You should turn you're Loading and Saving into a proc, and instead of using Move() to move the characters locations, why not use; usr.loc=locate(1,1,1)

Do not take this piece of advice. Move() is there for a reason.

I don't follow you around at all. You just happen to be posting really bad advice, again and again. Do you see a pattern there?

Please don't flame on these forums.

client
    proc
        Save()
            if(!src)return
            if(!src.mob)return
            var/savefile/save
            save = new ("Player Saves/[mob.ckey].sav")
            save["mob"] << src.mob
            save["x"] << src.mob.x
            save["y"] << src.mob.y
            save["z"] << src.mob.z
        Load()
            var/savefile/load
            load = new ("Player Saves/[mob.ckey].sav")
            load["mob"] >> src.mob
            load["x"] >> src.mob.x
            load["y"] >> src.mob.y
            load["z"] >> src.mob.z


I already made them a proc in a different dm. file but loading/saving is not the problem...the problem is that it constanty shows the "New" or "Load" screen no matter how many times i press "load" (it loads my game but the window appears again) and it wont dissapear untill i press "New"

Ok,i figured what the problem is...it's when it loads it goes back to login....but where do I place the New/Load thingy then?

Define a specific path in the creation procedure for the "ghost" mob, ex: mob/Ghost (and prob. set through world/mob so that the default login mob is set as mob/Ghost) and have the player path different from that path (ex: /mob, /mob/Trainer, etc)

Then define that Login() for mob/Ghost/Login().

Another method would be to have a unique identifier letting you know if a person logged in or not, ex: 
mob/var/trainer_number = 0

mob/Login()
   if(trainer_number)
       world << {"This person does not have 0, null, "" for their trainer_number variable, which means this char has been created!"}

Created()
   trainer_number=rand()
