Evil Islands eXtender

Engine fixes and tweaks for Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul.

eix implements most of the features provided by EI addon.dll, as well as SpellAddon, and adds fixes and features. Scripts can be written in the game’s own language (script reference) or in Lua (Lua reference).

Mods and plugins work the same way: same config.reg, ai.reg and spelladdon.ini.
Game: game.exe RU 1.06 (EI starter’s and GOG’s Russian builds). Other builds not supported yet.

Install

Install EIStarter-UM from Universal Mod. Just the starter, not the mod.
Download eix’s zip from releases.
Replace the starter’s dinput.dll (beside game.exe) and addon.dll (in the starter’s folder) with eix’s. Keep the starter’s two files to switch back.
Put spelladdon.ini in the game folder. A mod’s own spelladdon.ini, in its folder, takes precedence.
Put eix.ini in the mod’s folder (Mods\<mod>): eix’s own settings, such as pausing on a party member’s low health.

To uninstall, put the starter’s dinput.dll and addon.dll back.
