Ok guys, this "try GIMP" just didn't leave me alone, so... i went and tried it one more time. Problems, big problems.
The file in question ish map_t.tga. I went to MicroDem, extracted a area and converted it with "Terrain texture 16 RGB v2.dbf" from CW. I saved the result as BMP and the converted it to grayscale in GIMP and saved it as map_t.tga.
Now, if you can have a look at the pictures, you will see what is bothering me :S Gimps map_t is all wrong regarding texturing. I used default load.ini parameters from online mountain map and this is the result:

Then i repeated the procedure of creating map_t.tga from BMP but i used Photoshop. Result is much better, but there are still some vilages on the mountains that should not be there (and are there because of the way that PS manages grayscale transformations):

Can you give me any insight as to how to alter the gimp procedure to have an OK results?
If you need the map_t.tga files, they are here:
gimp: http://zuti.mine.nu/myupload/Map_T_gimp.tga
ps: http://zuti.mine.nu/myupload/Map_t_ps.tga
Any help greatly appreciated! Gimps map_h.tga is quite nicer!
