Well, whenever I wanted to save straight to TGA, seems that GIMP would ruin the processing during the save and would add all kinds of 1970's tie-dyed colours to my map_h and map_t files. Seems that GIMP will only save to TGA as long as your file size is under a certain amount...but dont know how much.

Saving to bmp in gimp then converting to tga with Irfanview didnt work either. While I did get better results, the game would never recognize my files after processing them with Irfanview.
