To make this launch possible already today, I'm posting the new package with only the regular screenshots of it already working. Individual comparisons will come at a later point. Changelog lists them all, though, and I hope everyone enjoys it!

I've added the comparisons screenshots! I want to modify some of them and still add some more observations, but I need to sleep for work tomorrow. In the meanwhile, here are some highlights!
Last change before I close this pack. I wanted to fix the weird way this part of the wall looked. It's another texture. To keep visual consistency, I used the same pattern I did for the right wall on it. It's much more concentrated because of the mapping however, but it works.
Original Texture x Remaster X My Restoration of the original text with some additional fluff to it to make it partially readable while keeping its decayed aspect. Although the document came from the Schoyen Collection as previously mentioned, this is a passage (cont.)
Yourself to a deity, since our faith can be misguided by our ego. We seek to be pure, but often ignore how to be good with others and with ourselves.
You can read more about this Sutra and the Buddhism culture here:

Really interesting stuff for such a small prop :)
Possible candidate for a source? I saw this plate on "Photo Clip Art 150,000", which has stuff released by Hemera in-between 2002-2003, right around AOD's time. Will test it at home by painting the inner rings with the original texture's colors. If it fits, I will add it.
Source found! The page with Chinese lettering comes from the "SUTRA ON THE BUDDHA'S LIBERATION", Schoyen's Collection MS 2152. Since other documents in papyrus around the area come from that same collection, I thought of searching in their China section.
Comparing side by side, this one visually matches the decaying one from the original texture, by changing it to the textures original size (16x128), you get a perfect match, with the only few missing pixels being a result of heavy compression of the original.
While looking at that pack, I've come to realize that the original drawing of what seems to be some type of crown in the Café Metro entrance is actually visually based on the Ruins of the Emilia Basilica. The overall shape is the same.
I remember Delca's video showing the window texture present in this area in Paris (the expanded tutorial side), but I don't remember if he also showed the wall texture too. It's present in Marlin Studio's "Seamless Textures 7 - Great Textures of Europe", named "bldg161L".
