Yes, you've got the basic concept right. You might find that this explanation here helps you out a bit. You could probably just count up 10 colors in the color gradient chart here:
Just sample that color with your color picker tool in whatever program you're using. You might have to mess around with it a bit to get it just right.

I open converth, but as soon as I press a key it closes down.
Someone please help me!
Sorry, didn't see this until just now. Did you edit a batch file with notepad? converth.exe is a command line program so clicking on it will pretty much accomplish nothing. If not that, then are your input files 512X512 24-bit .BMP images?

No, I didn't edit a batch file with notepad.
What is a batch file?
How could I do this?

What I had in mind though, was the classicgen map in the size of pug with water around. And the hills would be slightly lower, like maybe 3/4th. But seriously though, you don't have to make it or anything, unless you really want to, of course.
The size of "pug"?
You might need to explain that better to me. Sounds like a jojoestinky map, though.
If you want the hills lower then, yeah I'd need to probably play around with this in the heightmapper. But I'm willing to take a stab at it. The one problem with me map was that I clipped off too much of the blue side on the left and the blues all spawn in water. But I was just trying out an idea.

The source code is here (coded in fairly portable C). I release these into the public domain. Requires bottom-left uncompressed 512x512 RGBA tga files. ./mknorm <img.tga >norm.tga; ./norm2bump <norm.tga >bump.tga; ./bump2vxl img.tga bump.tga map.vxl. Don't understand it? Don't use it then.
