For some reason, MIDI-based music isn't working in 3DGE devbuild, even with OPL. Also, OpenGL 3 mode seems to not work properly (completely black sprites.)
I have no idea what to do about the music part.

That's strange, I recently made some changes to the Win32 mixer code (DWORD_PTR from regular DWORD to support x64), but it shouldn't affect OPL. Switch to OPL, and restart EDGE - it should work just fine. If not, attach your Debug.txt!

I think it is a problem with the Win32 MIDI system. OPL seems to be working fine, but System doesn't.
I think you should try and attempt to change the System MIDI code, so that it actually works with newer Windows OSs, since most of the people aren't using XP and there are people who would prefer using MSGS or Roland SC-VA. Meanwhile, I will check out TiMidity.
Edit: It does look like TiMidity doesn't support SF2 soundfonts in 3DGE.

It doesn't indeed - EDGE uses a modified subset of one of the first iterations of Timidity, and thus doesnt yet have soundfont support. Though I need to check in a new branch, I'm attempting to weave it through our Timidity code.

I see, it might not be setting SDL modes properly. Also, maybe its trying to force a window at a resolution not supported? Try editing your config file and see if setting a custom resolution and 24 bit color will help.

Still no luck, tried setting it to 640x480 first, then 600x400 and lastly 800x600 with still no avail.

What will Wolf3D, ROTT support bring which features to it? I'm just wishing for the ability to finally make bridge things that can move actors horizontally, and the score system.

Does your system support AVX? That might have been my fault -- if it doesn't then that's the problem, as something must have
been compiled with it. Just in case though, try the new recent devbuilds:
Try both X86 and X64 (and if you overwrite them in the same folder, make sure both the EXE and SDL2.dll is overwritten. =)

We are still working out the schematics. So far, the biggest features that will be available to both is the current scripting languages (DDF, RTS, and COAL); as far as the base
game(s) go, we are hammering out the specifics. At least for both, the maps will be converted to BSP format, so scripting is definitely a big plus for anyone that would want
to use something more robust than what WinROTT can offer. ECWolf has us beat on the Wolf3D front -- but like EDGE modders have always done, you can nearly match what
Decorate/ACS can do using DDF/RTS/COAL.
But I am definitely most excited about Rise of the Triad. That's our summer project =-)

Tried the x64 version on my new system, seems to work like a charm. Considerably more so than with my old laptop. But, what's up with the whole opening animation?
I see the screen jittering effect for melee attacks is still present. It's really distraction and makes me avoid using any melee based weapons when playing. Please, get rid of it for future releases.
And I thought I heard something about the bouncing code being restored. Still looks the same to me.
Other than that, good work.

Hmmm... I'm having major issues with sound; both with the x64 and the x86 version. When it starts, the intro video has horribly distorted sound and then Doom itself has no sound at all.

New builds (x86 and x64) are being re-built as I type. Both have the screen shaking effect, but the melee screen shaking effect, as a temporary solution, it needs to be enabled as (r_meleeshake). It defaults to 0 for now. I have written code to DDF-itize them (the way they should be), but I have not had time to test it properly. So for now, that is taken care of and you shouldn't ever have to re-enable it again or worry about it messing with things until we are ready to put it in DDF. =-)

AFAIK the bouncing code has been restored and works as intended again. I tried it out with Duke and another mod, and it seems to me that bouncing works again. Try these new builds first. Specifically, I have restored the old PointToAngle code so items should now bounce properly again as it does stricter (but slightly slower) checking. If it doesn't work exactly as it used to, I need to figure out what else changed, as now 100% of the bounce behavior code, math code, and PointToAngle code has _all_ been restored now. If it still isn't working, something else might be corrupting the values. I'll probably just litter all the bouncing code with Printf's and try to determine from there what could be happening.

Sounds about right -- I didn't realize the builds on DRDTeam were a month old. A lot of work has gone into both versions for sound so there shouldn't be issues with either the intro video or the game modules themselves.
Now, we ARE working towards completely replacing SDL_Sound and EDGE's custom implementation of sound decoding for actual library-handled decoding (OpenAL-soft), which will bring cool stuff to the table like echos and reverb, etc. But the biggest single improvement there is that EDGE doesn't have to do any extra work anymore to decode sound by-hand (which should have been handled by a library anyway). Should be interesting once it is completed, but, it won't be available for awhile.
For now Enjay, pretty please download the new builds posted today (7.14.2018) and let me know if the sound/video issues have been resolved. ^_^
Just downloaded and tried both and, nope, they both still have the very distorted sound in the video and no sound in the game. I installed both to a clean folder with nothing there other than doom2.wad.
