That looks kind of like fabric instead of tile.

I was briefly messing with a PHP page to show all the textures on one page, but now I'm thinking that might not be the best idea:
1353 terrain textures, not including full (palette) files.
~30MB.
That many images on one page just isn't practical, let alone on my slow personal server.

I wanted to give it a grainy painted stone look, but yeah, you're right.
It's changed above. How's that?

I'm not a fan of the bumpiness of that texture. From a distance it looks like the sort of Floyd-Steinberg dithering you used to always see on low-color GIFs.

Feel free to send it to me if you like and I'll stick it up on either the main thiefmissions server or I'll fire up a new VM for it.
I can easily plow imagemagick over a huge directory of files and have it resize them all if you want thumbnailing; that's trivial.

I think something more like this (I used the NEWKEEP version for my baseline comparisons, but blessed if I can tell a difference between that and the KEEPER version):
[ATTACH=CONFIG]1283[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH=CONFIG]1284[/ATTACH]
at 4X (128) it looks like this

How does it look tiled? The original looks like the individual pieces are packed tightly together, so you can just barely see the seam. It's more suggested than anything.
Actually, what T2 level has that texture in place?

It looks grouted. At 32x32 the original couldn't preserve grouting. If you use 1 pixel for grout it would look wrong and too wide. But with 128x128 there is room for a reasonable grouting. And I think that would have been the original intent. I can try and minimize the grout a bit more, but I think it should be visible with a high res texture.

I'd like to see Renzatic's texture (and superior color matching) combined with Larry's grout work (which does indeed disappear when scaled down to the size of the original texture).
Groutless tile installations are apparently mostly done with smaller, decorative tiles, on vertical surfaces. So it would be helpful to see where this texture is used.
