Re: GC73CMR Everest Altitude in 4 diffrent countries

Hi all,

I need a checker which checks twice the hight of mount everest > 17696 meter in the top 10 of highest elevations.
The amount must be fullfiled in 4 different countries (4 different countries in top 10 of highest elevations)

Thx for your support
Mazed

There is no record of the top 10 elevations in the API for countries. Therefor this checker is not possible on those conditions. An alternative is something in the line of
"nrCountries": 4,
"nrCaches": 10,
"sumAltitude": 17696

output
You have found 10 caches in 4 countries:
Switzerland: 2078m GCXCFE MoCache_CH77 St. Gotthard/San Gottardo 2014-09-06
Switzerland: 1892m GC4EBBB Gottardo - Punto panoramico 2014-09-06
Austria: 2298m GC2NXM2 Brownie Heights 2016-02-11
Switzerland: 2414m GC3TZA4 Säntis – Der Berg 2016-07-03
Germany: 1794m GC5G5RZ Hochgrat 1834 2016-07-30
Austria: 3041m GC2Y24W TOP OF SALZBURG - Kitzsteinhorn - 3029m 2017-02-04
Italy: 1698m GC2T4J2 Oh! Calfosch 2017-02-26

Italy: 1644m GC14GW3 Zenzele 2017-02-28
Italy: 2170m GC3FV67 Tana 2017-03-01
Total altitude = 20904m

Thx vogelbrid for the quick response

so the conditions for the challenge is you must have 10 caches in 4 countries with a total altitude of at least 17696 meters, right? That would be fine for me.

Best regards

Here is the link to the checker http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC73CMR/26767

The checker says I have qualified and I have only caches in 2 countries. That surprised me.

Good that you checked, I will contact jpavlik about this.

I've fixed the script. Thank you for bugreport.

Is this a change in the interpretation of nrCountries from previous tags?
Some it seemed to be using no more than X countries.

Now it seems to be achieve it in this many countries.

Can you give me a example of tag and user for which the checker does not work correctly?
I've only add the condition to check the number of different countries involved.
The condition of nrCountries has been always intended as required number of countries (at least one cache in every country), but the test was missing.

This tag was working OK before the change but now the last three people are failing
http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6TFTZ/22869

this tag is wrong, the challenge is completely different and has another tag (also created by vogelbird)
the challenge GC6TFTZ is "You need to have logged 30 caches in Bourbon County, KY to qualify," The right checker for this challenge is: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6TFTZ/22866
I've disabled the wrong tag.

Thanks, l did not realise that this Gccode was request twee.

Hi all,

many thanks for the checker, great job. I assume it works correctly?
So I'll go forward with my challenge.

Thx once more
Mazed

Yes, the checker works correct
