Profiles on Multiplayer

[helm76]

I have a running game going and my friend wants to join in but wants to use his profile from his own game so he is not starting over. I set the game to non-persistent profiles and he signed in but it made a new character. It never asked him to choose a profile how does he select his to use in my game?

If you are talking his levels and stuff he owns, there is no such option. Persistent Profiles on/off just enables/disables the ability to change the way the character looks (which visual profile they use and if they can change it later)(frankly think that should always be off as on creates problems anytime the profiles get modified).

If you really wanted to copy his skills, stuff, etc from his Single Player game you would need to have him copy the <player>.ttp from the save, send it to you, and you'd need to replace it on the server. You won't likely ever see such a function in the default game given how customizable the game is (after all could play SP with cheats on, heavily modded, etc then just join a server with that, no thanks).

AH! Okay thanks for this! We thought that he could just carry his character over and not start at Zero skills since I am on day 45 and all. We will just start a new game together!
