Lost skin? confusion

I have a skin for the XRG that is not in skins folder under XRG_*****
but is usable in game. Also I can only find it as a dds or col file?? what going on here?

I can remember making it but now cant find it?

if u deletet the .jpg file after uve crated a skin, its still there, coz the game uses the .dds files

Go to LFS/Data/Skins dds

And convert the DDS of that skin to JPEG and you should get it back

Yeah follow ^^ because it automatically converts it to .DDS

thanks for the help i downloaded a converter & changes it to
jpg only problem is its now 4x the file size of a normal skin??
