Good to be back, finally got over my job stress, light depression, and housing move. Thought I was finished, glad to know that indeed wasn’t the case .. 😝
Picking up where I last left off on EDGE, I’m ready to make the last bigger commits and some things that were promised but only half implemented at the time. And of course, cherry picking some good stuff from the Classic port w/o breaking EDGE.
First full release since 2016? Didn’t realize it’s been that long…! -
Three days ago was EDGE's 20th birthday! <3 What are your fondest memories of EDGE? What do you think about the current development builds of the engine, and do you believe it is heading in the right direction? Do you think there's still room for the port and the unique offerings it brings in 2021?
Finally, if you haven't tried it lately, give it a spin!
SpoilerWhile I was working hard to try and get a release out in time for the celebration, I was of course unable to (day before was my daughter's 8th bday) and I feel like crap about that. Originally there was to be this big ol' thing and a new release with all bugs fixed and stuff but it just didn't end up working out like usual. We are a small team again and just can't always find the right time to all hook up and hammer things out together. So ya...always looking for help... :)

I remember I used to have to go an "internet bar" with a couple of diskettes to download DosDoom which later became EDGE.

I recently started mapping again for a project targeting EDGE and it's been pretty enjoyable for me. I played a lot of EDGE mods back in the day and remember it fondly.
The first mod I made for EDGE was for myself and my cousin, and it was a mod where some of the demon enemies dropped ammo for their own attack. We had several different weapons that all used the same punching animation but shot the different enemies attacks back at them. It was a really awesome feeling killing some of the demon type monsters and gaining some amount of ammo or "power" out of them, throwing imp fireballs at shotgunners & chaingunners, baron of hell attacks at pinkies, etc... It was even more awesome to be able to put that all together just by editing some text files. At the time I loved playing around with the Duke3D .con files, and was blown away that there was something like that for doom.
Anyways, I thought I'd share a memory that this post dislodged.

That’s awesome @compy286! Sorry a bit late to respond, but I’d definitely be interested to see what you/the project/etc produce!

Hey Doomworld - Low key, looking for beta testers for EDGE as we prepare for our first full release (at v2.2.0) in the coming month.
It’s been over 2 years that we’ve been in bug crunching mode via DRDTeam and are confident EDGEs serious issues have been mostly addressed. There are way too many to list here that we’ve since fixed (everything from physics bugs to dehacked parsing) so I’m hoping the port speaks for itself in terms of our progress. We also release Linux devbuilds now, too.
if it’s been awhile since you’ve tried EDGE, or have never played it before, get one of the current [url=https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/3dge/EDGE-x64-2.1.0pre-155-gb7b9af898.7z]development builds[/url] and give it a spin.
Make sure you have an IWAD in the directory. If you wanna play with DOOM and DOOM2 at the same time, make sure both are present, and drag and drop Doom.WAD over EDGE. Or go all out and drag both Doom and Sigil together over the EXE for the full 6 episode experience - it’ll resolve Doom2.wad automatically. 😊
You can report bugs or make suggestions either at our forums (http://tdgmods.net/smf) or at our Github (http://GitHub.com/3dfxdev/EDGE). Or you can always reach out via Discord, which ZDoom kindly hosts our channel via their server. Or just shoot me a message here on Doomworld. As we get closer to release we will eventually open up a thread here, too.
Thanks to anyone interested and I hope everyone else finds some fun to be had with EDGE!
Kindly,-Corbachu

Dear Doomworld and EDGE-bois,
My apologies about the lack of EDGE devbuilds lately - my time has been eaten up by my job, full-time single parenting, WFH, specifically I’m doing a universal Win8.1 and Win10 IPU (from Win7 and Win8.0) for the hospital I work for, on about 3K endpoints with 1.5K different softwares and preTPM fuckery, Windows patching and ugghhhh ...during the COVID pandemic...talk about stress and OT out the ass. Plus raising my daughter by myself with online school at the same time... 🤪
But regardless, it’s a passion project that led to my rapid promotion and current team...it’s not easy but at the same time, it’s an incredible passion project since WindowsNT first came into my life in enterprise... anyways, just wanted to explain that to everyone. EDGE is still placent in my heart and my passion is still there even if it seems I am quiet and not making a lot of releases.Tl:dr : Be safe, wear a god-damn mask, be smart and get vaccinated when it is available! Positive vibes and love to my DW and EDGE families...xoxoxo ♥️❤️🙏😷😘
