Walking or running over a water floor (COL tile byte 4 bit 0) now throws a splash each frame, as 0x80050770 does: a kind 5 flight, flags 0x10705, sprite 275, half-size 100, speed rand % 150 capped at 100, within 2048 of straight up, spin 3000, bounce 1000, 1000 ms. Standing on a mover or on an object above the floor is not water.

The walk's step event (frame event bit 256) picks the step sound:

• Reptar (character 34): 108 on every step.
• Spike in water: 57 every fifth step in level 4, 176 in level 16.
• Anyone in water outside the hub (and Spike in the hub's water too): 27.
• Otherwise none. The general footstep table 0x800c4ec4 is all zero while playing (checked on the original), so a dry step makes no sound.

In level 7 (Reptar 2010) Reptar's step puts down a puff (0x80050c48): kind 5, flags 0x30705, sprite 397, half-size 64, speed 100, between parts 3 and 7 at the height of part 7.

Test: walking_in_water_splashes puts Spike on the water floor nearest level 4's start and runs him for 20 frames; splashes appear.
