Game halts upon opening configuration menu
With no other addons installed outside of this addon's dependency, when the configuration panel is opened, the game freezes indefinitely with the following lua error:
[Volumetric Lighting / Fog] lua/entities/volume_cloud.lua:54: called mesh.Begin with a primitive count which results in too many vertices (1228824, maximum=32768)

Sometimes it only freezes when the main menu is opened after the error occurs, but otherwise the error is identical. It also happens on both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the game.

And sometimes it doesn't even freeze at all. The error remains mostly consistent, though, and no volumetric fog appears.

It looks like you set the subdivisions too high somehow.

I'm looking in the code rn and I've set clear mins and maxes for that.

ah, looks like I forgot to set limits on the ConVars themselves. The gui had limits but the convars didn't have any.
