The seems between the boards in all of your wood textures are too uniform, so they're implying laminate flooring. Even a new wood floor will have more variable gaps, crooked boards, and rough edges, and on an old wood floor the effect will be especially pronounced. Boards will never square up quite right, so some edges will touch, others will bow out in the middle and touch at the edges, and some edges and corners will be completely disconnected from the adjacent board.

Even a light going over with variable gapping will improve the illusion (this won't tile):

Wow! Looks amazing! You're doing the Builder's work, son.

Looking at the originals for the rescor_1\books, the shelves there look like they have warped down a bit from the weight of the books over time, while yours don't. And the original rescor_1\books01a looks to me like it was intended to be two rows deep. A little odd, but that's what it looks like. What do you think?
The color on obj\txt16\drape1 looks washed out. I think in changing the color you lost definition.

I've updated the progress page, and it looks we've reached 17% of the terrain textures updated!
Somehow that sounds low for the amount of work that's been done. The count isn't 100% accurate, though, since it counts each of the frames in an animated texture as a full texture (I might fix that at some point.)
I now have ~300MB of EP2 content collected.

The central gap among the tiles has an unsettling phantom graphical effect. Can that be toned down?

Doesn't this seem too rough for the panelling it is trying to recreate?

Yeah, I've totally overlooked that detail... I'll see what I can do.

I'm not sure about this. These textures already have quite a lot of fake depth, so increasing this illusion with second row of books seems kinda unreasonable to me...

Apparently MediaFire doesn't allow free users to upload files larger than 200MB. I guess I should find a different free file host to put up alpha crfs.
