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?

Very stupid mod because it keeps lost items if it were just skills and wheels it would be good but 3/10

this mod does not support certain modded items and cause immediate crash upon loading saves with them (loads nothing) is it possible to solve?

I used loading between saves, strangely removed all my clothings, may I ask where does this mod save its player data?

The creator can easily solve this by creating a new dedicated tab in the character window.

This works with B42, however it didn't carry over my hair color. Can't speak for carrying over clothing or inventory, latest upon utterly destroyed everything I owned but was still able to load into the save to rescue my character. The character must be the exact same name as the one your about to make in your new world.

Can this mod work without builds 41 and 42? I add this mod to multiplayer server and it doesnt work

Clicked save, then load immediately after (thought it would bring up another UI) and all my skills got halved.

Getting this error on load anyone know what might be causing it? I'm pretty sure it's some kind of mod conflict as when I load it doesn't load some items.

attempted index: item of non-table: null
function: loadItemContainer -- file: CharacterSave_SaveLoad.lua line # 295 | MOD: CharacterSave
function: loadChar -- file: CharacterSave_SaveLoad.lua line # 247 | MOD: CharacterSave
function: onMouseUp -- file: ISButton.lua line # 56 | Vanilla
java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index: item of non-table: null

!!! only tested in b41 !!!!
When using this mod, my Strength and Fitness stats don't stick after loading a save; they revert.
I found that character:applyTraits seems to set Strength and Fitness to certain values, though I'm unsure why.
Here's a workaround that worked for me (only basic tests conducted):

\2673317083\mods\CharacterSave\media\lua\client\CharacterSave_SaveLoad.lua
line:around 222

before:
character:applyTraits(updatedTraits)--is lua ArrayList same as Java ArrayList<String> ? seems to be

after:
local beforeStrength = character:getPerkLevel(Perks.Strength);
local beforeFitness = character:getPerkLevel(Perks.Fitness);
character:applyTraits(updatedTraits)--is lua ArrayList same as Java ArrayList<String> ? seems to be
if beforeStrength <= 0 then character:setPerkLevelDebug(Perks.Strength, 0); end
if beforeFitness <= 0 then character:setPerkLevelDebug(Perks.Fitness, 0); end

I'm new to modding and Zomboid mods, so please take this as a suggestion."

After loading character it changes maps settings ... as nature abundance.
