How can I transfer a character (with his inventory) to a new save?

[aru88erduck]

As recently as July of 2021 (maybe more recent but not sure), you could transfer a character from one save file to another (and even bring your inventory/vehicle with you) by simply copying and pasting the following files from the old save into the new save:

map_t.bin
players
players.db-journal
vehicles
vehicles.db-journal

This process was great and I used it primarily for 2 main reasons: 1, to save a character from a corrupt save when my modding got too out of control, or 2, to allow any mods requiring a new game to be playable with my current character. At the same time, world time transferred to the new save as well so any newly generated food would be rotten, the power would still be out, and water would still be off. All zombies would also instantly respawn which is a lot since I play on apocalypse. So transferring didn't make it an easy fresh start or anything; it was a decently balanced approach to fighting file corruption or allowing new mods to populate my game.

Now, however, things are a bit different. Here's what still transfers over and what no longer does using the same files:

Transfers correctly (expected behavior):
-Character appearance
-Character name
-Character weight
-Zombie kill count
-Favorite Weapon
-Traits
-Skills (and current xp)
-Current health and injuries
-Current survival stats/moodlets
-World date
-Vehicles

Does not transfer correctly anymore (unexpected behavior):
-Inventory is reset (and kind of randomized; I spawned with a t-shirt, jacket, and screwdriver, nothing else not even pants.)
-Vehicle parts/condition are reset/randomized

I can't remember if this was supposed to transfer or not originally but I'll include it just in case:
-Vehicle inventory is also reset (and randomized as if spawning fresh loot; although I don't remember if vehicle loot transferred originally or not)

Does anybody know how the files may have been updated recently? Which files should now be transferred?

has a new work around been found?

I'm not sure if it's happening for B42 or if it has already happened; but inventory was being moved from the client side to the server side.
