Can I use the same checker and place a different GC# for an identical challenge in another country?

Question

There are more than one challenge based on six different types of caches in six different states, provinces, or countries.  Will I be able to use this same checker for other cache challenges just by replacing the "GC581QN" with the different GC codes?

Answer 1

It's easy to create a checker that can be used for more than one challenge. Have a look at my checker "X types in Y countries" that is used for http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC59KP2/12102 and a number of other challenges. It should be very close to what you want, and you should be able to use that for any country-related challenges of that type.

 

Answer 2

yes, you can use it for another challenges, you need only tag it with the same or different config.

The current config for hte gc581qn is 

• {
      "types": 6,
      "states": 6,
      "cachetypes": [
          "Traditional Cache",
          "Unknown Cache",
          "Multi-cache",
          "Event Cache",
          "Earthcache",
          "Letterbox Hybrid",
          "Cache In Trash Out Event",
          "Wherigo Cache",
          "Webcam Cache",
          "Lost and Found Event Cache",
          "Mega-Event Cache",
          "GPS Adventures Exhibit",
          "Project APE Cache",
          "Groundspeak Block Party",
          "Giga-Event Cache",
          "Groundspeak HQ",
          "Groundspeak Lost and Found Celebration"
      ],
      "country": [
          "Germany"
      ]
  }

so, if your cache is identical, you can use it as-is. If not, you can modify it for your configuration.
