    Is there a tool I could use to take a texture and make it uniformly wrap around a sphere rather than smoosh the top and bottom pole areas?

    GameMaker Map is Limiting to a Small Size

    I'm having an issue with my game. I can create a map as large as I want, which is fine, but my camera is only following my player until about 14k pixels down. After that, it stops following the player and stays at around that mark. Is this a bug, is this my system limits, or is this GMS2's limits?
