Making seamless, scalable objects

Question

I'm trying to make a level/levels for a game, and the walls are my biggest challenge, because I have to re-scale textures every time I make a new wall of a different size.

Is there a way to have a texture scale automatically when I change the size? For example, I properly scaled the texture on the middle wall (see image), but the smaller (left) and larger (right) walls have skewed textures. I want these to mimic the scale of the middle wall. Is there a node for this?

Thanks!

EDIT:

New node still doesn't help:

Blend file uploaded here: http://www.filedropper.com/walltesting_2

Still not working with new texture:

I was playing around with settings, but I can't seem to get it to work (thats why flat was selected). Even with BOX, still doesnt work :/

I should note that the solution here: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/22872/unwrap-uv-map-proportionally-to-object-size
does not work for me. It just causes the texture to become very squished, and I can't change the scale. — Vranvs, Mar 06 '16 at 01:07

You can do this by using Position texture coordinates.

Just use the Position output of the Input > Geometry node for your texture coordinates. This uses absolute world-space instead of the scaled local-space, so the textures will not be stretched. To get it to map from all directions, select Box on the image texture node.

Still not working, see edit. Thank you for your help though. – Vranvs Mar 06 '16 at 01:16
@Vranvs That's strange, box mapping should have fixed that. Let me try something. – PGmath Mar 06 '16 at 01:24
@Vranvs Is it possible you could upload your .blend (or just the relevant parts of it) so I could take a look at it? – PGmath Mar 06 '16 at 01:30
Added a link to my blend file.. see edit. :) – Vranvs Mar 06 '16 at 01:33
Crap, Im not sure how to include the material with the file – Vranvs Mar 06 '16 at 01:35
@Vranvs Go to file > External Data > Pack all into .blend. (In playing with your file I just used a different texture and it worked fine.) – PGmath Mar 06 '16 at 01:36

Okay, I will try a different texture – Vranvs Mar 06 '16 at 01:39
@Vranvs In that file you still had Flat selected on the texture, I changed it to Box and it worked fine. – PGmath Mar 06 '16 at 01:39
What the hell am I doing wrong?? I'm copying your settings exactly and can't get that result (See 3 new pics above) – Vranvs Mar 06 '16 at 01:45
