Only bmp to frm, nothing else will give you good results. But why do you want to use frm anyway? The FOnline engine doesn't need them.

'What I'm trying to do is replace 2 FRM files with PNG/BMP, but it won't read them and still keeps the same FRM file.

If this is for a client side mod (and you don't have access to the server files), then the filename must be the same. So if it's FRM, it has to stay FRM - you have to convert the graphics.

I don't have anything for PNG, but I found 2 tools in my Dropbox archive with names that suggest they might do the job for BMP and GIF:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3880395/gif2frm.zip

Don't ask me how to use them, I never used it. I don't even know if it works. It's probably command line tools.

You can check TeamX utils too, i'm sure there is something what may be useful.

The best solution would be to convert PNGs to GIFs or 256-color BMPs and then use Frame Animator to make FRMs. You will have to apply Fallout's color palette to GIFs before conversion.
