well there are a few ways to change them out of PCX. The way I choose because it is quite simple is to use Ifran View and open up the PCX pictures in it since it supports them and then save them as PNGs. Look into downloading and getting IfranView Here

As for the map itself....
Looking at it in finalsun

I see various cliff errors across the map. It seems to come from not using the cliff connections/corners. Are you using Marble Madness aka framework mode?(In marble madness these pieces show up as C33a C34a C39 and C40)
I also just noticed that the water cliffs in the bottom left side of the map and the land for them is not leveled. In such that the cliff tops are at a height level of 7 while the land by the dirt road right next to them is only at 3. Confused

but besides those errors I like your cliffwork

As for the layout in general it is quite nice I must say although it seems that it is slightly imbalanced as the left side player appears to be closer to a good majority of the tiberium areas with tib trees while the right side players seems to be farther away. Although I did just notice on my 2nd scan of the area that there are some tib trees on the right side that don't start out with tib around them but would certainly produce some for that player shortly into the game.

It seems you like placing down the ammo crates. I'm sure you have some reasoning for that?

Finally...I noticed that there is white space above the blue line in final sun. This will cause a slight buggy like terrain error when viewing the bottom of the map. It will pretty much 'smear' the terrain at the bottom to fit. The way to fix this is to change the visible height of the map so that the blue line is just above the highest point on the bottom of the map. (so that there isn't any white space above the blue line)

Anyways if you fix all the errors and fix the balance a little then I think this will be a fairly good map. Provided I haven't gotten to play it in game yet though.
(BTW...you might want to remove the reveal all map trigger Wink

EDIT: arrgh Ix beat meh #Tongue

I use XCC mixer to convert pcx's.. but, I usually just use the prnt scrn button and paste in paint

it's a decent 2 player map.. (but you forgot to remove the reveal trigger dude #Tongue

)
There are a great deal of cliff errors thogh to look over, and you need some more lighting - light posts in cities, green around tiberium, black lights in places that aren't noticed as much

From what I can see in the pictures, that doesn't actually look too bad. I like maps like that one. Not too much detail and not too little detail. I'll play this one and give it my review another time.
