EIX
EIX (Evil Islands eXtender) is an open source reimplementation of addon.dll and SpellAddon for Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul, with additional fixes and features. It supports game.exe 1.06 from EI starter or GOG, in any language.
For players, it provides:
- Crash fixes and faster zone loading.
- Widescreen support, smoother camera movement, sharper unit shadows, and spells on the unit panel.
- Automatic pausing on low health, an enemy in sight, or an attack in single player.
- An optional encumbrance rebalance and FLAC music support.
- SpellAddon features enabled by the installed mod.
Modders can use Lua callbacks, DLL plugins, and INI settings read by map scripts. Existing mods keep their
config.reg, ai.reg, and spelladdon.ini settings. EIX’s own settings are configured in eix.ini.
Installation requires EIStarter-UM from Universal Mod. Follow the installation instructions to replace the starter’s files and configure EIX.
