First of all, the files appear to be in TrueVision TGA (TGA version 2).

If you run a 'strings' tool against the tga files, you will see:
TRUEVISION-XFILE

For whatever reason, even the IrfanView viewer cannot view it:

So either IrfanView does not read TGA2 files, or the files are corrupted. I have to believe the latter.

In any case, you are starting with a BMP file you claim. Another TGA editor that I have used is DogWaffle. I have used successfully on Everquest TGA files.

There is a commercial and a freeware (v1.2) version.
