"body": "**Describe the bug (REQUIRED)**\r\nCrash when I try to load a tilesource as sprite of a game object. Works well with a tilesource having 30 tiles, but crashing with tilesource having 50 tiles.\r\n\r\n**To Reproduce (REQUIRED)**\r\nSteps to reproduce the behavior:\r\n1. Open the project and build it to see it works (maximize the window to see the girl at the bottom left - sorry for black on black, as I removed the backgrounds layers)\r\n2. Go back to the project\r\n3. Go to `main.collection`, \r\n4. On `girl` go, replace the image with `/main/GirlRunningRight.tilesource` and the default animation with `GirlRunsRight`\r\n5. Save and Build\r\n6. See error\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior (REQUIRED)**\r\n```\r\nAssertion failed: image->m_MipMapOffset.m_Count <= MAX_MIPMAP_COUNT, file ..\\src\\gamesys\\resources\\res_texture.cpp, line 129\r\nINFO:CRASH: Successfully wrote Crashdump to file: C:\\Users\\...\\AppData\\Roaming\\Defold/_crash\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Defold version (REQUIRED):**\r\n - Version 1.4.3 - Channel editor-alpha\r\n\r\n**Platforms (REQUIRED):**\r\n - Platforms: Windows \r\n - OS: Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.1413\r\n - Device: PC AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics 3.80 GHz - 32G RAM\r\n\r\n**Minimal repro case project (OPTIONAL):**\r\nPlease attach a minimal project where the bug is reproduced. This will greatly help the person trying to investigate and fix the bug.\r\n\r\n**Logs (OPTIONAL):**\r\nPlease provide relevant logs from engine, editor or build server. Learn where the logs are stored [here](https://defold.com/manuals/getting-help/#log-files).\r\n\r\n**Workaround (OPTIONAL):**\r\nDoes not crash with default animation (`GirlStandingRight.tilesource` - `GirlStandsRight`).\r\n\r\n**Screenshots (OPTIONAL):**\r\nIf applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.\r\n\r\n**Additional context (OPTIONAL):**\r\nAdd any other context about the problem here.",
