Hi, it's me, Muska. I have found that possibly the hardest and most vital part of a game is saving. I have tried the various Libraries and none of them suit me. Is there a way to save that only uses a few lines of code? I;ve seen the various New F/savefile etc. but i dont know how they work. If you can help me thank you.

I don't use savefiles that often, nor am I very successful when it comes to me making them.. But I'll give it a shot.
proc/SaveMob(mob/M as mob)
    var/savefile/F = new("[M.key].sav")
    F["x"] << M.x // For some reason Write() doesn't save location.
    F["y"] << M.y // To store information in a savefile, do it in the following format: Savefilename["what to store as"] << information
    F["z"] << M.z
    M.Write(F)
proc/LoadMob(mob/M as mob)
    if(fexists("[M.key].sav"))
        var/savefile/F = new("[M.key].sav")
        var/new_x,new_y,new_z
        F["x"] >> new_x
        F["y"] >> new_y
        F["z"] >> new_z
        M.Read(F)
        M.Move(locate(new_x,new_y,new_z))


Hope that helps you.
