1 year ago I was expecting the mod to use the texture pack provided by texture_path (in my case rpg16) Instead it uses the textures from the mods. And then rpg16 textures simply acted as a normal texturepack.
Yes, that's how it currently works: It searches all mods for textures, then applies overrides based on mod load order. It doesn't take texture packs into account since I was unaware that I could get their paths using texture_path (and mod security will probably block reads from texture packs, but this can be circumvented by using an insecure environment).
However, even if texgen were to use the texture pack textures as a base, the texture pack would still override them; you'd have to leave, turn off the texture pack, turn off texgen, extract the textures into a texture pack, then rejoin with that...
Perhaps I could also use "hacks" like changing the texture_path setting after generating the texture pack and hoping it takes effect...
I tried this workaround: turn the TP into a mod that depends on the same mods as texgen. And make texgen depends on it. But that doesn't seem to work. I am assuming the textures modified are the one used when an item is registered?
That should actually work, but if RPG16 is still enabled, the RPG16 textures will still override the texgen textures. Does it not work if you disable RPG16?

I finally took the time to play with this mod! But something confused me.

original with rpg16 (notice the cliff, dirt, stone and grass on the left)
with texgen and rpg16
with texgen and blank texture_path (my palette doesn't contain gray/brown, and is more muted than rpg16)
I am wondering if I am missing some setting, or if this is done on purpose. Or maybe it is a limitation?
