The original textures of WA series have some errors, which I tried to fix. Few of them are just impossible to repair (eg. lack of seamlessness of dark blue Tundra chaos-like tile) without remaking a texture - these are still present, as the idea is to remain Faithful to the original. The result is a Faithful texture pack, which covers almost all the textures in corrected versions. WA, MoFI, PotZ and WA3 Editor sets are available for download, installation instructions can be found below.

Uninstallation:
Simply replace all the files from Faithful pack with the backup you've made in step 1. of your installation.
Using Faithful in other leveltexes:
Original MS textures can be used in custom ones freely, so can Faithful ones, but under one condition: in the description of your leveltex, add a line "MS textures based on Faithful pack by Pawelec".
Gallery:
Changes to many textures were rather cosmetic, there are screens of textures with most changes, all of them taken in WA trilogy hubs and advs, upper one is the original leveltex, while lower one is with Faithful pack. Enjoy!

As of now, all my levels (including ones in upcoming retake of my WA graphics' tutorials) will use Faithful pack.
, no changes are planned. Besides, the texture was barely modified, the only change was the 2-pixel-wide frame, so the tiling could be seamless.
