I want the png files to be in my map folder...its just .cfg and .material files on the maps I created...

In GIMP go File>> Export and you have to export your file as .png. Type in your mapnameTerrain.png and that will export it to a .png image.

You use GIMP to make the .png images. The game doesn't create new .png images every time you make a map, it will only create the .cfg and .material files. Only you make the .png files, the easiest way to do that, is with GIMP or another similar program.

The .material files and the .cfg files are correct files, they stay where and how they are.

 I'm kinda confused on what you are trying to get, cause usually when you save a png it's one of the options in the "Saving" steps. To save a png is with the other options with jpg.

Please make your own thread Emma in future, rather than bumping old threads.

To answer your question though. Are you using a later version of GIMP (2.8 + )? When saving images as .png on the newer version, you have to go to File>> Export and then add .png after naming your image.
