makebot([checkdepends=boolean], [checkres=uint], [input=string], [nooverwrite=boolean], [output=string], [verbose=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
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.
