Re: Method GetBadgeGenData()

A while back we released version 4 of BadgeGen. We however left the old V3 ruleset so that it can be accessed in different ways. For example when loading Profile stats one can add the get parameter &bgv3. But also regarding LUA callbacks we didn't touch the existing api method GetBadgeGenData(). Instead we added a new one called GetBadgeGenDataV4().

For clarity I will today (in a few minutes) renamed the old one to GetBadgeGenDataV3(). I will also fix all 17 scripts using the old version, so that it calls the function by its new name.

Hi there ... it seems calling PGC.GetBadgeGenDataV4 just causes an exception. I was looking into extending Hugh's leapday script for the other addon badges (I've done all except 366 and DT). I came back to it after a long while, and it just always throws an exception, without any information. I've put print statements into my script and narrowed it down to this call. I was wondering if it was just my script - so I ran the original (https://project-gc.com/Challenges/80820)... also gives an exception in the same way.

I'm assuming it's the change mentioned here that causes it to not work?

Also, if I dump the keys in the PGC table, it doesn't include PGC.GetBadgeGenDataV3? Just these two related to BadgeGen (both of which cause an exception):

PGC.GetBadgeGenDataV4
PGC.GetBadgeGenData

It was actually unrelated to the above change.

We recently added support for imperial units in BadgeGen. It was a required parameter when calling its "get data" function, but not such parameter was provided from the LUA callback.

I have now fixed that. The LUA callback always uses imperial=false. Metric is the base unit for the rules, so imperials are just estimates. If a checker script wants to present imperials it can convert by itself, since it's more of a presentation layer.

Thanks for making us aware.
