it's a long and complicated process if you only have a few free tools but here is how i do it

1. Press "m" (make sure an NPC in the level sets the map txt correctly)

2. Open the .PNG file in IE6

3. Copy to clipboard

5. Open paint and paste

6. Save as map.bmp

7. Open giffy (downloads.com)

8. Convert to GIF

9. Use GIF2MNG to convert back to PNG

10. Add the map image to the NPC that sets the map

Of course, this could all be fixed if stefan had it save the PNGs right in the first place

make sure to make a setmap whatevermap.png,yourtxtfile.txt,0,0;
I suggest using map2.png or map.png or something like that for the whatevermap since Graal needs one to set your txt.. then do the M thing in the editor..
then convert to gif
