any chance I can see a preview of the checker in it's present MSA option only state? when this is done, I have another old cool challenge I'd like you to create a checker for.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
How's it going, do you see any issues? If possible, I'd like the checker to show the results of both option 1 and option 2 for the user. and they'd get the green check mark if they qualify using either option.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I just now editted the MSA List so the word "County" is used for Counties. Independent cities in Virginia are also part of the DC MSA and they don't have "County" in their name. Same for Baltimore and Saint Louis.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here are the counties that comprise the 25 MSAs. If any issues let me know. FYI - There is a Saint Louis County and Saint Louis in Missouri, a Baltimore County and Baltimore in Maryland and a Fairfax County and Fairfax in Virginia. There are several other independent cities listed in Virginia. Anything without "County" in its name is a City. 1 New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
thx.ill be working on the county lists for the MSAs next.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here are the 25 cities and their OSM relation-ids: City Relation-Id 1 New York, NY 175905 2 Los Angeles, CA 207359 3 Chicago, IL 122604 4 Houston, TX 2688911 5 Philadelphia, PA 188022 6 Phoeniz, AZ 111257 7 San Antonio, TX 253556 8 San Diego, CA 253832 9 Dallas, TX 6571629 10 Saby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
will do. I am very knowledgable on open street maps and adjusted some boundaries in the past. when I have all 25 cities I will document those 25 relation-idsby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
You are right. I thought the two lists were for the same 25 regions, just one being for the city and the other for the MSA. But you are correct. so carry on. If you have access to polygon's for cities, then great.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
do you want me to provide the county lists for the MSAs 3 thru 25?by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
thanks. that said, I have to believe the city boundaries are within the boundaries of the MSAs. so it's just a harder way to complete the challenge. but if you did it with city boundaries you'd also also qualify for it via the MSA boundaries which is why I think a checker for just the MSA boundaries is sufficient.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
could a checker be created for this old challenge? At least using the list of Metro Statistical Areas which as far as I can tell consist of n number of whole counties for each MSA. If a checker is feasible, I can provide a list of the counties for each MSA.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
thanks.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I just found a mistake. Tested with user val_nicole7. The checker says: You've found GC1KHZD, which is 8.52 miles from Egypt (Montgomery County). But GC1KHZD is close to the Egypt in Wharton County, not the Egypt in Montgomery County.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It looks good now, can you pls put it into production.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
and I think the single line for Egypt should read either 'Egypt (Montgomery County)' or 'Egypt (Wharton County)', depending upon which cache you found within the radius of one of those two Egypts.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
On the individual lines showing a valid find for each city, the word "is" is missing, e.g. You've found GC1B2BG, which 0.57 miles from China.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
looks good so far. It substituted my 3+ finds in Germany for a find within the radius for Germany Texas. It appears you just need to do the check for within the radius of either Egypt 1 or Egypt 2 and it will be good. It did find a find for me within one of the radius' but I think it was checking the same radiusby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
https://coord.info/GC2NE02 - Texas Country City Challenge if given 14 waypoints for these 14 Texas Cities (note there are two Egypt's so either would count in the list of 13 cities), would it be possible to write a checker for old one?by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
You can close this request. all is good.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I will contact the CO. stay tuned.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
1,000 finds in 2 U.S. states. The checker works but it doesn't tell you any info about which regions and number of finds. I think 1) if you qualify, it should list out the two regions and the amount found in each region. 2) if you don't qualify, perhaps list out your top five regions and the amount found in each region.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
thanks. I see that now. You can now close this request.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thanks so much for this. One more thing. The project-gc greasemonkey scripts displays BOTH the original script and the new script on the right side of the cache page. This is the old one https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4D1XY/17270 that I see just above the new one https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4D1XY/72478 Do you have to somehow delete the old script for for it to no longer beby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Perfect! I see it picks up plurals too like " Baby, I've Got the Blues" Nice. please put into production.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
vogelbird / bmuzzin - are you good to go now with the new checker? The reason I'm interested is that right now this Challenge is listed as a 99 difficulty on the project-gc scale which is obviously not right. Regards, DrPflugby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thanks - now it works as it should. I hope to make it here this summer.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
https://coord.info/GC725X6 Requirement is 5 cache types on the island which has two regions. Lets use user 'matsut' as an example. Logged a find on 4/13/22 and identified 5 caches of different types. They have met the requirement as stated in their log. But the checker says: I did not make it I had only 0 different types and I needed 5 Filters:( county (Angra do heroĆsmo , Praiaby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The intent is for the colors to be whole words. But plurals will be fine too. Just not imbedded, like cREDit. Regards, DrPflugby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
sorry, I never recall seeing this and forgot about it. I will check with the CO.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
