To change the spawn equipment its in Rpgfunk.cs.
Look for this line...
storeData(%clientId, "spawnStuff", "PickAxe 1 BluePotion 1 CrystalBluePotion 3");
When you should have a Temp folder...where does it save screenshots? Anyways, yea trying createing a new folder and naming it "Temp".
That should also get the saved characters to load, assuming you havent messed with save while making your mod.
