Try using the original tex but scaling it up in editor.
The other option is to use the original tex centered in the opening then add a surround to hide the errant pixels. I already tried with pasting over the texture, but this won't work. Seems the black square appears every time from a distance.
The texture limit is 128x128, so scaling up will divide it to more texture units. (argh... texture count!) Just about done with this one. Just needs to be tweaked here and there and perhaps beta-tested. Let me know if you would be interested in doing that and can give me some intelligent feedback.

Brush work looks solid and fairly original generally but lacks unique features from one area to another, such as could be provided by small level detailing, etc and ends up looking slightly plain. This could be a texturing problem actually, maybe try replacing some of the brick texture with something else in places but generally it looks great Oh right, yeah, the map.
Kinda dark in places and the texturing is a bit repetitive, but I like the brushwork and theme. The build quality is there (I mean there aren't weird assortments of odd-shaped brushes), but there isn't much of anything there. The walls are exceedingly flat. You've put in a few cool touches (damaged bits, wires, and artificial colored lighting from the slime), but those aren't doing much for the overall detail level. Comparing this to Ph8DM1, I know you can do better.
Sorry to be harsh, but that's the way it is. theres so much detail and variation you can do with idbase. no need to keep the same wall texture over the whole map. plenty of 'detail' textures that can be used like comps and stuff, that lend themselves to their own brushes rather than being wall decoration
take some time and play older idbase sp/dm maps and apply some of what you see to your map. and dont forget CRATES "Sorry to be harsh, but that's the way it is."
No thats quite fine, I've actually been asking around what I should do... the map is going *somewhere* (up), but I don't know how yet. Thanks! (BTW, there are some crates ;) ) this time with light. doing the whole map with 0 minlight, meaning i'll have to pay that much more attention to make sure it works properly. mostly a learning experience...
http://www.planetquake.com/necros/levels/lend/lend1.jpg Either that lava texture is too bright or there isn't enough falloff on the light that comes off of it. It looks like the surrounding area should be alot brighter than it is. I'd personally replace it with water actually to fit with the overall gloomy style.
Save that though, it looks very good.
