I believe there's a mapster32 script that changes all the sprites and sectors using that tilenum range to use higher tilenums

Alt + C in 3D mode allows to replace every texture around a level that is assigned to floors, ceilings, walls and sprites (treated separately) with the one currently in cache (Tab), at once.

Obviously goes without saying that editing existing released user maps in that way prior to a new redistribution without the consent of the original authors would not especially be encouraged (most of the readme's traditionally allowing redistribution only 'as is, without any modifications').

So I can’t add life’s a beach to my mod like this mod did? I’m using the original maps and textures. Not the ones from this mod.

When it comes to the official add-ons I have no idea what one really can do, or how AA goes about it (it's a good question, the current status of those maps). I'm mostly thinking about user maps that if one went about to collect, reedit and redistribute wouldn't catch a particularly good look, unless there is at least an attempt at communication with the respective authors to make sure each maker is fine with it.

That list of all the maps above actually is funny to me because I never even realized this many of my own released user maps were in War of Attrition until now. I only knew about AMC Pleaser being in I'm pretty sure. Not that I mind because Dan's a pal and I genuinely appreciate his appreciation (I've probably green lighted it before too), plus his selection is tasteful and allows for more people being exposed to the maps, but different people in comparable situations could be bummed, for instance if they have a different plan of their own for the future of the presentation of their levels.

Oh ok yeah i misunderstood you. For my user map filled slaughter map episode I read the readmes and followed their usage parameters to a T. So I’m covered there. Thanks for the Alt+C command. Forgot all about that.

Yes, by the time we got around to it, tiles 014 and 015 were already being used by our own tiles so I had to put the VACA tiles elsewhere and then edit the maps with a script. The sounds were also a problem with a similar solution.
