I updated the linked post. I believe the missing attribute 68 is getting closer to be released.by magma1447 - Checker news
To be honest I am not 100% sure what has been the issue. But the data has now been updated again. Sorry that I missed fixing one of them. There were two places to update for that one, and one for the other. I of course missed that. Anyway. I just ran the user "Michel-Angelo" and he is getting Prescott and Russel on his list.

My mistake that Prescott and Russell didn't get properly fixed. I will work that out now. It will however take another 24 hours. However. Since the challenge checker uses the same name as the county has in Project-GC, this isn't the issue. The county could be called "Heaven", as long as it has the same name in both Project-GC and the checker. I think we need to understanby magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It's hopefully because it's in progress. The location of all geocaches in Canada, including archived, is ve recalculated.by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@str8upcacher: Just wanted to inform you that the update has been delayed. Adding the fixed data caused some issues and I didn't notice it at the time. I have just restarted the task and will try to be better to monitor it this time. The issue is that it's a handful of tasks that needs to run, and with some of them taking hours it's easy to lose track of it. When starting it yesby magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

@sloth96 Absolutely, I agree, good argument. And it would have been nice if HQ actually had arguments like that. But I also agree with your flip side. Sometimes COs actually could need some discouragement on that topic. And also on the other hand, many challenge discourages low ratings then, which should be at least as big of an issue. But it also seems that geocaches are getting higher and hiby magma1447 - Script development
@pieterix Thank you for the information. I took a shortcut when doing it, I added hard coded options to the three scripts I wanted to use (which were already my own). One parameter per setup I wanted to avoid. For example noParkAndGrab: true. However, HQ doesn't seem too fond of the idea and I don't really see their point yet. Even though prejudices doesn't exist I wanted to scaby magma1447 - Script development
This is only by part related to script development, but since I am BOFH I guess I can do what I want? This post is related to this thread. The conclusion is that I wish to create a challenge where a certain (or a pair of) attribute doesn't count. Imagine for example "Full D/T on geocaches not requiring boat", though that's not my plan. But it's simpler to understand.by magma1447 - Script development
@Sloth96 - No there isn't. But I don't believe that most of these series has been created to intentionally ruin challenges, at least not as a target. Therefore I hope that they leave their attributes as they are and that at least not too many series will be created with the sole attempt to ruin the game. I am still waiting to get approval from reviewers though. It's not crystalby magma1447 - Script development
Seems like I did, on one of three. Thank you for informing me, especially since I have a challenge in queue based on the script.by magma1447 - Script development
I believe I found another way around my problem, which makes it less of a bookkeeping challenge, and also simpler/faster. I include geocaches that the PT-attribute and also all geocaches that has the combination Special tool required an No tree climbing, a combination that is very common on the full D/T series, at least in Sweden (since they almost always are 50% pole fishing).

I have a small issues, which has lead to a thought. I would like to create a challenge to have Full D/T of Multis (or maybe 80 unique D/Ts). My issue is that in Sweden, there are 153 Swedes who has full D/T with Multis. However, almost every single one of them has it from a stupid cache series where I know 90% of the canisters has quite fake rating, I have logged the series myself.

I have now released the code. Not tested, but it was very minor changes so I am quite confident it will work. I didn't really get this part. I interpret it as you wish me to change something. If so, please explain again. QuoteI started going down this road as an alternative to using GetNumCachesInArea to create a jasmer checker that will automatically notice missing months.

You are correct, some copy paste issues, or maybe just not thinking enough when doing the code and sanitation for the filters. I'll fix them today and will try to release them tomorrow.by magma1447 - Method requests
Today I updated the polygon data for USA and Czechia. The scripts comparing old and new doesn't flag anything. For USA it's just some tweaked borders and really shouldn't affect anything, except that a single digit geocaches will be moved from one county to another. For Czechia it's recent changes from their government. A county got larger since a few land areas now belongsby magma1447 - Checker news
I got notified about some Challenge Guideline updates from HQ. I believe it's more of clarification and not really a change. Here is the information I received: QuoteHQ We have added the following to the Not Acceptable column of 10. Source of Criteria: Challenges based on words or letters. Examples: use the first letter of regions of found caches to spell a word, find caches with attribuby magma1447 - Checker news
There are zero scripts that matches 'Lyon Metropolis' and zero configs that matches it. I can't find uploaded json files matching either. What I can imagine matching is: * Challenges to log X amount in France where X might be one too high now. * You continues checkers where this area might need to be adjusted now. One area to remove, and Rhone might touch a few more.by magma1447 - Checker news
Currently the votes are: Keep as it is: 6 votes Merge them: 109 votes Therefore I have now told Project-GC to merge these two, it will take up to 24 hours until it's completed all through the system.by magma1447 - Checker news
It's likely that two counties in France will be merged in a week or so. For some reason OSM has split 'Rhône' into 'D Rhône' and 'Lyon Metropolis'. It has looked like this on Project-GC for as long as we can see (at least since 2019), but we have recently received feedback that this probably isn't correct.

LUA is executed using MediaWiki's LuaSandbox. Max memory usage and Max cpu time is handled by their code entirely. I don't know how well documented it is what it's actually doing, I never looked it up. When switching sandbox implementation I just checked that it worked reasonable.

I was wrong, it does indeed have regions. I came home yesterday after a quite long trip and obviously I wasn't awake enough when looking this up. But as DrAcorn says, there are no active geocaches in Guatemala/Guatemala. 28 archived, 0 active. Sorry for causing confusion.by magma1447 - Method requests
It's more that I didn't know that the consts showed up in the documentation at all. The danger of automatic documentation I guess.by magma1447 - Method requests
I can't see that the country Guatemala has any region support at all, or has ever had it in Project-GC.by magma1447 - Method requests
Yes, due to a spelling error. There is also a related issue from updating our polygon system. I won't be able to release a fix until next week.by magma1447 - Checker news
Tags has been transferred. I tested one, it seemed to work. I didn't really read the output to be honest, I trust in you, after all it doesn't seem like the most complex checker in the system. :)by magma1447 - Checker news
@DrAcorn Thanks. And while at it, also a big thank you for all your Wiki-edits. I don't think there is a reason to overdo your script and add type support. These challenges aren't allowed to be created. They are actually against multiple rules, yet there has been a handful published the last years.

You are probably correct that there is no need for the new method. But in my end it was just to add another method, use the same code as before, but include the badgegen-v4-include file instead of the old one. It didn't even take me five minutes to create that method. That's why I did it now when I had the whole badgegen-thing in my mind.by magma1447 - Checker news
