I think you originally made that PHP checker for my challenge https://coord.info/GC3NWNM (Challenge 130: Complete 10 cache owners) which has exactly the same rules, except that it requires 10 completed COs.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It appears that as of now, no checkers have access to lab cache data. This should change, but it will most probably require changes to each checker since lab caches lack a lot of data that regular caches have.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

You may be able to get the town boundaries from OpenStreetMap if you are lucky, but as vogelbird has already said: if this is a new challenge it won't be published since caches using user-defined polygons are notby pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
It's not a bug, it's a feature. There is a line of documentation just under the table on how to control what appears there and what doesn't.by pinkunicorn - Miscellaneous

If you use my calendar checker and set needed = 365 it will require 365 out of the 366 dates to be filled and won't care which one is empty. This parameter is mostly useful when making a challenge for "fill 183 days" or something like that. If you set needed = 366 and leapday = allow it will require 366 days if you have logged anything on leap day but will give you OK for 365 daby pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
There's a category in the checker for country souvenirs so that should be easy.by pinkunicorn - Script development
That's not all the cache types. At least webcam, locationless, lost and found, block party, lost and found celebration, GPS Maze, HQ and APE are missing. And lab caches, if you want to cound them.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Much better, actually, would be a library function along the lines of PGC_link_to_icon(cache_type).by pinkunicorn - Script development
For the record, new challenge checker writers are once again accepted (send requests to Project-GC support).by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
You don't need to make a complete run (hopefully, at least - you can terminate the run after finding 25 or whatever the limit is). The trick would be to get the most probable people tested first and have a smart end condition. Which, obviously, is the kind of thing that is easy to do for a human and very difficult for a program.by pinkunicorn - Miscellaneous
As I understand it, these challenges have already been done with this condition not part of the rules. I'm not very good at following the forum, unfortunately, otherwise I could have made changes for that. I'll try to see if it pops up again.by pinkunicorn - Script development
I haven't seen such a challenge but if you point me to one (preferrably via mail to by geocaching account) I'll look into adding support for that.by pinkunicorn - Script development
My 2c would be that they are souvenirs and should be default count as such. If a specific challenge wants to count them only as two (I suppose you mean "the IGCD one" and "one or more of all the other ones" ) that's for that challenge owner to decide. If that happens, someone (me, probably) needs to adapt the souvenir checker to handle that case as well. I don't thinby pinkunicorn - Script development
I don't see an immediate problem (but I haven't written any checker with that method).by pinkunicorn - Checker news
With this "solution" we will instead get an ever-increasing number of special checkers where people have just copied various bits from other checkers to make some change, and then never get the benefit of updates to the original checker, instead of trying to suggest updates to existing checkers.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
There is proof of concept?by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It would be *very* nice if there was a way for one script to call methods from another script so we could avoid this kind of unneccessary duplication of code...by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The code in that checker is taken from an old version of my calendar script so the checker will show holes in the display grid for 29/2 even if the checker reports OK. This happens for challenges that don't require leap day. Unfortunately, my updated version of the checker doesn't handle multiple requirements so that can't be used either. Thus, either Target or I need to changeby pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I was going to say that I just tweaked the output of my calendar checker to handle leap day differently but see now that this is a different checker. But still, the regular calendar checker output will now show leap day as optional (if indeed the challenge criteria allow it to be, which isn't always the case).

All my calendar challenges require leap day as well as any other date. Has that changed with the new guidelines? If so, I've missed that requirement.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Are you aware that you need to have completed the challenge requirements yourself in order to get a challenge cache published under the new guidelines?by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I assumed that each type needed to be found in micro, small, regular, large and then either other or not chosen. I can easily fix that with existing checker, given a minor modification.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I have a checker for a challenge of my own that does almost exactly that. I just need to fix so that both Other and Not Chosen may count for the same target (my challenge http://coord.info/GC5ERPZ requires Micro, Small, Regular, Large, Other). I'll try to have a look at this tonight!by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
