Other than some more polish, I would say that's an excellent translation from the original...The color and feel are right on the money.
Though, I would like to see both yours and Ren's version in-game, with an A/B comparison of the original.

I'd happily do it, though I need the name of a level using the keeper textures I can test out in Thief 2. I'm pretty sure that's the texture used for the floor during the training mission in TG. Problem is, I don't have TG installed, and I've squirrelled the discs away somewhere mysterious.
...and I can't buy it on GOG because I blew my monthly game load on Dishonored.
Also, I'd say right now Larry's texture is closer in style and concept to the original. Mine's similar, a little more rounded, fancy, and well...we don't know if it's polished stone or rough brick. Truth be told, either one would work. Whether one is better than the other is a matter of taste.
I guess it all depends on how slavishly we want to stick to the original style. Similar, but improved in various ways (ie a few throwaway details here and there, so long as it looks good and fits in theme), or sharper/crisper updates that stick as close as humanly possible to the source material?

Well if ZB wants, who am I to argue?

@Renzatic: if you want the PSPIMAGE file, I can get it to you to play with.

The texture is also in The Haunted Cathedral, in the Keeper Chapel, but that's still not TMA. :erg:

Sure, I'd love to check it out. I'll also (

In the meantime, I'm going to start another texture, and maybe do some digging around for my TG discs.

I think you have the idea right. I think it is peeling blue paint over an orangey wood. But you need to match the colors better. And the panel you used is clearly different from the panel used in the original. You need to match the wood panel type better, and then address the peeling paint better.
What you did is good, just not as a drop in replacement for the original.

How's this?
Inline Image:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3018396/panel_example_2.jpgNeeds some more tweaking, but you get the idea. The panel's a bit closer in design to the original.
edit: fixed above. I could probably do a little more with the paint, but the colors, panels and everything are a pretty close match to the original.
edit 2: Whew. Besides critiques and tiling, I think I'm done. What do you all think?

I would want to see them side by side and then check the proportions, color, and darkness of the replacement against the original. Just at a guess, I think the vibrancy of color is missing and the panel is not quite the right size. But it is hard to tell without them side by side.
