Re: New challenge and new script required GC7D5XW

Hi
I need help to create a checker.

My proposal is: GC7D5XW, 12 different types.
The condition to get it is one of these two:
1.- To have 12 caches of different type found or
2.- To have 8 caches of different type found and moreover 4 different hidden active caches.
In this second condition it is allowed to repeat the types of the caches between those hidden and those found.
They are also allowed caches hidden and found in any country for both of the conditions.

The possible cache types are:
Geocache Types
Traditional Geocache, Mystery or Puzzle Caches, Multi-Cache, EarthCache, Letterbox Hybrid, Event Cache, Cache In Trash Out Event (CITO), Mega-Event Cache, Giga-Event Cache, Wherigo™ Cache, Geocaching HQ Geocache, GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit e Lab Caches

Grandfathered Cache Types
Virtual Cache, Webcam Cache, Project A.P.E. Cache, 10 Years! Event Cache e Locationless (Reverse) Cache

I meet the requirements and so do some geocachers close to me while there are others who only have left one cache to get the challenge.

My reviser accepts the challenge if I get a check from Project-GC to meet the new standards, that's why I am asking for your help.

I have found some similar checker but not equal in https://project-gc.com/Tools/Challenges. They are the following:
Archived: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5E9WC_challenge-8-icons-in-1-day-in-spain
https://project-gc.com//Challenges/GC4EMJ2/978

Hope you'll help me, thanks

The second condition is not allowed

Please read 2.11. Challenge caches https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206

10. Source of Criteria
Not acceptable
Requiring cachers to own a cache.

Apologies, I have mistaken again, I have reviewed the possibilities of the next geocachers and there are three types of caches that would raise the difficulty a lot because they are not common in Galicia, they are the types: Webcam Cache, Mega-Event Cache and Giga-Event Cache , therefore I consider that the condition would suffice with:
Have found two caches of each type different, you need 10 types of caches and it is accepted in one of them 1 only found.
My intention is for geocachers to be encouraged to experiment with different types of caches!
Thank you for your prompt response and dedication so that we can enjoy a better geocahing.

Reviewer here. Your list of cache types includes Lab Caches, which are not eligible for challenges. Also, I'm not sure whether you intended to exclude any valid cache types, but your list excludes the "Groundspeak Lost and Found" and "Groundspeak Block Party" cache types.

In summary:
1.- I must remove condition 2
2.- I have to eliminate lab-type caches
3.- I can include the caches "Groundspeak Lost and Found" and "Groundspeak Block Party"
4. The new and unique condition could be:
Have found two caches of each type different, you need 11 types of caches and it is accepted in one of them 1 only found.
Accepted types are:
Traditional Geocache, Mystery or Puzzle Caches, Multi-Cache, EarthCache, Letterbox Hybrid, Event Cache, Cache In Trash Out Event (CITO), Mega-Event Cache, Giga-Event Cache, Wherigo™ Cache, Geocaching HQ Geocache, GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit.
Virtual Cache, Webcam Cache, Project A.P.E. Cache, 10 Years! Event Cache, Locationless (Reverse) Cache and
"Groundspeak Lost and Found" and "Groundspeak Block Party".

Would it be correct with these modifications?
Could you help me with the checker?

In my environment there are already geocachers who meet the proposed condition or who would easily reach it

Here is the link to the checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7D5XW/29331

Please confirm that this is the checker you require

Thank you so much for your speed.
Until tomorrow, I will not be able to verify the checker.
Only one question remains and I apologize, I have sent two messages almost in a row modifying the condition

In the first one: 4. The new and unique condition could be:
They have found two caches of each type different, you need 11 types of caches and it is accepted in one of them 1 only found.

In the second: Have found two caches of each type different, you need 10 types of caches and it is accepted in one of them 1 only found.

The checker you have done is for 11 types or for 10 types? I prefer the 10 types but there is no problem if it is the 10, sorry.
Sorry, it is to modify the challenge page and send it for review.

At the moment he checker is for 10 types with 2 caches + 1 type with 1 cache = 11 cache types

I'm really sorry for the work I'm giving you.
In order for this challenge to be easily realized by the close geocachers and taking into account the existing caches in Galicia, you could modify it so that it was only necessary to find 2 caches of each of the 10 different types and accept the challenge as achieved if in two of the types only one has been found.
Apologies and thanks for your great work

Checker is changed to 8 types with 2 caches + 2 types with 1 cache = 10 cache types

As soon as I can modify the description and send it to the reviewer.
Thank you very much for your help.

Here is the checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7D5XW/29332

Vogelbird's checker is better. I remove this tag.
