Class StringTable

Table name - defines what kind of data this table holds. String table names are unique to each table and can be used as an identifier.

Currently supported are:

• userinfo: Entries of PlayerInfo, one per player. Table size is 64, though Portal 2 only ever uses the first 2 slots.
• server_query_info: Entries of QueryPort. One entry, just the port number.
• instancebaseline: Entries of InstanceBaseline, one per entity class. Fills in default property values.
• GameRulesCreation: Entries of StringEntryData. Normally just one entry containing the class name of the current game mode's rules (CPortalGameRules or CPortalMPGameRules).
• InfoPanel: Entries of StringEntryData, unused in Portal 2?
• lightstyles: Entries of LightStyle, defining light flicker patterns as sequences of ASCII characters.
• modelprecache: Entries of PrecacheData, one per model. The first non-empty entry is a path to the map file from the mod directory, file extension included. Then follow entries in the form "*<number>", where each represents a brush entity. Finally, the rest are model file paths from the mod directory. Path separators aren't normalized, so some use forward slashes and others use backslashes.
• genericprecache: Entries of PrecacheData. Unused.
• soundprecache: Entries of PrecacheData, one per audio file. The name of each entry is a file path from the sound/ directory. Some seem to have a stray ) character at the start.
• decalprecache: Entries of PrecacheData, one per decal file. The name of each entry is a file path from the mod directory, without a file extension.
