Hello all,
I am trying to make an overlay that will work with 2.0 but all the old tuts no longer work with 2.0 or links don't work any more.
This overlay works in the old tokentool but not 2.0.
But in 2.0 the pink border is seen and is shown with the token.

Re: Overlay help
You are using the wrong color... It specifically has to be RGB 255,0,255 (it has to walk over every pixel and cut that color out, so if your overlay also contains that color, it gets stripped as well)
Now with that said, the new/preferred way is to save it in layers as a photoshop PSD. In Gimp, just add a new layer and add any pixels you want to be cut out. It doesn't have to match the overlay cutout exactly (I usually select the inside circle then expand it by 10-20 pixels). Color does not matter here but I will still use magenta. Hopefully you have the original still. Selecting the magenta color using the wand still left a pixel or 2 ring around the gate (due to transparency effects and such you don't always get a clean cut, also why I moved to using layers)
Below is your original image with wrong color, then I adjusted it, added it, and it worked fine. Next I created it as a layered image and saved in psd format (using the free Gimp application).
As a side note, it's good etiquette to wrap large images in spoiler tags...
(ok, seriously, what is wrong with attachments?!)
