Re: Challenge Checker request - GC8WT6P

I need all of the checker requirements for GC8KGT9 (Find with hidden date in 20 consecutive Februarys with 5 different types/ no events)

PLUS

they need to find a cache HIDDEN on every day (leapday included) of February (any year). That's 29 additional caches.
2/1, 2/2, 2/3 etc thru 2/29

Thanks!

This request requires a script extension or if you change the criteria in

Find with hidden date in 20 consecutive Februarys with 5 different types/ no events)
or
Find with hidden date in 20 consecutive Februarys from 2001 to 2020 with 5 different types/ no events)

then I can use a multiple script

I'm sorry. I am a little dense and not sure I understnad. So this checker can't be done? I just wanted the checker form

GC8KGT9

to be amended to include a found date checker from Feb 1 to Feb 29.

Sorry, I am not understanding what needs to happen.

I am not saying that your challenge is not possible but the way the first part is stated is causing a script extension.

For this year "Find with hidden date in 20 consecutive Februarys " is no problem but comes next year there are 21 year available so the checker can be for (2001 to 2020) or (2002 to 2021) and so on.

A script extension requires the script writer of the script used for GC8KGT9 to be available but we are in the middle of the holiday season in Europe and this will probable take time.

If your intent is just to find 20 different hidden year ( not necessary consecutive ) in the future or 20 different hidden year from 2001 to 2020 then I can use an existing script to make the checker

There are not 21 years available 2001-2020 (all Februarys in caching history is only 20). I want the first part to be 20 consecutive (2001 - 2020 which is the checker for GC8KGT9)

then the hidden date stuff added.

So,

1) 20 consecutive Februarys with 5 diff cache types (the checker for GC8KGT9)

plus

2) Feb 1 - Feb 29 found dates

I hope I am not frustrating you. I'm trying to understand everything you're saying.

The problem is not this year but how you want the challenge to work in the future after 2020

Replied twice. I get it now. See above reply for solution. Thanks

Wait I get it now! Future issues!!! 2002 -2021 and so forth.

How is this dealt with on GC8KGT9

Can I just say consecutive ONLY for 2001 - 2020 and not include future? That would change the challenge to those specific years (and the 5 cache types)

I would prefer that method and I'll make it specific in the cache page description.

Thanks!

Ok this way I can use the multiple test script. I will make the checker tomorrow morning European time because I need my computer to make this checker.

Thank you and sorry!
