Hi! Sorry for not getting around to this any sooner. Even with your saved game, I can't reproduce the crash. I've renamed myself to "plexpt" and used "Host multiplayer game" to load your game. But all I see is all players signing off, then player plexpt joins again, but everything goes alright -- no crash for me. Perhaps that's normal for saves from multiplayer? Don't know …
The error message isn't really telling either. Could you change line 811 of minime/scripts/character.lua to this:
error(minime.argprint(dst) .. " is not a valid character!")
and try again, with debugging to log file enabled? I'd also like to see the log file as I can't reproduce the crash myself. :-)
