            if(src.mob && src.mob.SaveSlot && !(src.mob.status2 & SAVETIMER))
                var/mob/player/Q = src.mob
                Q.oldx = Q.x
                Q.oldy = Q.y
                Q.oldz = Q.z
                var/savefile/F = new("Players/[Q.Username].sav")
                F.cd = "/[src.mob.SaveSlot]/"
                F["mob"] << mob
                if(!nomessage)
                    src.mob << "<b><font color=red>You have saved!</b></font>"
                src.mob.status2 |= SAVETIMER
                spawn(50)
                    src.mob.status2 &= ~SAVETIMER
            return
        LoadMob(var/slot,var/mob/OldMob)
            if(slot)
                var/mob/player/Q = src.mob
                if(!fexists("Players/[Q.Username].sav"))
                    return
                var/savefile/F = new("Players/[Q.Username].sav")
                F.cd = "/[slot]/"
                var/mob/player/L = new
                L = F["mob"]
                if(!L)
                    src << "<b>ERROR: Unable to create mob from save file. Corrupted?"
                    return
                L.SaveSlot = slot
                world<<"<font size=1><font color=yellow><B>Info:<font color = silver> [L] has logged on the server."
                L.loc = locate(L.oldx,L.oldy,L.oldz)
                if(L.oLoc)
                    L.loc = L.oLoc
                    L.oLoc = 0
                L.Logged = 1
                spawn()
                    while(OldMob)
                        del(OldMob)


This is my current save / load system. I'm trying to implement an in-game username system and everything works fine. The only problem is that saving the variables from src.mob also saves key and ckey, which means you disconnect if you log in a character with a key other than the one you originally created it with... which completely undermines the purpose of having an independent login system to begin with. How would I go about reworking this system to not include key or ckey? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Save the mob after the client disconnects, then delete it.

I don't see what you mean. SaveProc() already runs at client/Del(). The problem isn't the save system itself, just the fact that ckey and key are saving, meaning the saves are key-specific.

Edit: Nevermind, I think I see what you're saying. But if you saved the mob, wouldn't it still save key and ckey?

Double Edit:
    Del()
        if(src.mob && src.mob.Logged)
            for(var/obj/BattleObject/MovingDamager/A in world)
                if(A.Owner == src.mob)
                    del(A)
            src.mob.status2 &= ~SAVETIMER
            world << "<b><font color = yellow>Info:<font color = silver> [src.mob]([src]) has logged off!"
            src.mob.Logout()
            src.SaveMob()
        ..()
        del(src.mob)


This is for client/Del(). Since I'm triggering Logout(), shouldn't that get rid of the mob's key and ckey variables? I'm still having the same issue regardless.
