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.

Hello. There is a bug when using Dynamic Traits and this mod; it is saved, but when loading, nothing happens and all progress/inventory is lost.

thx for report

ferp is right needs a fix
Ferpman (Cyan) Nov 5, 2023 @ 4:40pm 
Hmm, there seems to be something wrong with using killcount and this mod, since it saves kills, killcount throws an error every time you kill a zombie since they are not synced I am going to guess.

terraria characters be like

@Tchernobill I'm going to use it right now, I want to change the map and keep my character as it is, thank you very much!
Tchernobill  [author] Jun 13, 2023 @ 3:16pm 
@Brezonte Yes
Brezonte Jun 13, 2023 @ 3:13pm 
Nice mod thanks, does it still work?
Tchernobill  [author] May 18, 2023 @ 9:28am 
@Hvginn Use english please.
You can drop your clothes before saving.
Hvginn May 18, 2023 @ 7:35am 
Tengo una duda, ¿puedo configurarlo para que guarde todo menos inventario? No me gusta que se duplique.
Tchernobill  [author] Apr 19, 2023 @ 3:15am 
@ivcrki2993 & K4REN Vanilla allows you to save your character name.

@CREAMY if it has the same name, the save is overriden and no backup is kept: it is definitely lost. If the name is not the same, then both saves remain available (but only for characters with the same name: so only one save is available at a time)

@Inferno thanx for your answer and report. Have you identified the dynamic trait mod's trait that is the source ofr the conflicting errors?
Inferno Apr 3, 2023 @ 12:02am 
@Tchernobill It seems to work with other mods with traits, although from time to time I get an error with dynamic traits, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.
Inferno Apr 3, 2023 @ 12:00am 
@Ivcrki2993 If your new character's name doesn't match the previously saved one, it won't load anything.
ivcrki2993 Apr 2, 2023 @ 6:29pm 
Hello, can someone explain me how it works? i just can't seem to make it work...
K4REN Apr 2, 2023 @ 11:37am 
Hello! Excellent mod.

I have a question: I go to the character menu in my old save and I put "save" next to (example:) Harry_Potter. Then I go to my new save, I create a character with the same first and last name (Harry Potter) but when I go to the character menu, "Harry Potter" does not appear, only "Harry" appears and the load button does not work. Any idea what could be happening?
CREAMY Mar 29, 2023 @ 6:09pm 
If I were to accidentally save a random character, what would I do with the previous character's ini files to load the previous one? (Not the currently saved one)
RebelKillSwitch Mar 10, 2023 @ 6:42am 
@inferno works for me
Tchernobill  [author] Mar 9, 2023 @ 11:01pm 
@Inferno hmm you try and tell us ? :)
Inferno Mar 9, 2023 @ 10:35pm 
Is this compatible whit others traits mods, like more dynamics traits?
RebelKillSwitch Feb 14, 2023 @ 1:37pm 
got it to work finally, thankyou OP! this mod is a MUST have for me.
380MM Jan 4, 2023 @ 2:40am 
Awesome mod! But "load" can be clicked many times,This means I can copy items indefinitely.How to limit clicking Save to not clicking Load,Or you can only click load once after creating a new player,ha-ha.sorry,My English is very poor
Tchernobill  [author] Jan 1, 2023 @ 10:11pm 
@Thealmightybuddha The load order should not matter.
Thealmightybuddha Jan 1, 2023 @ 8:44pm 
I haven't added any mods since using this, it just all of a sudden stopped working. Should it be on top or at the bottom of the Mod Load Order?
Tchernobill  [author] Dec 31, 2022 @ 8:38pm 
@Thealmightybuddha If you do not see the buttons, it is either not active or another mod is modifying the layout of the character page.
Thealmightybuddha Dec 31, 2022 @ 7:31pm 
I was using this for a bit but not the save/load buttons don't show up on my character page anymore, and it is for sure enabled. Is there some type of hidden hotkey or something?
SiTWulf Dec 9, 2022 @ 6:58am 
@Tchernobill can be compatible with Noir's Attachments
Or any other Mod with Backpacks Attachments?
Similar to this Mod works Save Backpack Attachments
Tchernobill  [author] Dec 5, 2022 @ 1:28am 
@SiTWulf This mod is made to be compatible with any, but ProjectSky's mods are not.
Ask him to respect FWolfe's guidelines to make them compatible.
Meanwhile there are plenty of other compatible position mods.
SiTWulf Dec 4, 2022 @ 10:48pm 
This mod is incompatible with:
* Real Age: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=573071491
* View Coordinate: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=515075184

If you have activated any of these mods the Save/Load Buttons never appear
@Tchernobill you can fix it please?
Tchernobill  [author] Nov 24, 2022 @ 4:17pm 
@Euphoria Thank you.

I really appreciate this mod, it's awesome
Tchernobill  [author] Nov 10, 2022 @ 8:50am 
version 1.10 is out
Handles weapons upgrades, magazines and ammo.
PhantomO1 Nov 10, 2022 @ 4:03am 
it's fine, thanks for the tip and updating!

oh, and i noticed after that the magazine from my loaded pistol was gone; not a big deal, but should probably mention it
Tchernobill  [author] Nov 10, 2022 @ 3:09am 
version 1.9 is out
The keyring is now kept with all its keys when loading.
Tchernobill  [author] Nov 10, 2022 @ 2:49am 
@Phantom Thank you for the report. I am sorry to confirm your keyring and keys are lost forever.
You can get a new keyring from the item list in debug mod.
I'll see what I can do to correct that bug.
PhantomO1 Nov 9, 2022 @ 6:23am 
well, i accidentally clicked "load" after saving my character and lost all my keys...

i see there have been other complaints of this happening

i assume there's no way to get my keys back (if there is i would love to know) but can you please put a prompt in that asks you to confirm what you're about to do and tells you about stuff like that?
Tchernobill  [author] Oct 31, 2022 @ 1:46pm 
@John Shepard N7117 Yes, there is no way for them to get your character without file exchange.
John Shepard N7117 Oct 31, 2022 @ 1:44pm 
Thank you it does work for them. I don't get what you mean by ingame exchange?
You mean like them having my character?
