I will upgrade the USA polygons from version 2013 to version 2016 this week. I currently have a test version imported where I will try to see if there are any big changes. I have heard via http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=11743/alaskan-wade-hampton-renamed-to-kusilvak-census-area&show=11750#a11750 that at least one county has changed its name.by magma1447 - Checker news
I think Mole125's answer covers the whole thing quite well. It will be done if it's either interesting enough, or easy enough. As he said, it's quite hard to say "no-one will fix this script" since it's a few script developers who doesn't have any real contact besides this forum. They do not have any communication about your script in between them. That saby magma1447 - Miscellaneous
An update of the Spanish polygons is in progress. The polygons are already there, the servers are currently calculating the location of the 80000 geocaches there. Differences that we noticed: * Some counties did not exist in our old polygons. Very unsure why, they should have been there. * Borders might have been slightly adjusted, nothing we could see clearly. But the data dump was 31 MB inby magma1447 - Checker news
Have you tried posting in the Checker request forum to see if anyone can help you creating the 9 tags and the script? Our intention has been to allow new script creators for a long time now. We have however been forced to prioritize other matters which I can not go into details about right now.by magma1447 - Miscellaneous
I agree, I usually do what you are saying like this: local filter = {} if conf.filter ~= nil then filter = conf.filter end and then I use that local filter variable when I call upon GetFinds() Example script: http://project-gc.com/Challenges//22344?edit&scriptId=1447 (funny the script has id 1447, considering my alias)by magma1447 - Script development
The QA question http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=11511/reinach-ag-municipality-missing-on-project-com-switzerland has made us look into the Switzerland polygons. Project-GC does not technically support the fact that two counties within the same country has the same name. This was the fact for Switzerland. They will then in most cases be considered the same county, obviously the maps didn't geby magma1447 - Checker news
I have removed the cloned tag for you. Vogelbird was kind enough to notify me about the need and link this thread. Sorry for the wait, have been away over the weekend (attending a mega event).by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Did you manage to fix it yourself after I gave you permissions?by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The following three tags have one of the changed region names in the config: +-------+---------+ | id | creator | +-------+---------+ | 3072 | 360754 | | 17188 | 7462783 | | 21221 | 7462783 | +-------+---------+ The following five scripts matches the names: +------+---------+ | id | creator | +------+---------+ | 533 | 254729 | | 964 | 891244 | | 999 | 2481816 | | 100by magma1447 - Checker news
Added region polygons for Iceland. County polygons seems incomplete in OSM and has to wait (~54/76). We chose to use the international names for the regions instead of the local ones due to their non standard characters and low local geocaching activity. The following regions were added: Capital Region Southern Region Eastern Region Northeastern Region Southern Peninsula Northwesternby magma1447 - Checker news
Using the minVisitDate is probably against the guidelines for challenges. I believe it was against the former guidelines as well actually. All finds must count if I remember correct. You can double check that with your reviewer.by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Formerly anyone using Project-GC could create tags. This was changed the last months to be permission based and we added everyone who owned an active tag into the list. Since your tag wasn't active, you did not get permissions. I saw two solutions to help you, either I updated the tag, but then you wouldn't be able to change it in the future either. Instead I gave you permissions toby magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Today we found out that our names for regions in Spain did not match Geocaching.com. We have therefore renamed some of ours: 'Catalunya' => 'Cataluña' 'Comunidad de Madrid' => 'Comunidad de Madrid' 'Comunitat Valenciana' => 'Comunidad Valenciana' 'Canarias' => 'Islas Canarias' 'Illes Balears'by magma1447 - Checker news
Long-term we are aiming for another system to give feedback on checkers. Ie up and downvoting and maybe even a public form with feedback of what is wrong. Until we are there, we should consider to change the design. A first step could potentially be to just change the order of Tagged by and Script owner. Potentially it might affect some Javascripts, so we have to test it a bit.by magma1447 - Miscellaneous
There aren't any great news to tell actually. The plan was to be able to provide it about 6 weeks after the moratorium was lifted. However there has been quite a few smaller issues related to the challenge checkers that we found more urgent. We will start working on this task again during next week. IF everything goes smoothly and isn't harder to implement than we expect, it should tby magma1447 - Miscellaneous
You have probably had an alert on the top of the page saying: QuoteTo be able to write in the forum you need a verified email address.

Considering the fact that there is only one geocache for four of the 7 types in that area, not counting events, I would see it as an issue if I were a reviewer, for several reasons. mapby magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This challenge is very likely to violate rule #11 in the guidelines. It would be great if you could ask your reviewer if the challenge would be OK before any time is spent on it. Technically it's not a problem to create such challenge checker.by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It is correct that this will violate rule 14. Positive Challenge Criteria. You should check with your reviewer to get approval, or adjust the requirements to something else.by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I have deleted the tag for you. Hopefully we can make it easier to remove the tags in the future.by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

As Target states. The only difference is that a logged in user will not see the coordinates of premium geocaches. Therefore a checker that is dependent on latitude longitude might not handle it correctly if the user running it isn't premium. Project-GC would expect the script creator to handle the feedback. But a general warning could be expected (which we haven't really thought abouby magma1447 - Miscellaneous
I have disabled the checker in itself since it's not accurate. Hopefully someone can provide a correct one. Sadly it wasn't an easy change since the script used didn't support a forced order. I would assume a new script needs to be created for this one, at least I couldn't find anything existing that was usable.by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This is actually exactly what the guideline is written against. I think you should discuss this with the reviewer before anyone spends time on it.by magma1447 - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I love the expression CDO, I use that sometimes as well. If something needs to be moved that you can't move, just post the links here and I will get to it.by magma1447 - Miscellaneous

A patch made a long time ago that left a $mysqli->free_result() in a place where there was no result anymore. It was related to using descriptions in checkers I think.by magma1447 - Script development
I might have found an issue, but if so, it must have been broken for quite some time. I found something strange in the code, but it's code that hasn't been touched for months. Anyway. I will release a fix, it's out there in a few minutes. Since the script/tag is disabled, I can't test run it easily.by magma1447 - Script development
