well, no offense, but it's not like you weren't warned..

"Umm... far as I know, 5632 is way too wide for a map. For really big maps, I've only seen 2304 x 2560, 2048 x 2816, and 1024 x 3072 work. But maybe I'm wrong about this since it sounds like you're getting it to load in both Loathing and Myth. "

"in my experience it's possible to have a mesh that's 2560x2560 load from the local but not even be recognised when it's built as a plugin. as far as i was able to determine, the element at fault was that the colour map collection exceeded some limitation in plugins for data size.

it seems that a mesh can't be as large as 100 submeshes and work in a plugin."

so at 2560 x 2304 that means its rendering just 80 x 72 = 5760 mesh vertices?

Well no, Myth only renders the ones you can see, but that's how many mesh vertices it's going to have to hold in memory and work with.

So, am I out of my mind, or is that a ridiculously small number (neglecting the fact that is going to visibility cull)?
