For some reasons many finders do not pass the checker. Maybe there is another problem?by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I added this "own caches as found" feature to the checker.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Would you give links to the challenges you mentioned. As fa as I remember, continents are not allowed criteria but a list of countries is.by arisoft - Miscellaneous
I have no idea why this challenge cache has been voted to a non challenge. (Score -4 / 39% today) QuoteTo log a find for this Challenge cache you must have found, and signed all the log books of the Subject caches, and successfully completed (or pending approval) the five South Bro subjects, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. You will have found 35 unique caches covering Size, Type, Difficulty, Terrby arisoft - Challenge checker exceptions

The principle is that the example log is useful. For one county it is now useful after this modification. For 20 counties it is not useful because it will be too long. I think that in that case only the summary line is useful as an example log.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I removed extra example log entries to solve this problem. Now there is plenty of space :)by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
There should be this mark already after the cache name. If you try with YEUXLYNX you will see this. When the checker is changed to the description we have to disable the old checker. Please inform us when it is done.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Now it is ready for testing againby arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ok, I have to modify a bit more.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The modified checker is available here https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5209J/45220by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I have made a script for this. The cache owner should test the script and change it to the description when accepted. Then the old checker will be disabled.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I modified https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8CQDD/44822 to allow owned caches as found ones. Please test and tell us whether it is suitable for you.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ok, this is a new explanation. :) Anyway, Now it is possible to make a challenge based on the age of the cache in days.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It is possible to add an extra check which displays caches near the limit. The problem with this kind of challenges is that you should be able to check whether the finder have met all requirements or not. When someone else also finds the cache you can not verify who met the requirements and when. Reviewers also tend to interprete these like a competition which is not allowed. Let's see whby arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Now it stops counting to archiving date.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Archiving date and last found date are available. And the beginning of the calculation can be placed date or published date. There are many options :)by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here is a preliminary version of the checker you requested. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8CXHH/44697 There are some issues. 1) You do not fulfill this challenge. 2) Need to know what happens to archived caches. 3) It is highly possible that reviewers will not accept this. Please test and tell us how to proceed with this checker.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I remember that archived caches must be taken into account anyway.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I removed "full D/T Matrix in at least two different Regions" from the checker. Do you want to change "at least 10 loops" to "more than 10"?by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The checker is now updated to be able to count Fizzy loops. The process took about an hour. Please test again and tell us whether is it now suitable for you.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
As pieterix told, this may be the only script which can do the job for your challenge without customization, so you selected the right one for an example. You could go with your challnege cache as you have a working checker. Layout changes should not have any impact for the reviewing.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Merge is out of question but the function is easy to implement. No problems. I can tell how log it takes when I am ready :)by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This checker do not count loops. It just filters out D/T combinations which have less than 10 finds. That's why it can not tell how many "loops" there actually is without a custom function. It is possible but takes more time to implement.by arisoft - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
