[Resolved] Checker request for GC8XH4Y
July 30, 2020 02:29PM
Hi!

I need a checker for a challenge similar to GC8REJ4. But I don't want to exclude other countries than Germany. It's also okay to find the three cache types in five states of the USA, another three in five provinces of Canada and the rest in Germany, Switzerland or any country you want.

Thank you very much!

It doesn't work like expected. I used the account of "Majerro" to try it and found an error in Poland. That's the output of the checker:

US State/CA Prov/Country: **Poland** (19)
Letterbox Hybrid - GC3JHCT / Gorzno LetterBOX / 2013-05-25
Mega-Event Cache - GC3YCP3 / MEGA EVENT Poland 2013 / 2013-05-25
Traditional Cache - GC477B4 / Drzewo Radości / Der Freudenbaum / 2013-04-19

GC3JHCT was placed in Kujawsko-Pomorskie and GC477B4 in Zachodniopomorskie. These are different "states" . But in my challenge the three icons have to be in the same state. Also it would be nice if the checker outputs the name of each of the 16 state.

And at last it's a little bit confusing that every "block" starts with "US State/CA Prov/Country". Every kind of state in every country of the world is okay for that challenge.

Thanks for your help!

Maybe I misunderstood you, the checker I made in for US States or Canadian Provinces or other country but if this is not the case and you just need any regions you can try this

Perfect, that's it! I have only one request. Is it possibly to change the output of the checker to reduce the characters? At the moment, more characters are used than fit in a log. For example...

This is currently the output:

Region: **Mecklenburg-Vorpommern** (20)
Multi-cache - GCNV84 / Germany / Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / Ausguck / 2007-06-10
Traditional Cache - GCPN2P / Germany / Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / Batterie alle? / 2006-12-26
Unknown Cache - GC14ZF2 / Germany / Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / Lost place Ravenna im Wald / 2007-08-25

I think it's not necessary to repeat country and region in every line and I would like to change it this way:

Country: Germany, Region: **Mecklenburg-Vorpommern** (20)
Multi-cache - GCNV84 / Ausguck / 2007-06-10
Traditional Cache - GCPN2P / Batterie alle? / 2006-12-26
Unknown Cache - GC14ZF2 / Lost place Ravenna im Wald / 2007-08-25

I remove the regions but left the country in the output because I can not change the heading. The script is generic and used for different items

Because I've no other idea how to shorten the output, the topic can be archived now. But the checker works fine and the challenge is ready to publish now. Thank you for your help!
