I dont give a hoot about shadows - I actually find them to be an annoyance (and turn them off whenever possible).
In-Game resource loading would be an instant hit, but it would probably be tough to do (I bet all the data would have to be re-laoded over again). You'd best just make up some .bat files or something (that's what I do).

I wish some of the entity-objects were pushable. I think I toutta be able to move a barrel around - or push a zombieman outta the way so I can get my medikit.
Wall decals would be nice - but remember they have to be customizable, not just specificially for "...rockets/plasma/bfg/punch/chainsaw..." - this is the beauty of edge (why not sonic/laser/fragments/nails/pizza... well maybe not the last one).
I have ALREADY made breakable objects. Simply make things like the bollard lamps and bronze torches have characterististics like the monsters (spawnhealth, apprpriate thing flags, death states, etc, just dont give a speed variable or sighting/seeking sounds). I've made everything from the small tech lamp to the black candle destructable objects (and they break alot like the objects in ROTT did - brief orange flash and they turn to rubble).

Tobester: It works fine on my system - but then again I have a t-bird 900mhz and 64mb agp (it actually runs *faster* in GL mode instead of software) - and my AGP is onboard (so your ATI rage pro is probably faster than mine regardless of the memory it has).
"...EDGE is pretty much done. I think everyone is tired/bored with it. We were down to one programmer who busted his ass just to get EDGE working well with the full QDOOM release, but neither of use have touched EDGE in a month or more..."
Well that sucks - I might leave the doom community alltogether if nobody picks up the slack for a project designed to "give the modder full reign in the editing dimension". Because you and I both know there aint a damn project out there that has ddf-like features, or anything that allows you to create totally "new" things in it (new things as in - they dont have to replace existing ones). Hell, I would adopt the edge project but I CANNOT programme. Y'see, ive been with edge ever since it was "dosdoom" and have been waiting for it to acheive quake-like status - I would be disappointed if edge disappeared out of existance with a "poof" instead of a "bang".

Kat:
Attacktypes are *******ly a thing ive been waiting for - lightning, railguns, lasers, and particle effects have been on the top of my list for awhile but nobody listens
(A laser could be made as a sorta alternative projectile attack - leaves puffs behind, has impact gfx, has radius and height, etc. but it reaches the target instantly leaving behind a "trail of pearls" puff objects.)
Well plus alot of other neat attacktypes like magical transformations (morph, shrink, freeze, etc). and other quad-damage like abilities which modify already present variables.
Another thing Ive been waiting for is additivity - a fix for translucent explosions and muzzleflashes (additive is "true" translucency for bright effects). Currently Q3 and UT have additivity (explosions and projectiles).
