First Question - When installing the plugin on 4.19 i only get the ‘slot’ blueprint to select from the symantec menu - is this intended? I dont seem to have the
‘saviour actor’ and ‘savior template’ - i only have the savior 2 slot
Its seems to be working but I was a little confused that maybe mine was not working correctly - is that expected on 4.19 version of the plugin?

Yes, the old plugin design is no longer used. There’s no template nor savior actor to be placed in maps anymore.

Second Question - Im just using ‘save world’ and ‘load world’ ignoring the state and mode - what am i missing there? Is that smart? Should i be using more of those nodes to get a more complete load? It seemed to me that the load world got the most things back in place.

If your game design isn’t too complicated, “Save World” and “Load World” should be enough to save and load everything.
The “Save Game Mode” node is used when you just want to save Game Mode blueprints without care in which Map the game was saved in. With “Load Game Mode” you can load all Game Mode data without replacing current Level, like open world games do.

Last Question (and probably the one that is most important to the project!) - I have a spaceship - it has attached static meshes. These are stuck on to the ship by the player. It simply attaches the mesh to the parent actor. Now I cant figure out how to get Savior to save this ship and include the meshes. I managed to attach actors to the ship and load and save those perfectly but for the actual basic meshes - I think I must be missing something.
I set the scope on the save slot to be like the attached image.
I followed the procedural setup and applied that to the ship - and to the parent of the attached actors … but for meshes - I was wondering how I may get those spawned back in on reload.

You aren’t missing anything. I make the plugin skip static meshes data…
Because otherwise Unreal Engine goes kaboom!

You can however map those meshes to a list of SoftReference | Bool map.
Whatever Ref in the map set to true would activate the static mesh component you need making it visible/loaded, and the plugin can auto save those Map properties just fine.
