Re: Die Besten im Westen (GC9CDCE)

Hi - I would like to ask you to kindly provide me with a geochecker for the a/m challenge:

The challenge would be fulfilled if somebody has found/logged 80% of the top 50 caches having more than 140 favorite points and are located 10 km around the following cities each: Isselburg + Bocholt + Raesfeld + Borken + Reken + Südlohn + Vreden + Ahaus (all Nordrhine Westfalia).

BR Husmester

Sorry, 10km radius is not allowed under guideline 10:

Quote
Not acceptable
Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). Examples: user-defined mapping polygons, latitude/longitude, radius, etc.

Hi - okay, than please amend the checker as follows:
The challenge should be fulfilled if somebody has found/logged 80% of the top 50 caches having more than 140 favorite points and are located in the following cities each: Isselburg + Bocholt + Raesfeld + Borken + Reken + Südlohn + Vreden + Ahaus (all Nordrhine Westfalia).

Hi - thank you for your clarification.
The challenge should be fulfilled if somebody has found/logged 80% of the top 50 caches having more than 140 favorite points located in "Borken (Kr)".

BR Husmester

Do you have a corrct GCcode for the challenge because GC9CDCE - Die Besten im Westen (Mini Multi) is already used

Yes, the GCcode of the new Challenge is GC9E50X

Here is the link https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9E50X/63411

The checker does not count "Disabled" and "Archived" caches. Also the checker is based on the top 50 and ignores the minimum poits rule

Please test and reply

Thank you very much, the checker works well.
Just two minor favors:
1. could you please amend the checker that he count/consider also „disabled" caches.
2. could you please display besides the GC number also the cache name „Die Besten im Westen“ in the Header of the Geochecker

Greetings from Husmester

1. The checker adjusted to count disabled caches
2. Project-GC doesn't have access to unpublished caches hence the "?" you see there now. As soon as your challenge cache is published (or within a reasonable time thereafter), your cache name (and country where it resides) will be shown there

Hi vogelbird - I am sorry, but the reviewer didn't agree on my challenge criteria.

Therefore, I need to ask you to amend the checker as follows:

The challenge should be fulfilled if somebody has found/logged 40 caches having more than 140 favorite points located in "Borken (Kr)"; „disabled" caches shall be counted.

BR from Husmester

Here is the new checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9E50X/63650

Please test and reply

The old checker is removed

Thx. the checker works well and the Cache was activated by the reviewer.
Best regards from Husmester
