Re: Need an existing checker updated

I am making a new challenge based on the qualifications of an existing challenge. Here is the existing checker:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8D4W7/44821

I would like to update the checker to include all events. There have been a number of new events created since this checker was originally created.

The GC code for my new challenge cache is this: GCA0AQ5

Requestor wants to include more event types.
I can’t see if 8 types are still the goal or if that should be increased.

All the event types are lumped together because if they are split Tung8 would not pass the challenge

Correct in that I want to keep the 8 types and I want to lump the events together. For the events, this is what is grouped now.

"GPS Adventures Exhibit",
"Lost and Found Event Cache",
"Cache In Trash Out Event",
"Mega-Event Cache",
"Giga-Event Cache",
"Event Cache"

I would like to update this to include the new event types:
"Geocaching HQ Block Party"
"Geocaching HQ Celebration"
"Community Celebration Event" (though this already is classified as a "lost and found event" by the checker)


Recently, the 20th Celebration Event is one that doesn't get caught by the checker. Not sure what event type that is.

I altered the multitest checker script https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA0AQ5/71756

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you... life got in the way.

The change in programming makes it hard to tell what is included and what is not. It seems to be working fine, but I don't know how to test it.

The change does make it harder for the cacher to know what they are missing. Can the summary table to put to this program (similar to the first checker)? Or can the missing months be included in the listings as shown below -- maybe with 'missing' added in red?

"Find 12 different months of Virtual Caches"
01 - 2018-01-21 GC5389 - It's A Way Of Life (Virtual Cache)
02 -
03 -
04 - 2019-04-02 GC7B6QQ - Civic Center Cnapshot (Virtual Cache)
05 - 2018-05-13 GCC044 - Fresno Flats (Virtual Cache)
06 - 2014-06-29 GCHNKG - Where's the ER? (Virtual Cache)
07 - 2005-07-18 GCBA31 - Human Powered Flight (Virtual Cache)
08 - 2005-08-01 GCAC3C - Bakersfield Station (Virtual Cache)
09 -
10 - 2005-10-08 GCGJ35 - Kit Carson Was Here (Virtual Cache)
11 - 2005-11-26 GCFC24 - Sky Park (Virtual Cache)
12 -
Qualifying 8 / 12, FAILED


With both the summary table and/or the month addition, the gaps would be easier to identify. This will help in their cache planning.

Sorry but it is not possible the change the output of this multitest script

Ok. Then could I go back to the original request and have the older script updated with the additional events?

I'm guessing that since a month has passed since my last post that the older script will not be updated.

Unfortunately the original script cannot be changed to accommodate this, unless you contact the scriptwriter jpavlik, by pressing the envelope next to his name.

I reached out to jpavlik but I am getting no response

I got a response this morning that he adjusted the script

Wonderful! Thank you all for the help!
