You need a games user (which is not me) so keep visiting in the hope that one turns up.
I did look at the game site and their screenshot of editing a psd file. Not a lot of use for Gimp. Post that, or part of it, with all the layers as a Gimp xcf file, someone might sort it out.

Looking at your screenshot, white shapes on transparent background to adjust ? Is that correct ?
The RGB channels in Gimp can be edited and [u[might[/u] be a partial edit.
This a starting out made-up image (1) showing the channels dock (2) and the image decomposed (3) to show equivalence.. Dont be put off by my Gimp, the default black theme and cluttered layout does nothing for me. It is a Gimp 2.10.20
from website quote...Our PBR spec maps use 3 different greyscale maps, Metallic, Roughness, and an Alpha map used to mask out lighting effects To keep from having to have 3 different tga files to represent this, we instead use the RGBA channels in the TGA to house all 3 textures in one file.

quote...Metallic: This greyscale texture tells the sim if the pixel is metallic or not, or something in-between. If the pixel is metallic, then you use white (255,255,255 rgb). If the pixel is non metallic you use black (0,0,0 rgb). Typically, this is a yes or no question...
The shapes can be isolated by selection. Easiest way is Layer -> Transparency -> Alpha to Selection With the red channel active, painted in or out, black or white. (4)
quote...The roughness channel tells the sim how rough the surface of the object is. white (255, 255, 255 rgb) is very rough, and therefore isn’t very reflective. Black (0,0,0) is totally smooth and therefore very reflective. This channel replaces the green channel in our spec maps
Some grey value painted in ? With the green channel active paint in the selections with your value. (5)

With the selection off, the image / layers / channels looks like (6)
Exporting to a .tga file and going back to the title, decomposing that image gives the same as the edited image (7). Might / might not work, I have seen reports the Gimp 2.10 TGA export is not 100%.
best of luck.
