If you don't need the overlay, you just need to supply one command line
argument: the base name of your mod. The script will use that parameter as the
basis of its texture filenames. For example:
./gentextures.sh mymod
The script will then look for mymod_base.png and copy and convert it into
things like mymod_red.png, mymod_dark_blue.png, and so on.
If you want to use an overlay also, run the script with the base name as the

All of the output files will be placed in a new folder, generated-textures/ in

they're right, copy them over to the textures/ folder in your mod.
The script has a third mode as well:
./gentextures.sh -t mymod myoverlay.png
In this mode, the script will leave the base texture mymod_base.png unchanged,
and instead will rotate the colors of the overlay image and then composite that
onto the base texture. The same color changes will happen with the overlay in
this mode, so it's a good idea to make the overlay some fairly saturated shade
of red. Along with that, the base image should be some neutral color; any
color is fine as long as the result is what you wanted.
Use your favorite image browser or file manager to review the results in
generated-textures/, and if they're right, copy them over to the textures/
folder in your mod.
