Disable floor collision while dying

(Guide written by Esrael)

This is something that you are most likely to notice in Chemical Plant Zone while fighting the Act 2 boss. When your character dies, he will still detect any floor that is still above him, and if the detection returns a collision, the character will stop, and just drop like a rock, instead of move upwards like he normally does. This is not necessarily a bug, though it can be "fixed". Perform this fix if you don't want your character to detect floor tiles while dying.

Find "loc_1E596" (Xenowhirl) or "Floor_ChkTile" (SVN) <asm>

Floor_ChkTile:

       move.w  d2,d0 
       .... 
       movea.l d1,a1 
       rts

Your character will no longer detect floor tiles above him when dying.
