Description

Apart from the Resources/Modules directory that comes with ShiVa, there is another Modules directory in Appdata/Local/ShiVa, (Windows), ~/Library/Application Support/ShiVa, and ~/.ShiVa (Linux) where your custom modules are stored and the default modules are copied to on first start. You should only work from this directory as Resources/Modules is most likely write protected.
