wouldn't it be better to wait with such textures till the engine supports wall aligned 3D models? I mean the baron liks like painted on the wall ... just my two Cents.....

Why not both?
there will be decal models in the future in another pack
Edit: Doesn't appear to be a new pack, At first I thought it was a new pack released so soon after the last one. I looked into the newest pack from about a week ago that is on my drive and the switches are the same as the older ones and isn't updated with these ones, then went back to that site and I see no download. So it must only be for previews for now.
Nice switches, except two things:
- original switch have triangle shaped light in lower green area
- original look very shiny and metallic, your version looks more like concrete or something
this is why we need to implement the old patch textures that doom uses but for HD.
I believe, doomsday already does, but textures won't fit together aswell by just using patches, extra stuff is done to blend thigns together in gimp
Doomsday does not support external replacements for the individual patches that make up a complete texture.
You can find an old forum thread where I requested support for this in the past; as it would allow external replacements (such as hi-res textures) for many mods that create new textures out of the original games patches (i.e there are many mods out there that stick the original games switch patches on different original game background patches).
Naturally, an external texture replacement with the same name as a mods texture would need to overrule external patch replacements and there are some limits with regards to the current folder system that could perhaps only be solved with the addition of sub folders and/or metadata.
The Dday material system, once completed seems like it would be able to function as metadata. While the addition of user controllable folder mapping (i.e I could point Dday at a folder called 'Textures\Doom2\GothicTextures'; naturally people would have to find every mod that uses textures from the Gothic texture pack and write metadata pointing them at that folder) and ability for Dday to access external graphic replacements directly, rather than only as replacements for in wad graphics, would perhaps deal with the current folder limitations.
I installed them in GZDoom the same way I did in Zandronum, extracting the textures and flats folders from the deng version. They work except that the textures that are supposed to be shiny are dark.

Shine maps are a visual feature exclusive to Doomsday.
I tried the ZDoom version in GZDoom, and nothing happened. I put it into the GZDoom folder, and nothing happened. I specifically loaded it in using ZDL, and nothing. Then I got the deng version and extracted the flats and textures folders and it worked. Years ago, I tried putting the DHTP in Skulltag's skins folder (this was before Zandronum), and it did not work. Somebody suggested the folder-extracting trick, and it works.
It would be awesome to have a non-shine-map-dependent version for other ports.
Just now, after typing the above, I tried extracting the hires folder from the ZDoom version into the GZDoom folder and it did not work.
On another issue, when I play Doom 2 with DHTP in either GZDoom or Zandronum, I see hi-res versions of the skies from Doom 1.
I find it rather strange that people would come to Doomsday looking for textures for another format. Doomsday is a horse of a different color and the things made for it are exclusive, this is why we use it. I know that some things can be made to work elsewhere but it should not expected.

The columns on SUPPORT3 and the row of vents along the bottom of SPACEWC3 are notably off compared to the originals.

Version 20150623
Has improved textures and some new plutonia textures
Can get it from http://dhtp.hiriwa.com
Updated some textures
And the new skull looks way better too now
I'd like to see the switch for example seen at sw1ston1 texture updated at the quality like the green switch too. The new light looks much better

Really awesome!
This looks so much better.
Especially I didnt liked that much on the current one, that the shadow of the light was just a square on top of it, just a little bit moved.
This one doesnt have it and the texture itself looks much much better too.
Great job on this.

feel free to use them to improve the current textures
- original switch have triangle shaped light in lower green area
- original look very shiny and metallic, your version looks more like concrete or something
You can use my version as a reference:
Link updated to include two different versions with triangle green light

However: I would prefer the fourth image then.
The textures should work with GZDoom please though. I prefer it over Doomsday.
you shouldnt use the doomsday pack, there is a special version of the pack for zdoom
and if you use zandronum, all you need to do is drop the pk3 in the 'skins' folder

There's total 13 textures fit/tiled each other. Here's png pack:
