[Implemented] MakeTexture(#ID, Image) command add

[Rook Zimbabwe]

Use TextureOutput()

If only there was a way to use the images you have already included IN your program as textures instead of having to load them each time. This would be a good thing IMHO!

Until version 4.30 there were the function: TextureOutput()

1. This command would tell people that its okay to change textures with the CPU, but its definately not!
2. There's a better alternative for animated textures: material scripts or shaders

I agree with you but only for the texture animation part. Without the possibility to draw on the texture the static procedural texture generation (the texture will remain the same) are no longer possible. The only workaround it's to draw an image, save the image on disk somewhere, load the texture, then delete the image file. This is not a very elegant solution.

Even if it's not a best solution, the abilities to draw on the texture output are a very important feature to create the texture on the fly.

Best regards.
