Set Memory Pool Info

When you create a mod folder with 'VisualMunge', the mission files that are generated contain 'canned' SetMemoryPool calls. In many cases they may be fine to leave as they are. But if you have memory concerns you may want to 'tune/optimize' the memory pool allocations.

Below are all the SetMemoryPoolSize() calls referenced in the SWBFII mission lua files (that shipped with the modtools). We don't know exactly what all these are; but many memory pool allocations can be optimized by 'counting' the allocations in the different world files (or in units). The unknowns are marked with '??'.

If you know what any of the 'unknowns (??)' are, please edit this page annotating what they are and how to count them.
