Jorge Bernal 6d63446710 BGE: Fix for precision lost in setBackground/getBackground at Video Texture
Now internally the variables are processed as floats avoiding int->float->char conversions that are causing precision lost.

A check for int numbers is maintained to keep compatibility with old behaviour.

Video Texture (bge.texture)
===========================
*****
Intro
*****
The bge.texture module allows you to manipulate textures during the game.
Several sources for texture are possible: video files, image files, video capture, memory buffer, camera render or a mix of that.
The video and image files can be loaded from the internet using an URL instead of a file name.
In addition, you can apply filters on the images before sending them to the GPU, allowing video effect: blue screen, color band, gray, normal map.
bge.texture uses FFmpeg to load images and videos. All the formats and codecs that FFmpeg supports are supported by this module, including but not limited to::
* AVI
* Ogg
* Xvid
* Theora
* dv1394 camera
* video4linux capture card (this includes many webcams)
* videoForWindows capture card (this includes many webcams)
* JPG
The principle is simple: first you identify a texture on an existing object using
the :materialID: function, then you create a new texture with dynamic content
and swap the two textures in the GPU.
The GE is not aware of the substitution and continues to display the object as always,
except that you are now in control of the texture.
When the texture object is deleted, the new texture is deleted and the old texture restored.

.. class:: FilterRGBA32()

.. function:: getLastError()
Last error that occurred in a bge.texture function.
:return: the description of the last error occurred in a bge.texture function.
:rtype: string
.. function:: imageToArray(image,mode)
Returns a :class:`~bgl.buffer` corresponding to the current image stored in a texture source object.
:arg image: Image source object.
:type image: object of type :class:`VideoFFmpeg`, :class:`ImageFFmpeg`, :class:`ImageBuff`, :class:`ImageMix`, :class:`ImageRender`, :class:`ImageMirror` or :class:`ImageViewport`
:arg mode: optional argument representing the pixel format.
You can use the characters R, G, B for the 3 color channels, A for the alpha channel,
0 to force a fixed 0 color channel and 1 to force a fixed 255 color channel.
Example: "BGR" will return 3 bytes per pixel with the Blue, Green and Red channels in that order.
"RGB1" will return 4 bytes per pixel with the Red, Green, Blue channels in that order and the alpha channel forced to 255.
A special mode "F" allows to return the image as an array of float. This mode should only be used to retrieve
the depth buffer of the ImageViewport and ImageRender object.
The default mode is "RGBA".
:type mode: string
:rtype: :class:`~bgl.buffer`
:return: A object representing the image as one dimensional array of bytes of size (pixel_size*width*height),
line by line starting from the bottom of the image. The pixel size and format is determined by the mode
parameter. For mode 'F', the array is a one dimensional array of float of size (width*height).
.. function:: materialID(object,name)
Returns a numeric value that can be used in :class:`Texture` to create a dynamic texture.
The value corresponds to an internal material number that uses the texture identified
by name. name is a string representing a texture name with IM prefix if you want to
identify the texture directly. This method works for basic tex face and for material,
provided the material has a texture channel using that particular texture in first
position of the texture stack. name can also have MA prefix if you want to identify
the texture by material. In that case the material must have a texture channel in first
position.
If the object has no material that matches name, it generates a runtime error. Use try/except to catch the exception.
Ex: bge.texture.materialID(obj, 'IMvideo.png')
:arg object: the game object that uses the texture you want to make dynamic
:type object: game object
:arg name: name of the texture/material you want to make dynamic.
:type name: string
:rtype: integer
.. function:: setLogFile(filename)
Sets the name of a text file in which runtime error messages will be written, in addition to the printing
of the messages on the Python console. Only the runtime errors specific to the VideoTexture module
are written in that file, ordinary runtime time errors are not written.
:arg filename: name of error log file
:type filename: string
:rtype: integer
