    So I've been looking through kag's files, and I can't seem to find the code that remove's a players blob upon them leaving the server. Is this hard-coded or is it just in a really obscure place?

    My plan is to stop player blobs from being destroyed so they can reconnect and take over their old blob.

    If this mechanic is hardcoded, I really hope the devs will consider converting it~

    It is part of the engine, but you can disconnect the player from their blob in the onPlayerLeave hook and the blob wont be deleted. The onPlayerLeave hook is called before the player is checked for a blob and that blob is removed.

    Note that you'll probably want to store any permanent stats "somewhere else" (probably use a TCPR link over a config file since you'd want to write it out pretty often but i'm not your keeper) so when the server goes down or nextmaps or whatever, the player's stats are kept.

    Thank you very much Geti! I'll implement that then. I'm looking to save the player's body part data and inventory, so no permanant stats really.
