How to reduce personal Waypoints from 5 to X?

[sjJACKit 1]

Hi, I could not find anything.

How can I reduce the limitation of player personal waypoints from 5 to lets say 3?

 

I could not find anything about that.

Dont know if u can change the total numbers of waypoints but u can change the ability to set them or not.

By the way...why u want to reduce the waypoints to 3? Waypoints or no waypoints...that make sense i guess

Actually I want to reduce them to one. But then I came up with the idea to give one extra in order to e. g. mark 2 missions that spawn close to each other and what not. I wrote 3 just an example.

Five WP just go on my nerves really.

I come from a time where no WPs at all were available, but that would be a bit harsh in current casualized player base and considering the fact that there are way more than just one chernarus map to learn and remember

 

Another thing:

In

I found 

                        tacticalPing = 1;       //Tactical Ping (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

Any idea what that is?

Again thanks to kuplion, I am just releasing it here as he is probably too busy to do that.
