Re: Checker request - GC97DQM 600 & 60 * 6 cache types

[Resolved] Checker request - GC97DQM 600 & 60 * 6 cache types
March 13, 2021 07:06AM
Hi there -
I'd like a checker similar to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC78CVV/27425

Instead of 500 caches with at least 50 each of 5 types, I'd like 600 caches with 60 each of 6 types.

Thanks for doing all this work

Here is the checker:

Please verify that it works and reply here if it is OK.

Hi there -
I think it needs to be updated to include lab caches - they are not being displayed, and I didn't think about it when I initially submitted it. Reviewer bounced it back for that. Sorry about that.
thanks for the work

I am sorry. I cannot get the script you asked to copy to include Lab Caches or Community Celebration (or Lost & Found) caches. Perhaps someone else can help you.

Hi there - thanks for the prompt reply.

I discovered that this checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5JCHH/6436 was updated earlier this year to count lab caches (I had holes in my 26 a day grid where I found Adventure Labs previously) and realized it had been fixed recently.

With the current version- would it be possible to delete the 9 cache types following webcam - they really can't contribute 60 caches to satisfy this challenge.
Also, with the current checker, if I run "Team Gandalf", he passes the checker, but if I look at the results, he has only found 60 or more in only 5 of the cache categories. (I see you added the lab cache category to the update)
Could you figure out why he passes? (results below, passing cache types asterisked.)

[Team Gandalf](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Team%20Gandalf) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC97DQM/59278 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

Total finds (or 1000 if more than that): 1000
*****Traditional Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 1000
*****Unknown Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 980
*****Multi-cache (or 1000 if more than that): 151
Event Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 54
*****Earthcache (or 1000 if more than that): 63
Letterbox Hybrid (or 1000 if more than that): 19
Cache In Trash Out Event (or 1000 if more than that): 4
*****Virtual Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 142
Wherigo Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 9
Webcam Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 4
Lost and Found Event Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 2
Locationless (Reverse) Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 0
Mega-Event Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 2
GPS Adventures Exhibit (or 1000 if more than that): 0
Project APE Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 0
Groundspeak Block Party (or 1000 if more than that): 0
Giga-Event Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 1
Groundspeak HQ (or 1000 if more than that): 0
Community Celebration Event (or 1000 if more than that): 0
Lab Cache (or 1000 if more than that): 0

If you can't solve the lab cache problem, who do you think can?
Thanks for all the work

This checker can count lab caches:
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC97DQM/59323
It doesnt, however, display a count on each type.

HI there -
Looks like that solved the problem. I like the more compact printout.
Thanks for your work
