Re: I'm New to Requesting Checkers - Have Questions

Good evening,

When I have used checkers for finding challenges in the past, I get a list of qualifying caches. On the two I just got made for my hides, such a list is not included. Do I have to request this feature in my post? Is it possible to add it to the checkers that have been made?

I'm also interested in learning how to write my own or support the community. I have some experience with C and HTML and have a general grasp of logic, etc. How do I learn more? How do I get access?

Thanks!

Is there a tool for recommending a difficulty level?

There is no tool for this because the difficulty level changes to much depending on the area the challenge cache is placed

You can write to support. The icon you can find on every regular webpage in the top right hand corner

The list of qualifying caches would depend on the script and/or tag (tag being the configuration). And therefore it would have some dependence on the person/s tagging scripts for your requests. If you submitted requests (rather than cloning checkers yourself), you might be able to get the checker updated by contacting the tagger, depending on whether the script allows it.

Note that there's a character limit for the output, so if the challenge requires a large number of finds the tagger might have disabled the display of qualifying caches so that it doesn't get cut off.

And vogelbird's suggestion of writing to support would be in relation to getting access to write/tag scripts.

Thank you for the responses!

Hopefully ok to jump into this topic since I too am new (but have not got the skills of the OP!).

I am thinking about making a challenge using an existing checker & see instructions on how to do that. This one is slightly complex though: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAJ8HF/84551

Simple question, which could also be asked on the GC forums: does the CO placing this have to qualify for the find or qualify for ALL the rows/columns??

Thanks in advance and move this to another thread if I'm not supposed to piggyback on this one. :-)
ccf :-)

If you are referring to a bingo challenge the CO has to fulfill ALL the items on the card

Thanks so much
