+ * Allocate slots for model instances and animations.

+ * The rwdata slots are split into 3 types. Types 1 and 2 use different slot
+ * sizes, while type 3 has no allocated slots at all. When models are
+ * instantiated they require a certain amount of rwdata, and are bound to type 1

+ *
+ * The function allocates more than what is specified in the arguments.
+ * If the expansion pak is being used, 60 spare model slots are allocated
+ * (eg. for thrown weapons), and a further 20 model and 20 anim slots are
