[Resolved] GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
September 15, 2023 02:27AM
Hello all,

I need a checker for the above challenge cache. The requirements are as follows:

Find caches of at least 5 different Cache Types that each have a Terrain Rating of 5.0 and the Boat Required attribute.

Thank you in advance,

Kevin

Hello Cool Cow Cachers,

You can use:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAE6VC/81026

Please test it, and let me know if it is as requested or if it requires further modification.

Thanks,
Hügh

This is 2/3 of the way there. Cache Types and Boat Required attribute are working but all caches must be Terrain 5.0.

...oops; try it again, now...
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge

Perfect, thank you. There will be four more challenges in this series with similar but fewer cache type requirements. May I include them here or are separate requests better?
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
September 15, 2023 03:30AM
Either works, but I have a watch on this thread so I'd say post them here.

OK, here they are:

GCAE6VA You sank my Battleship! - A Battleship Challenge
Find caches of at least 4 different Cache Types that each have a Terrain Rating of 5.0 and the Boat Required attribute.

GCAE6V8 You sank my Cruiser! - A Battleship Challenge
Find caches of at least 3 different Cache Types that each have a Terrain Rating of 5.0 and the Boat Required attribute.

GCAE6V3 You sank my Destroyer! - A Battleship Challenge
Find caches of at least 2 different Cache Types that each have a Terrain Rating of 5.0 and the Boat Required attribute.

The last one has one extra requirement:

GCAE6V5 You sank my Submarine! - A Battleship Challenge
Find caches of at least 3 different Cache Types that each have a Terrain Rating of 5.0 and the Boat Required or the Scuba Gear Required attribute.

I'd like to modify the final one to fit the intent:

GCAE6V5 You sank my Submarine! - A Battleship Challenge
Find caches of at least 3 different Cache Types that each have a Terrain Rating of 5.0 and the Boat Required or the Scuba Gear Required attribute. At least one cache must have the Scuba Gear Required attribute.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge

Updated, it displays the one cache separately.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge

I need to modify these, please. The only change is to add a distinct total number of caches in addition to the cache types:

GCAE6V3 You sank my Destroyer! - A Battleship Challenge
Find 5 caches with 2 different Cache Types
each with a Terrain Rating of 5
each with the Boat Required attribute

GCAE6V8 You sank my Cruiser! - A Battleship Challenge
Find 10 caches with 3 different Cache Types
each with a Terrain Rating of 5
each with the Boat Required attribute

GCAE6VA You sank my Battleship! - A Battleship Challenge
Find 20 caches with 4 different Cache Types
each with a Terrain Rating of 5
each with the Boat Required attribute

GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
Find 40 caches with 5 different Cache Types
each with a Terrain Rating of 5
each with the Boat Required attribute

The final one is a rework of the original:

GCAE6V5 You sank my Submarine! - A Battleship Challenge
Find 3 caches
each with a Terrain Rating of 5
each with the Stealth Required attribute
each with either the Boat Required or the Scuba Gear Required attribute
at least one of the caches must have the Scuba Gear Required attribute

Hopefully, the reviewers will not require any additional changes.

Thank you.

Sure, I will make these changes later today.

Hello Hügh. Any updates on these?
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 19, 2024 04:11AM
My apologies. I have been busy with work this week. I see vogelbird has helped you in the main thread, editing the tags. I will update the comments.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 19, 2024 04:21AM
I totally understand. The checkers were all fine at first, but then the reviewers got involved. Vogelbird said that they had done something, but when I ran the checkers, I didn't see the needed changes. The submarine challenge has been changed, but it is not quite right.

GCAE6V5 You sank my Submarine! - A Battleship Challenge
Find 3 caches
each with a Terrain Rating of 5
each with the Boat Required attribute
each with either the Stealth Required or the Scuba Gear Required attribute
at least one of the caches must have the Scuba Gear Required attribute
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge

Looks like there were issues with vogelbird's edits getting applied to the checkers I set up for you. I manually applied them; do they work now?

I will take a look at the submarine challenge in the meantime.

The first four look great.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 19, 2024 04:28AM
To me, https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAE6V5/88521 looks like it matches your description. Is there a cache you're expecting/not expecting to see in the output?
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 19, 2024 04:48AM
I thought there was a problem here, but the outcome is what is expected. We'll roll with it for now and see what the reviewer thinks.

I have an alternative idea in mind for this one. Would it be possible to make a checker for a cumulative depth below sea level similar to an elevation challenge? Let's just say -10,935 meters for example.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 19, 2024 04:49AM
Yep, that should be doable.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 19, 2024 03:19PM
Could you make a new one that I could use you test the qualifications of local cachers?

GCAE6V5 You sank my Submarine! - A Battleship Challenge
Find 3 caches
each with a Terrain Rating of 5
each with the Stealth Required attribute
each with the Boat Required attribute

Total finds must include caches with a cumulative depth of -2,500 meters below sea level.

I'd like the output to show the total depth earned as well as the qualification.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 20, 2024 07:16AM
Sure, here's a checker for testing.

https://project-gc.com/Challenges//88554

If you like it, we can swap it in on GCAE6V5. Otherwise, I'll remove it.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
May 20, 2024 04:55PM
I like this concept much better.

Please reduce the depth requirement to -1,000 meters and replace the previous version.

Thank you very much. Now we'll see what the reviewers say.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge

Hugh,

Would you please remove all requirements except for the depth requirement?

"Find any number of caches with a cumulative depth of 1,000 meters below sea level."
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
June 12, 2024 01:22AM
Sure, I've made the edit.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
June 16, 2024 06:43AM
HQ and the reviewers are finally happy with this challenge. There is just one more request from the reviewers. Please update the Tag to read the final version requirements, "Find caches below sea level, whose cumulative depth sums to -1,000m." The reviewers think that it is using the older criteria still.

Thank you for your help and patience with the multiple revisions.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge
June 16, 2024 06:46AM
My apologies, should've done that the first time. It is amended.
Re: GCAE6VC You sank my Carrier! - A Battleship Challenge

Those are the results I was looking for.

Thank you for your help!
