You don't convert bmp to wsz

You paint over all your bits of the base skin in whatever design you like, save them as bmp and then put them inside a zip archive file , something like myskin.zip, then simply rename that file using windows explorer to myskin.wsz

I belive the latest version of the Winzip archive utility supports writing .wsz files directly, check it out.
