When you save file,

Or if 0 value not appear first, read whole 32 bytes.
*edit
- When not set NULL fp.WriteString(header.author, false);, it add Horizontal Tab (0x09) or it is random byte :S

When you load file,
you ReadString, with size of header.author [32 bytes]
- You read author name with bunch of data same time.
To avoid this problem is set NULL terminate into strings and ReadString till first NULL terminate comes.

Code:

stock void WaypointLoad()
...
    File fp = OpenFile(filepath, "r");
...
    // read about the file and author
    WaypointHeader header;
    fp.ReadString(header.author, sizeof(header.author), -1);
    fp.Read(header.pointNumber, 1, 1);
...



stock void WaypointSave()
...
    File fp = OpenFile(filepath, "w");
...
    // write about the file and author
    fp.WriteString(header.author, true);
...

I edit those two lines.

If it still not work, then order of loading and save data maybe not work correctly...

name is loaded correctly but other data isn't

PrintHintTextToAll("Waypoint file author: %s\nWaypoints found: %s", header.author, m_waypointNumber);

m_waypointNumber is empty space

EDIT: when waypoint file readed, this happens: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=2792922012

Can you post saved waypoint file, including many waypoints ?

EDIT: fixed with C++ style write/read now everything is written as binary even name and it can read the all data now, have 4 warnings but its fine.

Neat.
