you won't get anything better unless you do it yourself. 

This.
If anyone wants to do it you can PM me for basic guidelines.

also,
diffuse map = color
normal map = bumps
specular map = light reflection

Actually, I don't see why the normal map should change the brightness at all. It defines virtual "bumps" on an otherwise flat surface, so assuming it is already correctly made, changing it won't help in any way. And if it's not correctly made you won't really be able to make it better in GIMP.

That was my point

I'll try to be clearer next time.

Couldn't you just adjust the textures contrast with photoshop and make it look grittier? If you did that you probably don't have to change the normal map since it's the same texture. But you might want to change the specular in openBRF a little.

Interesting thread.
