Synopsis

makebot [-checkdepends] [-checkres uint] [-input string] [-nooverwrite] [-output string] [-verbose]

makebot is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

The makebot command takes an image file and produces a block ordered texture (BOT) file, to be used for texture caching. If a relative pathname is specified for the input image file, project management rules apply. If a relative pathname is specified for the output BOT file, project management rules apply and gets put into the sourceImages directory.
