Re: Europa Cacher GC7J6TH

Hallo,
first: thanks for doing this here ..:-)

I need a checker for a new challenge cache:

Europe Cacher Challenge

As European country for this challenge European countries, for which a souvenir at Groundspeak is available.
To log this cache, ALL of the following six conditions must be met (or caches must have been logged):

1. At least one cache in 12 different European countries
And
2. At least eight different types of caches in eight different European countries
And
3. At least six events visited in six different European countries
And
4. At least nine Earth Caches in nine different European countries
And
5. At least seven virtual caches in seven different European countries
And
6. At least three webcam cache in three different European countries

Thanks
Kind regards

I have to mark this challenge as a new script required. Only one check cannot be preformed by the Multi checker (At least eight different types of caches in eight different European countries ) hense a new special script requirement.

Here is an unfinished checker for preliminary testing https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7J6TH/32696

This checker shows that chessnut13 does not qualify. I have no idea why. I am going to add a better output later if this is going to work.

"European countries, for which a souvenir at Groundspeak is available. "

Do we have a list of them?

May be Ireland is the problem, there are only states ?

Croatia
Cech Republic

Luxembourg
Malta
Netherlands
Norway

Irland and Germany have onl regional souveniers and shound not be allowed in this challange
May be I have to change my condiotions that the checker shows that chessnut13 is qualified, no problem.

Germany has also a coutry souvenir see list at Project-GC https://project-gc.com/Tools/SouvenirList

ok, then let's add Germany to the list

May be we count in my conditions +1, if it is possible and the checker gives a ok for chessnut13

Could you give me a list how do you fullfill this requirement

"6. At least three webcam cache in three different European countries"

What are the nine webcams you have found?

I must ask this because it seems that you fullfill only the first requirement.

"1. At least one cache in 12 different European countries"

You are right, Ireland was my problem, so we cancel Nr. 6 with the webcams, because I had only 2 webcams logged.
My secound mistake was that Scottlan has no own County Souvenir...
So here ...
The new conditions (without Ireland and Scottland and inclusive Germany):

1. At least one cache in 12 different European countries
And
2. At least seven different types of caches in seven different European countries

( I saw a checker of gcprojekt with 12 differtent in 12 different countries, and for me the checker gives 8 in 8 countrys, may be Irland ...so seven must work ..sorry I dont find this checker again ...so that I can test this again)

And
3. At least six events visited in six different European countries

For Example my events I attened: GC75NTJ Italy, GC77W8M Great Britain, GC775CV Netherlands, GC61P76 Czech Republik, GC725M5 Croatia, GC75XJM Germany

And
4. At least seven Earth Caches in seven different European countries

My loggs were in: Italy, GB, Croatia, Czech Republik, Netherlands, Belgium, GER

And
5. At least five virtual caches in seven five European countries
My five Virtuell Caches Logs: Netherlands, France, GB, Germany, Italy

My be it works now, only Nr. 2 I cannot check without I konw the checker I had seen once time in your fourum.

If it is nessesary I would change the conditions again, please give me a hint whats to do.

Many thanks
And very kind regards

Dublin, didnt work so 7 different in 7 europaen countrys with souvenir seems to work.

According to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7GY7A/31203 you have found "At least one different type of cache in eight different countries" (1 x 8 caches), not "At least eight different types of caches in eight different countries" which is total 8 x 8 = 64 caches.

I think that you will now qualify with these changes, but the script is not ready yet because the logic is different and I have to adjust it more.

The script seems to be ready for testing now

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7J6TH/32696

Please, test it and tell us whether it is suitable for you.

I looks wonderful !! :-)
Graet work, thanks a lot !!

I tested the script with ca. 30 cacher around my home coords with more than 2000 - 10 000 finds, and I found no mistake.

May be I have the follow suggestions for improvement, if it is possible:

1.
Condition Nr. 5:
Output of the Skript: "5. At five seven virtual caches in five different European countries" Qualifying 5 / 5, PASSED
should be: At least five virtual caches in five different ....

2.
May be it is possible to add Russia in the list of countries, because Russia have a part of it in Europa like Turkey, and a souvenir of groundspeak, too. So it would be 32 countries in total and so I hope to have less discussions with the cachers :-)

3.
The output of the skript is very interesting !
Does it be possible to show "Ausgabe des Skripts" in "Beispiel Log"? may be with a link over the CG Code to get to the groundspeak-website of each Cache ?

Sorry for my very bad English :-), I hope you can understand me ...

Thanks a lot, too

I fixed the title and added Russia.

The output from the checker is so long that it is not practical to add into the example log. In the worst case it will be cut from the middle because it is too long.

Maybe the list of caches for the first test "1. At least one cache in 12 different European countries" could be used for the example log. It contains all visited countries which is more interesting information that other parts.

OK, thanks ..

You are right, its to mutch for a log, The log example is ok so, we leave him as he is now, I will test the checker with some other chachers, the listing is ready, if the publish is done I will meassage it here again ...

Thank you
Chessnut13

I found an error in the configuration. It was trying to find 10 different caches instead of 7 in test 2.
It should work as before (or better) but if you see any changes, please contact.
