I have these as well and looking at the pictures auntielynds provided of how the files should be used, I would say that the .tga files might not be missing but have the wrong extension. For instance, all seven of the cobblestone road files are there, so I suggest renaming the two normal map files from .dds to .tga and see if that works.
Those were pulled straight from the world file and if you were pull those files straight from the world file they would be a .dds even though if you were to drag Monte Vista into CAW they would be a .tga. But even then they should still display properly even if they are a .dds.
Have you tried checking in game to see if they look properly? Or have you tried exiting and reloading CAW (of course having your files backed up first) to see if that helps?
OP says above: I tried using the file of the same name ending in .dds but the intersections look funny.
auntielynds included a picture of what files should be used. The two normal map files, in the picture, end in .tga but the two files have a .dds extension in the file folder. Why does the pic show .tga but the file itself have a .dds??? Hence our experimenting.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe I used those files? Which is why I was asking them if they had tried the 2 suggestions I mentioned.
I've used those files as they are and it turned out fine for me. Also CAW uses the Base Game lighting so there not going to look the same as they would in Monte Vista due to MV's unique lighting just like they won't look the same if I was to use them in Moonlight Falls or Midnight Hollow which by the way I've done.
*Edit*
But anyway @KarilynMonroe2 here's a free online .dds to .tga conversion tool you can try I've never used it so I can't say how well it works https://www.aconvert.com/image/dds-to-tga/
