I haven't been able to figure out how to make Photoshop display a texture tiled so you can paint on it like as seen in the link above. Note that this is not the same thing as using the offset filter, that only divides it into four sections which isn't as good a method. I have Texture Maker but it would be beneficial to be able to paint this way in Photoshop too because the paint brushes in Texture Maker aren't very good. Does anybody know how?

Just fill a layer with a pattern. Or use the Pattern Brush to paint in a layer.

The  trick is to impersonate what the other program does, in ps,

flatten a texture- double the image's canvas size, select the image area. Copy ,

paste a coppy on each side and ech corner (or drag it over to the white area )

it wont be seamless but the trick might be to flip things on an axis

or for even more Whacked out idea  create aspecific size tile and create a double brush.  say you have a 400x400 tile  if you have two exact same brush heads (acting as one actual brush) with thier centre's 400 pixels apart you can paint over seams , you may need a vertical and horisontal versions (?)

the image i provide is a single brush you can try as experiment.

i made a 800x800 image and used a 400x 400 grid as aguide (pity the large prush didn't snap to the grid  /sigh)

using the image of the previous post as  the brush and here's how it turned out,

it was only an idea that didn't quite workout (for pure large brush work)

perhaps we renderosity folk  should  make a 'fan art gallery" section... if there isn't one
