i have literally no understood wht this mod does. Looks like you forgot a verb.

Oops! I fixed it.
Thank you for your advice.

nice, can u make a tool for it?

@DS-minetest

Does "tool" mean axes and shovels ?

Yes, a tool is either something like the banhammer or an axe.
Currently it makes shovels useless because you can dig faster using your bare hands. I would like to see this function moved into a new tool that wears out a bit after each use.
Adding a gif into the main post was a good idea, it clearly shows what the mod does - well done :)

i agree Krock

My basic concept of this mod is a simple mod that can be used easily, and has some simple commands.
I didn't think of tools...
But, that sounds a gread idea, so I will create other mod.

This mod looks really good, but when I try extracting aux.lua, it doesn't work.

Oh, sorry.
Would you show me the error messages?

Game doesnt start when i install this mod.
Game freezes on loading screen. ( While configuring the world )

do you use other mods? Which mt version? when i look at the gif, the bug with the hand appearance, i think this mod has been tested in 4.13

Game doesnt start even only Siva mod installed.
I use 0.4.14-dev_MSVC, 160903 on Windows 64bit

Sorry, I noticed that now.
When I download(clone) siva in Windows, siva/aux.lua is not downloaded.
In MacOSX and Linux, this does not happens.
I don't know what happens.

I googled it.
In Windows, "aux" is a reserved word, so "aux" cannot be used for a file name and a directory name.
So "aux.lua" did not unpacked.

I changed filename from "aux" to "util".
Probably, it works also in Windows.

I was just about to post the same finding. https://blog.onetechnical.com/2006/11/1 ... n-windows/

It clones correctly with your "util.lua" change (tested in a Windows 7 virtual machine).

Strange Windows things. Huh.

No aux things? This is dumb.

Now it works well, thank you
