[Resolved] 5 caches with more than 51% of FPs in Extremadura

Hi mates,
I would like to do a new challenge on finding 5 caches from Extremadura (Spain) that have more than 51% of FPs on the date you make the log. It is not difficult to get.

Hope someone can help or maybe offer me some advice. I have programming knowledge, but I don't know if I can do a new checker by myself.

Thank you in advance. --Adolficus (Adolfo)

I thing this challenge breaches the rules - see item 12 on https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206

No is it %FP on caches not % of caches in area

I might be reading the rule incorrectly:
Finding all or any percentage of the caches, or of a cache type, rating, or other allowable value within a specified area; e.g. 80% of EarthCaches in France is not publishable.
The requirement is >51% of the FPs in an area, Extremadura.

That to me is a percentage of.... other allowable value within a specified area.

It is impossible to know if a cache had >51% FP on the date of the log. The only information the checkers has is the current FP.
I suggest that you change it to that you have have logged 5 caches with >51% FP (or perhaps >%50 FP) Not at time of found but any time after when you run the checker and can show it.
Just write that you have to have 5 finds with >51% FP. And that you have to show it with a screendump of the checker.
Then you don't have to mention when because it will be any time the checker is run.


On the date of find is impossible to do even if more information is given to the checker because there is not enough information provided from gc.com.
You need the time that all premium log were posted. Not the date in the log but when it was submitted to gc.com.
And the same for FP addition/removal since both can happen at different time then the log.
Then you would get the information that id had >51% FP the day you logged it. That if is times are in second else you can know if it might have hade it that day.
But that information is not provide by gc.com.

Ok, thank you Target, I understand it. I can change my requirements to ">51% FPs in Extremadura" (without date). How can I get a checker? Thank you, Adolfo

I can tag it but it will be >=51%
But you need to post the gc code

I crated in but need to addgccode.
You have a problem and that is that you only have 2 caches >=51FP in Extremadura

Ah, ok, I need to do some geocaching more :)

I'm going to try my own challenge in the next days. What's next? Thank you

Thank you very very much for the work! I'm going to get my own challenge, and I'll send to publish the cache.

How can I change this code? I know some of programming in LUA. Only you can develop this programs? Thanks for all. Best and happy caching.

You cant write checkers if you are not allowed to now. There will be a process to add writers. When that will happen have I not idea of.
If you are interested how it works you can read all code of exinsing checkers and read the documentation in the forum.
I dont know if the API is linked from there but it is http://project-gc.com/doxygen/lua-sandbox/classPGC__LUA__Sandbox.html
