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?

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

!!! 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."

my bad I'm an idiot, to everyone else who can't get it to export, read the instructions :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

you need to have the same name
it works like a charm in build 42

11/10 mod :steamthis: :steamthumbsup:
CampinKarl 1 Mar @ 10:27am 
Oh for some reason it also does not export to build 42 for some reason, works within 41
CampinKarl 1 Mar @ 7:43am 
It works great, but be wary that if you have personal notes on notebooks or papers, upon loading they will also turn into Empty Notebooks and Empty papers.

It's good I backed up at least, but that should be noted in the footnote above :mhwgood:

Yeah just thinking of using such a mod in the middle of an unstable release... makes me say the people losing their progress really just had it coming...
