To properly convert a texture you have as a jpg file to Kingpin pcx, tga format you will have to convert the file to Indexed Mode using the Kingpin palette.

<p>Kingpin uses some times textures that have a fixed palette of 256 colors. This is known as <em>Indexed Mode</em> in most image manipulation programs. To properly convert a texture you have as a jpg file to Kingpin pcx, tga format you will have to convert the file to Indexed Mode using the Kingpin palette. Let's now have a look at how to do that in the great and free image manipulation software [http://www.gimp.org GIMP].</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Importing the Kingpin palette into GIMP</strong> <br /><br /> You only need to do this once for your installation of GIMP. <br /><br /> The Kingpin palette is saved in the file main/pics/colormap.pcx of your Kingpin installation.

If this is too annoying you can also grab the file [https://www.kingpin.info/download/index.php?dir=kingpin/main/pics/&file=kingpin_colormap.zip here.]<br /><br /> Now that you have the file it's time to import this palette into GIMP. Open GIMP and load the file colormap.pcx. Let's first make sure that you have the <em>Palettes</em> tab in your GIMP toolbox. If you do, your toolbox should look similar to this one:</p>
