Largely an offline dev item:
the opposite of putnpc. Saves a big long string to a text file, clientside, offline. A sufficiently clever scripter can use this to make an offline file-save method:
savenpc file1.cwg,{if(created){setstring hp,#s(hp); setstring mp,#s(mp); setlevel2 #L,#v(playerx),#v(playery);};

Then you could load by putnpc with file1.cwg. :-D

It's not EVERYTHING, but it's enough. If you design your offline game with all the toweapons in one level, you can have the savenpc detour the player through the loader level...
