Collectibles in the air are now taken as the original's air move meets them, not within a radius. On the ground the collectible now comes before any slide along it.

The air (0x8005ee78, worklog 245's open item):

• The air move's test (0x80066014) meets the objects of the nearby list. When it answers anything but clear and +0xf4 is set, 0x8005ed2c runs.
• For an object of class 11 (or template 711, not 1177) that clears +0xf4 and +0xf8 and runs its +0x58 (level 11's standing jump keeping its bones, 0x800c4bc4). It answers 1, and the move is then had as if clear.
• The port's air_move meets the collectibles after the other objects (touchable, as the walk's probes do). Met, one is touched and the answer becomes Clear, across and down alike.
• Game::touch no longer has a radius test at all.

The ground's order.

• 0x80064a34 only answers held; the walk handler (0x8005e1f4) looks at +0xf4's class first. Class 11 is the touch, with no step. Only otherwise does it slide or bump (0x80065120 at 0x8005e3c4).
• The port had slid along a collectible met at a slant before looking, so the touch was lost and the player slid round it. ground_move now looks at the first probe's hold first.

The play tests' collecting.

• Where no walk led to a pickup, the harness puts the player on it. Its probes then start inside its box, as on the original.
• It now puts him 600 off on his own floor, the first of eight ways from the one he came, and he walks at it from there.
• Worklog 245's walk back had run off a ledge in level 15 and could not turn away in level 18.

Checked:

• every test file, and the hle suite;
• levels 15, 17, 18 and the whole game won by play.
