Bingo! I grew up working these faires. I left at 19, when I installed a thief demo, and was like, oh hello home. I used to sneak around at night with other people to see if we wouldn't be seen. Back then most people lived in their booth during the week.
I figured it was something like that. Sometimes the Texas Renaissance Festival reminds me of how some people old gave dressed in the Thief world.

That last one Nicked has the right yellow and tan alternating, or the best I've seen so far. It will repeat a lot though, almost looking like a grid. I will try to hack at it to make it look unique because this texture will have the most surface area of any texture in the mission.

Don't think it'd be too noticeable if you were recreating the photo above - if you have a dirty version for ground level and it's broken up by windows. But yes, hack away to your heart's content! :D

There the left and right side to that front, that has nothing to break it up. The dark brick just repeats loudly. I don't mean to sun unappreciating though. I will see what I can do. Who do I give credit to? Is it so and so's modded by you? etc

Repeating textures is typical of video games. :) This method saves both time and memory.

John, I played love story, there are parts where I cannot tell your textures are repeating, although they are. I'm not trying to avoid repeating, I am trying to avoid them looking super obvious repeating. If you have a 512 by 512 texture of grass, you may not see the repeat. If you have the same with bricks, you will see the same off-color brick over and over in a rows and columns. Once worse, if it's a 512 built from a 256 pattern. I'm not asking for a giant non repeating texture. I am asking for 512 or 1024 that is hard to spot the repeat. I didn't think I was asking for much.
Here is one I made that definitely repeats but it's broken up well:

For crediting, it's just me - I made it from a photo I took with my own camera.

Texture repetition is less of an issue if the architecture is suitably complex and (particularly) your spaces are lit up well. The source architecture should ensure the first; a good lighting pass the second. :D
I think that texture is rather good for a general building material.

Niiiiice! Speaking of which I have a stone wall I took a photo of here in Portland I have to make seamless. Lucky it's all broken up medieval style.

I agree but this is the precise issue, the place is brightly moon lit, and there is a broad faces where it will in fact show. If not I'd never make this thread, and also, I don't mean to insult his/her texture, it is mighty good.

So I kept sizing up and randomizing bricks with cloning and copy and paste, up and up, and tried to spot patch repeating features. It's not bad. Might be the final. In the dark it's nice and dirty. THANKS NICKED!
