The Fake Console and ReadDataFile: how much can you load?

I'm trying to find out how much (of anything) you can load at once with a single command in-game.
Typing this:
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer",
"rep_inf_ep2_engineer",
"rep_inf_ep2_sniper",
"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
"rep_inf_ep2_jettrooper",
"rep_hover_fightertank",
"rep_hero_macewindu")
into the code console - on a map with one class per team and nothing else - crashes the game with this error:
Code: Select all
Message Severity: 3
C:\Battlefront2\main\RedEngineFL\Memory\RedMemory.cpp(561)
attempted to allocate from invalid heap -1
Message Severity: 3
C:\Battlefront2\main\RedEngineFL\Memory\RedMemory.cpp(538)
Allocating 50444 bytes failed - no free blocks left in Heap -1 ()
So what's the limit?

I don't believe you can load new units through Fake Console. You can load new textures and models however.

I failed to load models from fake console as well. I wanted to make map model/texture reskins in fake console and it crashes with models. Textures only it seems to work.

I've loaded models and units before. The former is how some Skin Changer commands work. But there appears to be an "upper limit" as to how many units I can load at a time, which is what i'm trying to find.

Have you guys tried using ReadDataFileInGame() instead of ReadDataFile()? I was never able to determine the difference between those two functions.

No, i've always thought it was redundant since the latter works in-game, but perhaps the former works better. I'll let you know.
