Fantastic - Works perfectly - Thanks!!by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Need a new script - similar to: GC Last Digit Week Streak Checker(by obarshay) but uses the FIRST digit for the 7 day streak GC1 GC2 GC3 GC4 GC5 GC6 GC7 for the GC5DEHD challenge cache Thanksby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Nevermind - I found one of the multiple test checkers that works. https://project-gc.com/Challenges//52528by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Curious which checker - I could not find it.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Is there a checker that requires a cache to have multiple attributes? Example: Count the caches that have ALL the attributes: Kid Friendly Thorns Ticks Poison Plants I am asking for a friend - no specific cache yet. I may use this for several tags.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Yes he plans to use this checker - thanks for the quick replies.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I am asking for another cacher - so my qualifying is not a problem. So the main problem with the request is the "contiguous" part of the challenge - Five 5/5 trads in 5 different states would be easy to check - right?by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Is there already a checker that would validate Five 5/5 traditional caches in 5 Contiguous States? - GC8JHTV I know there are contiguous county challenges, but not sure if those checkers would work for this challenge.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
What would be necessary to make it possible to create a checker for this challenge?by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
The draft of the geocache page is at https://coord.info/GC8FCHQby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Replying to a similar post - GreyHams - indicated that a checker could be built - but he did not see one out there yet. Since the 4 caches will vary over time, this is not a list of specific caches so it should be allowable.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Is it possible to create a checker for a challenge based on Northernmost, Easternmost, Southernmost and Westernmost caches of a county?by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Looks great - thanks!!by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I was looking at the cache GC3MQ6H - it is an old challenge - is a checker possible? 1. Find and log a minimum of 100 non-traditional geocaches in a period of 60 days from start to finish. 2A. During these 100 finds you must have at least one span of 20 (twenty) or more consecutive days with at least one non-trad find per day. . 2B. Many of you, for whatever reason will not be able tby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Pieterix and I (VPDJ) have been working separately on different approaches to come up with checkers for these caches. I did not know he was working on it - and he did not know I had already completed my checkers while he was working on his checkers. I already had a checker on the 150 challenge and merely copied it for the 50 and 100 challenges. I had noticed notes on the cache pages where peoby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Unsure of your response http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC1D0WE/20395 - shows if the cacher qualifies for the challengeby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I have added checkers for each of these cachesby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
WOW - you did a superb job - everything is top-notch!! Works perfectly - great results - very understandable Your work will help us tremendously for getting checkers for our annual cache awards Many Thanks!!! One last question - how did you get the list of caches so quickly? I plan on tagging the other years (below) and adding a few caches for the missing years using your checkerby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I have checked with the CO's of these caches and the consensus was for this revised logic: Full series means 100% finds of active caches in a series must be found. Archived and active caches are counted for finds. Example: series had 6 caches - 3 archived - cacher found 3 caches - 3 active caches - result 2 points Half series means 50% or more of active caches must be foby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I think the logic for the series is not quite right - for 2014 I have a couple series where I have 50% of the caches: Found 3 of 6 active and 3 of 6 total = 0 points I would think that would have given 1 point for completing half of the series. This does not appear to be a complication of the archive situation - here is a second example - with 4 archived caches: Found 8 of 16 active aby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Would it be possible to move the GC Codes arrays so that they are input parameters? Nominated and series arrays and maybe gccode. This would allow the checker to be used for multiple years - i.e., 2014 - GC5RNWPby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ok - thanks for the quick reply - I will check with the CO to ensure this is as intended. Would it be possible to list the non-series caches that the person has not yet found? This would help them to know how to qualify - which caches they need to find yet. Thanks, - VPDJby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Not sure on the logic you used for the series - how is active vs archive - and half vs full series implemented?by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Archive vs active is handled by adjusting the tagging set of caches Changing the required number of points is also handled by adjusting the checker tagging. This could be facilitated by having 2 sets of tagging - 1 set for active and another for archive for example: Active single caches - gcxxx,gcyyy Archived single caches gczzz, gcaaa Series1 active caches - gc222, gc333 Series1 aby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I guess I do not understand the problem you are referring to. We do not need to know if caches are active or not to perform this checker Given a list of caches - assign 1 point for each cache found Given a list of caches in a series - assign 1 point for finding 50% and another point for finding 100% You can have multiple series of caches. - VPDJby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
There would need to be several bookmark lists - one for the points-based set of single caches - another bookmark list for each of the several series - sets of caches - each series of caches would get 1 point for 50+% and the other 1 point for 100% The list of caches would not change Perhaps the use of a list of GC codes in the tagging would be quicker and easier. - VPDJby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Number of required finds can be passed in from a parameter for the checker For example: GC26V49 - NoVAGO's Best of 2009 Challenge Points-based challenge checker (by SeekerSupreme) "PointsRequired": 9, then it can be adjusted on the cache page and the checker by the CO. Thanks, - VPDJby vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
No need to use a bookmark list - the GC code can be listed - like is done with the points based script. Then just need to add the capability of multiple lists - each of which is an array of GC codes for the series.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
CO will maintain checker list for active caches - so checker only needs to calculate 1 point for 50%+ and 1 point for entire list.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This is an old challenge - so is grandfathered in.by vpdj - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
