Re: GC85DHJ / Challenge – Schaffhausen «clean»

Hi there

We would like to have a checker created for GC85DHJ / Challenge – Schaffhausen «clean»

Requirements: All active caches in the region Schaffhausen in the country Switzerland have to be found.
Exceptions: archived caches, disabled caches, event caches, owned caches and this challenge cache (GC85DHJ)

The basis for this checker might be the checker from the challenge GC5DE7Z (https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5DE7Z/12001)

Thank you in advance.

The checker is possible but the guidelines to reviewers would not allow a total cleanout of a county. Most likely a reviewer will only accept 80% and archived caches should count.
Please ask your local reviewer what he allows

Thanks for your prompt reply. I thought I read all the guidelines

Thanks for your prompt reply. I thought I read all the guidelines

This information is not available to the public but is in the guidance notes to the reviewers

The restriction is documented in the public Help Center guidance on Challenge Caches. It's item 12 in the chart, "All or percentage of Caches."

Hello again.

After long discussions we have decided the following requirements for this challenge:
- 333 founds in the region Schaffhausen in the country Switzerland
- event caches and owned caches are excluded

Could you please program such a checker for us?

Since we will mention in the listing, what the original idea was („Schaffhausen clean“), we would like to include a second checker as we have asked for it in the first place. This will be just as an optional challenge. It would be nice, when this checker not only says „fulfills/does not fulfill“ but also shows a list of the caches not found yet.
Could you please also program this checker for us? That would be great!

Thank you in advance.

Here's a checker for you:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC85DHJ/42809

And this is the optional one which I'm not linking to a GC code:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges//42810

Please test and let us know if it's suitable.

Thank you!

At the first glance it‘s looking good, but we’ll test day by day.

Could you please add a list of the not found caches to https://project-gc.com/Challenges//42810 ?

The name of the Challenge-Cache is: Challenge – Schaffuuse «clean»
Could you please add this to the “result-page”.

We've tested with our own profile (“Chnoblis”) which has right now 402 funds containing 10 event caches and we’ve tested on “LabiCH” which has 336 funds containing 17 event caches.

The checker (test on LabiCH) says: User fulfills challenge and “User has 336 finds (333 needed).Filters:( excludeTypes (Events) , region (Schaffhausen) , country (Switzerland) )”
The filter seems not to exclude the event caches. Could you please adjust this important detail.

Could you please label this checker with: alle aktiven Caches im Kanton Schaffhausen
Is it possible to add a list of all caches (with link) which are missing to fulfill this “Challenge”?

Thank you!

Right, after quite a bit of debugging I've come to the conclusion that there's a bug in the script used for the first checker I provided (and I've now deleted that one). Please rather use the following checker instead:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC85DHJ/42994

Project-GC doesn't have access to unpublished caches, hence the "?" you see there. Once your challenge is published (or a reasonable time thereafter), it will show the name of your cache there.

The second checker will never show the name of the cache since it's not linked to the cache and will never be, since it's an optional checker and not an official one (since it violates the guidelines).

The cache is now published (:D Thank you for your help.

Is it possible to add a list with all the caches that are missing to fulfill the challenge to the second checker ( https://project-gc.com/Challenges//42810 ) ? And could you do it?

Thank you veeeery much.

We don't have access to the list of caches in any county, region or country. All we have is the number of caches in such, so we compare the number of finds by the user with that total number. So impossible to show which ones you're still missing.

OK. Thank you for all your work and help.
