I personally are quite fond of EDGE for its editablility. (I would like z doom just as much if the newer versions would stop crashing my comp ;_; ). But as for what edge can do (atleast in version 1.27, which i'm most familiar with).
-To Load a custom level is the same way that's done with any other port. Just make a shortcut of the original EDGE.exe and right click
-> properties -> goto the "target" section -> add "-file _______.wad" (_______ being the name of your wad). I dont know why you would wanna load from the console,it tends to screw up somtimes.
-The only editor you need for maps is a TXT editor (i.e. notepad) and a map editor that allows custom sector/linedef/and thing types (with the number id). You dont realy even need a config for edge to modify levels. Just open up the DDFLINE and DDFSECT lumps in the EDGE.wad and real their lables. It's pretty much self explanatory.
-Yes, EDGE has 3d floors, probably better than ANY 3d floors i've seen. It alows 3d platforms like Quake. You can even make a "cage" enitrely from 3d floors and make it move up and down (check out Quake Doom). I think edge 1.28 has slopes, though I'm not quite sure of that yet. I believe Edge has "sliding" doors too, though I've never personally seen it ever used nor have i used them before. I dont think they are solid polyobjects just as those in Hexen and Zdoom, rather just linedefs that split from a certain location. (Like like those in Rise of the Triad (doom like game back when doom came out), but those weren't even real doors just animated walls)
-Edge supports up to 32 weapons of your choice (including the original 9 from Doom and doom2, but you can replace those). Editing weapons is pretty easy for the more basical weapons. You can just open up DDFWEAP and look at the original stuff there, it's self explanatory. I recommend IMMORAL CONDUCT for reference with really GOOD weapons, though. Those are really nice and has thing such has remote bombs to flak friendly turrets and spiderbot that you can remotely (kind) control.
