If you use Photoshop CC 2017 (may also be in other versions of CC) there is a filter to generate a normal map from your texture you have.

The rdmo file is basically a specular layer to determine how shiny areas on the ball are. the red color is basically no shine, magenta/purple is a medium shine, and blue would make it very shiny.

I've been having trouble here too, I used ps to create a normal map but when i open the normal maps 2k use its a completely different color scheme then what i always work with and its hard to replicate it, would just a regular normal map still work?
