When i load a multiplayer save in single player mode,
i get spawned as "player" rather than "warmadmax" (my multi player name)

this spawns me as a fresh player with basic equipment,
rather than as my character at the time of save.

looks like all that is needed is it to check the multiplayer name in your options and use this instead of "player" ?

work around currently is play in "multiplayer" mode all the time.

Well option is for your multiplayer name. But on another note there is an issue that if lets say your where player 2 on a multiplayer that when you load the game up as single player you start as player 1 with all of player ones inventory and not your inventory. the reason I mention this while it may not seem connected to your answer is kind of is, as if you where to have your multiplayer name as your name in single player the game would then pick the correct player with the corresponding inventory.

I do agree with you that it should use the multiplayer name as your name in single player

Thanks for the report. This will be fixed in the 0.11.4. The player in SP will try to connect to his corresponding character and keeps the MP username (or overwrites the username of the character it connects to if character with same username wasn't found).
