Problem with XP and need battleset for guard

If you're in XP then the chipset for any character should have four positions rather than 3 - left, right, up and down, I think. I don't know about the battlesets, though, as it's been weel over a year since I tried them, maybe closer to two, in fact.

As for your transparencies problem, I think it might be the 'level' that those items are on. If you place the house over the grass on the same level, then it will show the colour that is supposed to be transparent over it. But if you have the grass on level one, and the house on level two, then the house should show up without the transparencies.

Let me finish my posting, and I'll put together a little diagram to explain it if you don't follow me.
