Ortho Minimap Big Map
@Rex [they/them] is there any way to save the loaded parts of the big map? It's really useful but annoying that every time I reload the game the big map is blank. (also is there a way of loading the whole map at once, taking a snapshot, and then setting LOD back to normal? i tried some of the LOD commands but they didn't do anything)

This is one of the reasons I marked the big map as experimental. I haven't figured out how to save 1 GiB of pixels in a way that works client-only (so saving them inside the save file is out of the question)

Loading the whole map at once is simply not possible. I tried it once on a machine with 64 GiB of RAM and I ended up running out of RAM :LUL:
That's why I have this system where I capture small sections of the map and combine them inside a 16384x16384 "Virtual Render Target 2D" (a cursed thing I made, it stores pixels in system RAM to reduce video RAM usage)
thanks so much, that makes sense.
