Deadron has a good character handling lib you should try. You'll need to use wizkidd's fix though. You may also have to edit it a little to get it to work how to want it, but it's pretty easy, just change do the Login() proc for your Player mob, and then have deadron's switch to that mob and you can do it all :P

It's better to go with a custom save system then, they aren't hard to make. You seem to be talking about something like the Final Fantasy version of char saving :P

First, start out with char saving/loading, then, move onto making the savepoints if you haven't already, and make them call the save proc when you click on them, then, go on to choosing character, then creating.

try...
mob
  proc
      Save()
        var/savefile/F = new("Characters/[src.name]/")
        F["X"] << src.x
        F["Y"] << src.y
        F["Z"] << src.z
        F["Mob"] << src.client.mob

That SHOULD work.

Your loading non-existant files, which is why your getting runtimes, make a new char proc real fast :P

its not working because thats just a directory, try having F equal to the actualy save file
var/savefile/F=new("characters/[ckey].sav")
