I think I might have to write a tutorial for pattern making in gimp, there really isn't a very good one around. I think you might not be composing the colors back. Here are the basic steps for patterning in gimp:
Open new 256x256 file
Right click on layer and set alpha
Decompose colors
Switch the order of the layers so you have Red on the bottom, then Green above that, then Blue and Alpha on the top
Make sure red is all white
Green should have your pattern. Since you just have 2 colors you just put your pattern in white with black bg here and then Blue and Alpha should be all black.
Now compose the colors and in the popup choose RGBA then make sure that all the colors match up below and click ok.
NOW you save that as the dds.
I will be begin working on a tutorial for making a pattern in gimp from start to finish today, even if nobody else needs it, I can always use something to look back on every now and then when I forget some small little thing XD
Ok, so the TSR has a tutorial for gimp
