so something I never tried doing is changing the number after what is being allocated

alloc(mem,[NUMBER])

but now I tried and it didn't change anything. I tried having it be

alloc(mem,1000)

and also

alloc(mem,1)

and there was no change. everything worked. What does the number mean?

[ulysse31]

the amount of bytes being allocated.
In the ram the minimum amount of bytes of 1 page is 0x1000 (it's 0x200 on disk) therefore wether you use 0x1000 or less will not matter, a new page is being allocated either way.

[Dark Byte]

the number is important to other allocs in the same script

[mgr.inz.Player]

If only one alloc in the script there's no difference between those:
alloc(mem,1000)
alloc(mem,1)
alloc(mem,4096)
All of them will allocate only one page (usually 4096 bytes)



alloc(mem,4097)
alloc(mem,8192)
Those will allocate two pages




If two or more allocs in the script:

alloc(mem_first,128)
alloc(mem_second,512)

CE will allocate one page (128+512 will still fit in one page)
mem_second will be exactly 128 bytes below mem_first

Thanks for all the replies. Now I get it.
