Well, so far Valve has never responded to any of the SDK bug reports, so you
shouldn't hold your breath waiting for them before releasing a fix. Better to
just release the fix and if there's an issue, we'll solve it. (Now Valve did

In stringpool.cpp there is this function:
bool StrLess( const char * const pszLeft, const char * const pszRight )
{
return ( Q_stricmp( pszLeft, pszRight) 0 );
}
It is used to compare strings in the string table to see if there is
already one in the table that can be used. The string table
It sounds good, however, wont this be an open invite
to people shareing the same name, all but case's such

Wow good catch! I saw the chat truncation thing once before, but chalked it up
to a networking glitch or something so I didn't report it. I should have

First, the chat being broken if the user's name doesn't appear in the chat
text. Let me poor a little marinara sauce over this code. Ah that's better.
And second, the bug that the case-insensitive name change doesn't propogate
properly.
I reviewed all of

I haven't bothered looking at the code involved myself yet, but I
suspect that there's a reason for why it's stricmp now. This is one
case in which I think it would be better to patch the leaks rather
than try to fix the problem at the root. If any bugs came up, as in

HL2DM SDK: From a source file I created, how can I access the String table
in order to append my string to the table? I think the interface I want is:
INetworkStringTableContainer *networkstringtable = NULL;
Which is from GameInterface.cpp
