If you would have properly read my comments then you would not be facing any issues. I do not see how your view was wrong. Your verbs disappeared because you are supposed to re-add them to your character once you log back in. Same goes for your icon.

mob/Read(var/savefile/f)
    ..()
    loc = locate(f["x"], f["y"], f["z"])
    world << "[src] has logged back in."
    active = 1 // now you will be able to activate auto-saving
    icon = 'player icon.dmi' // change the icon once they log in (reloading it)
    verbs += typesof(/mob/somepath/verb) // re-add your "special-path" verbs

Hey there, I was just creating my "Create" to he put his name and whatever, code behind:

client
    proc
        create()
            if(fexists("path/[src.key].sav"))
                src<<"<font color = red><b>Erro</b>:Essa conta já possui um char nesse servidor"
                return
            else
                mob.loc = locate(50,50,85)
                var/list/L
                L = list("font size","big","small")
                var/list/T
                T = list("'","¬","¹","²","³","£","¢","°","ª","º")
                var/name = input("","Nome") as text|null
                if(length(name) < 2)
                    alert("Seu nome precisa ter mais de 2 caracteres!")
                if(length(name) > 20)
                    alert("Seu nome não pode conter mais que 20 caracteres!")
                for(var/X in L)
                    if(findtext(name,X))
                        alert("Você não pode alterar o tamanho do nome!")
                for(var/X in T)
                    if(findtext(name,X))
                        alert("Você não pode usar esses caracteres!")
                        return
                    name="[html_encode(name)]"
                perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
                eye = locate(21,45,2)
                view = "50x35"
                return


So, in the game, when I click "NEW", a error appears to me:
Luan12 has logged in!
runtime error: Cannot modify null.loc.
proc name: create (/client/proc/create)
  source file: Sistema de Login.dm,237
  usr: null
  src: Luan12 (/client)
  call stack:
Luan12 (/client): create()
Luan12 (/client): newcharacter()
Luan12 (/client): chooseoption("New")
Luan12 (/client): New()
You have started a new game.


I really don't know how to do this, with my other SAVE SYSTEM (which bugs sometimes) it all work, only difference that wasn't client/proc, was mob/proc... Both methodes appears the same bug.

Best Resgards,
Luan

It can be. There is no need to use >> operators when loading, not sure about saving.

That appears to be running in client/New(), not when you click on something? If you haven't run the parent yet, then the mob won't be connected, and will therefor give you a null error.

Was the original system giving you any errors?

Replace the client/New() with this and try again:

client/New()
    ..()
    world << "[src] has logged in!"
    chooseoption() // call the action to new/load/delete a game
