Environment

• Operating System version: Windows 10
• Game/AppID (with version if applicable): CS:GO
• Current SourceMod version: 1.10.0.6.6460

• I have updated SourceMod to the latest version and it still happens.

Description

Some network string tables inside the engine send raw data from meory, not strings (e. g. the userinfo table as seen here). Sadly, SourceMod uses a bytes-to-string conversion function inside GetStringTableData, so everything after \0 is truncated.

Problem:

(Same goes true for SetStringTableData).

Problematic Code (or Steps to Reproduce)

You can validate by reading any userinfo entry with GetStringTableData and compare the return value (which is the length of string characters read instead of bytes read) with GetStringTableDataLength (which returns the correct size).

Possible solution

Either create an additional function to read raw data or allow to specify a flag to the function.
