by manually saving every variable. The loading is practically the same, except you use >> instead of <<.

I would recommend saving the mob itself - much faster.

client proc save
   var/savefile/S = new("X.sav")
   S["mob"] << src.mob


client load
  S [mob] >> src.mob

Use your head how to make that work.

If you have some variables that you do not want saved, define that variable as a temp. 
mob/var
   hp
   xp
   sp
   jp
   up
   tmp/pu
   haha

client
  New()
    Load()
    ..()
  Del()
    Save()
    ..()
  proc
    Save()
      var/savefile/F = new("[key].save")
      F["mob"] << mob
    Load()
      if(fexists("[key].save"))
        var/savefile/F = new("[key].save")
        F["mob"] >> mob

mob
  /* Any special handling for saving and loading goes in mob/Write() and mob/Read() */
  Write(var/savefile/F)
    ..()
    //save our location
    F["x"] << x
    F["y"] << y
    F["z"] << z
  Read(var/savefile/F)
    ..()
    //load our location
    var/turf/T = locate(F["x"], F["y"], F["z"])
    if(T)
      loc = T

There's nothing wrong with helping slightly with saves when it's an issue alot of people muck up eventually. It's not like he gave him the fully working 100% super save system, it's simple and meant to show him how to do it right.

There is an overwhelming amount of Doing It Wrong when it comes to savefiles.
