Yeah shaders suck. They turn everything yellow. I tried it yesterday. What's the point of them?

No, they don't. You just don't have the proper hardware.

Heck yeah I dont! My PCs like 13 years old! It's a miracle Minetest works.

Could you give my win32 builds a try? (link in signature)

If everything is red, just disable shaders in the settings tab and try again. (maybe try to close minetest and re-open)

For android, there's a complete forum topic. YOu'll have better chances for a good answer there.

will try your build when i get home from work.
and i checked that Android topic before i started this one, its very programmer oriented, and unfortunately i don't understand most of it.

My views keep fading in and out in the android version. How can I fix that?

on a pc I would play with the viewing distance (+ and - keys) saddly I don't have a clue what is used for that in the android version. You may of course try and edit the config file.

[SAMIAMNOT]

Disable full viewing range.

[comfort80]

Disable full viewing range.

How do you do that on android?

[SAMIAMNOT]

Not sure. But if you go to the menu where you can exit the game, there may be stuff that looks like "enableflymode=true" or "fancytrees=1". If there's anything there that looks like it means enabling full viewing range try to put the value in the config file but. Like
"fullviewingrange=false"
Hope that helps. This is all if the exit menu is the same on android as it is on PC.

There isn't anything about the viewing range. The opening screen has three additional options fly mode, enable damage, and creative mode

If you don't have the proper graphics card to use shaders, everything is red and whacked. Just turn them off in the settings.
If you can run shaders, you get moving water, wavy leaves, and some other cool stuff.

If the game is low on fps, please disable ''Fancy Trees'' and ''3D clouds'' for a better performance.

Also try, if you can, this: ''Minetest in game Tutorial''

Yes and plus I personally hate the fanncy trees.
Look up examples of the config file ad find out if you can find a setting dealing with viewing range.

what is a fancy tree compared to a normal one.
i started a game and every damn tree had loads of apples.
i have ADHD and i'm on day two of no coffee (stomach issues) and need caffeine desperately.
my ADHD demanded i get each of those red shiny apples. i had to put the game down.

Fancy trees basically means transparent (and wierd looking) leaves blocks. (I think.)

Is there a list of android swipe commands?
My daughter is trying to play on a Zoostorm 7" tablet. It seems to work a bit but cant select the menu. In going into configuration the text is all blocky and unreadable so cant work it out from there...
