Welcome to the EDGE-Classic wiki! Here you can find information on running the game, as well as documents on the COAL, DDF, and RTS systems that EDGE-Classic uses to leverage its advanced features.
On the first run of EDGE_classic a series of folders will be created (for storing savegames, screenshots, cache etc). They will be created in the users home directory, and the location of this directory is system-dependant. If you open the in-game console and type the command OPENHOME, it will open a system file explorer in this directory.
If you would prefer EDGE-Classic to instead store all the information in the same place as the edge-classic.exe, then you can run it with the commandline "-portable".
By default, EDGE-Classic will look in it's own folder to see if there are any iwads present.
Assuming that you don't have a graphical launcher (such as Doom P.A.L, by our very own Lobo), the most basic invocation of EDGE-Classic from the command line is:
edge-classic.exe -iwad path/to/game/iwad
Where the iwad file is DOOM.WAD, DOOM2.WAD, or any other IWAD supported by EDGE-Classic.
If you want to run mods or additional maps,
specify those with the -file parameter, like so:
edge-classic.exe -iwad /path/to/game/iwad -file /path/to/pwad
