Breaking the Draw Loop limit

Tired of the ~1000 Draw Loop limit?
Here's how to break the limit!

This is just an early example with many issues, but it works to demonstrate the trick.
It can't be stacked, which is the most significant issue, and it is far less efficient than it needs be.
I don't quite know why it can't be stacked, but if that's fixed, fixing the performance issues would be relatively easy.
Without stacking, you could still get much better performance by specialization.

I had hoped somebody would have picked it up or atleast provided some feedback.
Alas, I was all on my own on this one.
So without further ado... a much improved version of the draw loop, easily going over 10000+ iterations (although it gets a bit sluggish at that quantity).

Haven't tested it to see if it will stack, but one loop does the trick just fine. It'll probably stack if you divide the "1000" by the number of modules you want to stack. So 500 for two, 333 for three.

thanks! not sure what I could use it for in practice but its impressive never the less!

i downloaded the HugeLoop2.osm and zoomed as far out in SM as I could and dragged it as big as I could and BAM!!! SM crashed...lol it got quite big though before it went..lol
