Basically an extension of the editor inconsistencies thread, but focused on the particularly odd behavior of Halph and Slayer entrances.

All tests done in 5.1.1.

Halph and Slayer entrances can be placed on the same tiles as the following objects:
-Any tile that all ground entities can stand on
-Broken and secret walls
-All doors, open and closed
-Potions/horns
-Scrolls
-Fuses
-Briar
-Tokens
-Mirrors (not kegs!)
-Lightposts
-Seeding beacons
-All tarstuff
-Fluff
-Special case: Young Halph entrances cannot be placed on shallow water. All other entrance types can.

However, it seems all walls and objects can be placed on top of a Halph or Slayer entrance. This doesn't actually matter for anything the player can't enter on, but some of these cases are relevant for situations that could come up.

For instance, if you have a Young Halph entrance on shallow water, he shouldn't be able to enter on it, but could if you create ice or a stepping stone there. Also, Beethro can enter on kegs, but currently there's no way to put a keg on a Halph/Slayer entrance without scripting.

I basically just did a data dump in the first post. What specifically was changed that I should check for?

The details of the PR changes that relate to this thread:

Halph/Slayer as monsters can no longer be placed on Mirrors, Briar, and Lightposts

Young Halph entrance can now be place on Shallow Water
Halph/Slayer entrances can now be placed on kegs
Halph/Slater entrances can no longer be placed on T-Layer obstacles. (Stuff like Tar, Orbs, 'Obstacle' and the other impassable things that share an editor tab with them)

They can still be placed on briar (all types). Cannot be placed on tarstuff, fluff, orbs, obstacles, relay stations, lightposts, seeding beacons, bombs, tunnels, walls, water, pits, or stairs.
