A few notes from v5

If you like the ObHack-styled prefabs like cages, light sources, trees and the like, you're going to love this thing.

Map design has been improved greatly, the BIG ASS ROOMS era is over; the most notable thing from v5 is that the organic caves from 3.57 are totally back. AndrewJ brought back the ObHack-ish tech rooms too, which is great. Water-textured lakes won't inflict you damage anymore (yay) and the room lightning compared to 4.28 is superb

The only downside so far: filesize. A normal limit-removing WAD I often generate was like 10-12MB big in 4.28. In v5, the file is like 27MB.

Also, you're going to see these thingies all over the maps now; platforms with switches. They're kinda cool
