Character Save

In 2 collections by Tchernobill
PZ Build 41
26 items
Taste of Vanilla B41
35 items
Description
Allows to save a character playing in a version and load it in another version of the game.

So you can finally replay your 1k hours survivor from B41.50 into B41.73 or even multiplayer.

How to
  • start the game in the initial version
  • activate this mod in the save
  • load the save
  • click on the save button below your character name in the character UI
  • note your character name(1)
  • stop the game
  • start the game in the current main version of the game
  • activate this mod in default setting
  • start a new game with the same character name(1)
  • click on the load button below your character name in the character UI

What is saved
  • Profession
  • Traits
  • Perk levels, current experience and book multiplier.
  • Weight
  • Kills number
  • Time survived
  • Items(2)
  • Known recipes
(2)no keyring, no tailoring patch, restore full durability.
Also clothings and bags are "randomly" equipped automatically. This is mainly to avoid "weight stuck inventory" effect.

Can I use it for other switches than game versions
Yes you can use it:
  • to have an experienced character in a Really CDDA challenge.
  • to change between survivor mod and apocalypse.
  • ..
But in those cases you SHOULD use this other mod instead.

A mismatch between client and server with B41 Multiplayer?

Sad, it work but its flooding so much error. Same mods, same name, same spawn. Maybe because I have so many mods running. Hopefully on my next try it will work

I've noticed that your key ring is empty when loading a new player, you have to find your corpse/zombie and restore from that

@Trailblazer The save is associated to yuour character name. MP/Solo does not matter. So if your MP character name is Trailblazer and your Solo character name is also Trailblazer, the last save will override the previous one.

hi, does this save separate character saves for multiplayer & solo play ? ie if i save in SP then play MP with friends and save, would i lose my SP save ? or do i have to handle saves manually ? thanks

Okay, I just understood the fine print. If you die, you need to name the new character the same as your old character, otherwise it won't load the file.

If you didn't know your old characters name (like me), here's what you can do on PC:
- Go to: C:\Users\<you>\Zomboid\Lua
- Look for a "CharacterSave_<fname>_<lname>.ini file.
- you'll see yours.
- create your new character that name, then click load.

Thank you, mod author!

I saved my character. Five minutes later, I died. Is there no way to re-load to my saved game point? Isn't that the whole point of this mod?

Awsome mod for players like me (beginner) who don't like the idea to not save. Yeah you can backup manually, but the savegame folder will become huge as you start exploring a bit, and the problem it's not even the weight in mb but the amount of files.. even with m2 ssd i can only copy at 2-2.3 mb/s.

Now i still backup sometimes, but less, because you can respawn in the same world with your original character.
Very good work

This mod work with a local server save to a dedicated server?

So I'm trying to figure out how to get this mod to work. I've followed the instructions as closely as I can. I can only manage to get this to work on the same save file, but I'm unable to load it into a different or brand new game. Anyone have any suggestions that can help me figure this one out? Thanks.
