Player Names

Allocated names don't get freed until LevelShutdownPostEntity.

This issue arises because of the usage of pooled strings for saving names to memory. When a name change is made, rather than deleting the old name, it just changes the netname string_t to a newly allocated string.

hl2mp_client.cpp

void ClientPutInServer( edict_t *pEdict, const char *playername )
{
	// Allocate a CBaseTFPlayer for pev, and call spawn
	CHL2MP_Player *pPlayer = CHL2MP_Player::CreatePlayer( "player", pEdict );

	char trimmedName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME_LENGTH];
	Q_strncpy( trimmedName, playername, sizeof( trimmedName ) );
-	pPlayer->PlayerData()->netname = AllocPooledName( trimmedName );
+	pPlayer->PlayerData()->netname = MAKE_STRING(strdup( trimmedName ));
}

teamplay_gamerules.cpp

	const char * name = engine->GetClientConVarValue( pPlayer->entindex(), "name" );

	// msg everyone if someone changes their name,  and it isn't the first time (changing no name to current name)
	// Note, not using FStrEq so that this is case sensitive
	if ( pPlayer->pl.netname != NULL_STRING && 
		 STRING(pPlayer->pl.netname)[0] != 0 && 
		 Q_strcmp( STRING(pPlayer->pl.netname), name ) )
	{
		IGameEvent * event = gameeventmanager->CreateEvent( "player_changename" );
		if ( event )
		{
			event->SetInt( "userid", pPlayer->GetUserID() );
			event->SetString( "oldname", STRING(pPlayer->pl.netname) );
			event->SetString( "newname", name );
			gameeventmanager->FireEvent( event );
		}
		
		delete STRING(pPlayer->pl.netname);
-		pPlayer->pl.netname = AllocPooledString( name );
+		pPlayer->pl.netname = MAKE_STRING(strdup( name ));
