Hi, I think this challenge will not be accepted by reviewers because it punishes geocachers if they find wrong type of caches. In guidelines "5. Standard for Criteria" says that "Challenge criteria must be positive" and in this case it is not always positive. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
This could be easier to implement if there is a list of all acceptable color variations. What are these 50 colors your mentioned?by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Checker can check only found caches. Your idea means checking against all published caches and this data is not available to the checker.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
The cache owner is the right way to address this issue as they decide the requirements.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I limited the checker to United States to get rid of the message. If it should be global please tell.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It is technically possible but it is not allowed. Your challenge will not be published with user defined polygons. You can use any combination of "official" regions as far as you do not define your own polygons.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
You can test available region options by this tool https://project-gc.com/Challenges//33090by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Every new challenge must have a checker. See alternative variations by browsing existing challenge checkers with keyword "lonely".by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
This is not possible because a checker can see only your own finds. In this challenge it should be able to see finds of other players before your one which is not possible.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Checker seems to be very complicated and can not verify that the challenge requirements are really met because of time-zone based time limits and this: "You must provide proof that you did it within 48 hours of logging your find." makes the checker almost worthless because the database may not be updated within required 48 hours.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I made a checker for this https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4TMPM/41683 Unfortinately the output gives ony qualified dates without any details about caches but it can be used as a checker.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
You can contact me directly from the letter icon next to the Script name on the checker.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I made an additional check. If the title contains a word "geotrail" it is considered a series cache regardless of the owner. It is now easy to add more similar exclusions when needed.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Some caches from the series have been adopted to a new owner. The owner was one criteria to match for series. This series may need a different approach.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Can you give a mathematical equation for required numbers. Let's use letter A,B and C for number of attributes Current requirements for the challenge are these equations: A+B+C >= 400 A >= 3 B >= 3 C >= 3 What additional equations you would have to the challenge? For example: A < (A+B+C)*0.6 B < (A+B+C)*0.6 C < (A+B+C)*0.6by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I will try to make this.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
My multiple checker could use a combined single field for "country,region,county" to shorten the tag in a single list of these combinations. Here is an example https://project-gc.com/Challenges//40933 I see immediatelly some problems like Bratislava which has many counties. It may need different test for country,region and country,county pairs to be precise. Anyway... the tag sizeby arisoft - Script development
Here is another one https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC2JXGY/41112 I hope this works as required. Please test and give feedback.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Copy to clipboard should be able to do. I have seen many players to use screenshots instead of copying the text. May be a visible button for copying to clipboard could save some of these.by arisoft - Miscellaneous
Do you mean that caches which have currently not been found in 120 days will qualify. This is possible checker but if someone finds the cache today the cache is not qualified any more. If you mean the time before the player found the cache then this checker is not possible to make because it can access only logs posted by the player himself.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I made a slightly different checker. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC82B5V/41030 Please test and tell us which one you want to use.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Pieterix, Fill missing dates, for example 29-31 february, with "virtual finds" when initializing the chart. This way it will find full line of finds without complex tests.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
More data is not needed. The diagram explained fully the situation I was not ready for. The requirement is not 12 monts but all months in a year and it depends on the day of month. How leap years are supposed to be handled?by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ok, this is enough data to verify the checker. The 31th, 30th and 29th days are the problem because there is less than 12 months required for them. This may need custom script if there is no special script for this kind of challenge already.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I tried to make this checker but the result was that you do not qualify. I must have understood something wrong. Could you give a list of caches used to qualify yourself to find the problem?by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi, There are three problems with your challenge. The first is that a checker does not know home coordinates. The second is using a distanse from a spesific position. It is a polygon which is not allowed criteria for new challenges. The third problem is time limit which is also not allowed for new challenges. You have to find another type of challenge idea because these problems can not be fixby arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Now I understand, The 11th Province was Brussels. Here is the checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC846Y4/40950 I hope I got the idea right. Please test and tell us whether it is suitable for you.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Can you explain how do you get 77 different province and type caches when 10*7=70 ?by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here is a basic checker for you. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC848HR/40945 Please test and tell us whether it is suitable for you.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I will not fight against the reviewer ;)by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
