Sorry, it's a rare thing but I don't like that texture.
It looks very much like (
http://nameless.zanity.net/epterrain/compareImage.php?family=core&texture=blubrik1) the older version, which caught my eye as looking really bad when I was looking through some missions in-game.
The problem with it is that the surface of the bricks are insanely eroded, as though they've been completely worn away by sand or water. They're also slightly blurry, which makes it even harder to make out that detail.
That leaves each stone with a huge colour variance, with light and dark areas often right next to each other. The end result leaves the texture looking really pixellated from a distance.
Note that I haven't tried this new one in-game yet, but it looks like it will suffer from the same problem.
Also, the rocks have no reason to be that heavily eroded. They would look better if their surface was a little smoother and more consistent.

I agree with NV.

Don't know what to tell ya, that's exactly how I've always interpreted those textures. :erg: Guess I'll try a different approach, then. Got any reference material for the direction I/we should be aiming for?

Layout of the bricks is spot on Necrobob. However the surface looks strange and very busy. Can you do some overlay trick to give it similar look like in your other core_x stone textures?

What Wille said.

I thought the sign should have heavy paint and somewhat roughly made symbols but I'm not sure how I succeeded. Any comments?

Hmm, the paint "edges" look very crisp in a few places and you can tell it's been computer painted rather than brush painted. Might need some custom brushes or additional texturing on the top?

I'm using an oil paint brush I found somewhere but I probably should use some sort of board paint brush. Also I'm thinking the symbols could be carved in or made out of metal and then painted. Maybe some tiny bolts to keep the symbols in place if they are metal.
