Re: Bachelor Degree Challenge

GCA7TAW This is a challenge cache and is at posted coords . Use the checker before logging cache. It normally takes 120 Credit Hours to obtain a Bachelor Degree so by using the following checker we will see if you will receive a diploma. BYOP.

Unknown Cache ? 500= 6 Credit Hours

Regular and Cito Event Cache  100 =6 Credit Hours

I am not sure if this is possible. I think a new script will be required.

what does new script is that by me or you guys working on it is it too long let me know steve

The checker infrastructure is split into two parts. Scripts, and tags. Scripts are generic, ie. "find X caches of Y type." A tag is the association between geocache and Challenge, ie. "GCXXXXX is the script with X = 100 and Y = Multi-cache."

There are currently scripts for doing points, but unfortunately not one versatile enough for some of your requests. In particular, I do not believe that the following two are currently possible:

• You will receive 4 credit hours for every 100 counties you log a cache in No more than 40 credit hours can be earned here.
• Log a 1,000 caches in a state and receive 4 Credit hours, if you have that many in numerous states you may receive up to 40 credit hours for example if you have logged 1,000 caches in 10 different states.

If I have time next weekend, I may write it myself or try to convince someone else to do it.

Also, if the following:

Terrain must be above 2.0 on D/T Grid 3 Credit Hours.

Is in regard to the "average" D/T rating, that is not publishable.

@Hügh- I think the only two that the multi-test checker can't handle properly (right now), are:

- You will receive 4 credit hours for every 100 counties you log a cache in No more than 40 credit hours can be earned here.
- Log a 1,000 caches in a state and receive 4 Credit hours, if you have that many in numerous states you may receive up to 40 credit hours for example if you have logged 1,000 caches in 10 different states.

In my extended mulit-test checker, I have the same-x/different-y script included in there, but it doesn't calculate any points. I think it could be extended further to handle the second one. Likewise, for the first one, if adv_number was modified to give out points (eg. for nrcounties, et al), I think that could handle the first one.

Thanks for the hard work let me know if i need to take something out and i will renumber some others steve

Well, as Hügh said, definitely "DT average above 2" is not allowed, as it would encourage users to skip finding low T caches. But, you could modify it so that you have N number of high T finds (for example).

You might also run into a reviewer that says the challenge is too complicated (some think we're morons :)), but I guess you'll find that out when you submit the challenge.

i made some changes is this possible steve

With these changes it is a lot easier for us now. Thank you.
