Making Tokens

Hey, ive landed on this page via a roleplaying forum and i am now playing in a campaign here since some weeks already. Now i tried to figure out how to use all the really nice options in here, thanks for the ones who made this, but one thing i cant figure out: How to make these tokens mayself so they dont take away a full unit in the grid, but only the space of it the real token takes, so like with the most tokens from the market place here so that for example the troll is visible but also the background behind him. If i try to just cut out the token i desire and save it as a image file theres only the figure, but still it gets saved as a rectangular image and the background that was cut away still overlays the desired background of the grid in white. I try to view an example: 1. Take the original image 2. Cut it out with gimp and safe it like below 3. The thing id like as token with empty space in the background 4. Upload to library and insertion in map. Like you can see the background still overlaps the original map. Though i may add that in this example i saved the empty background in yet another image so that it is still tiled instead of the white id like to get away Someone has an idea? With the marketplace or the ingame seach option i cant achieve anything for the warhammer 40k setting id like to use this on, though the search option is kind of an proof that there must be a way to shape tokens in that way
I'm guessing you've got it saved as a .jpg, although I can't quite tell for sure. Try saving it as a .png, that has transparency capability that .jpg doesn't. -Phnord
Hey Phnord, yeah that was it! Using png the background now shows trough. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for the info man! (note to self. go to sourceforge.com and get gimp again...)
