New Checker: Spell with different parameter value per word

Thu, 21 Jan 2016 05:45:46 +0000

Terrible title, but I could not think of anything better. Used for spelling a phrase where each word of the phrase is a different value of cache parameter. Different type, terrain, size or difficulty. So for instance, "Lets climb hills" where you spell "Lets" with terrain 1.0 caches, "climb" with terrain 2.0 and "hills" with terrain 3.0.

Already in use for GC53T7B - Drachenfelser Challenge at project-gc.com/Challenges/GC53T7B/11292.

New Checker: Generic Minute Range Checker

Tue, 16 Dec 2014 18:58:56 +0000

I have written a checker that tests for n finds between degree x and degree y. Can be limited to within a country or a region/state.

Allows for caches in the style of "New Zealand in 500 Minutes Challenge": find 500 caches representing different minutes across the length of New Zealand, which is 954 minutes long. There will also be a 1000 Minutes of Norway challenge soon.

Feel free to use this anywhere you need it.

Generic Bookmark List Checker

Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:29:16 +0000

Wrote a basic checker to search for a configurable number of logs given a bookmark list. This is mainly for a cache I am currently working on but could also be used to provide checkers for a number of other challenges who cannot currently be resolved using the current API and/or which have very specific requirements (e.g. CCC6 - The City Bowl Peaks Challenge (GC3T4X0)).

The script was initially based off some others (by lilfiluren and Target.) which I found and at the moment it is very simple but I'd be happy to add features/functionality if there is anything else people want to see.

New Checker: Generic spell with different

Wed, 19 Nov 2014 05:09:44 +0000

I have modified my Generic spell with different cache types checker. If you do not specify a parameter, it defaults to a spell with caches of different types, but now you can do geonic or word spells with different terrains, difficulty, countries, sizes - in fact any standard cache parameter except attributes.

Also
Option to remove spaces and punctuation for name checks, so B. Family only have to spell BFamily.
Option to remove accents so Â, Ã, Ä, Å, Æ all match to A
Can limit to finds in just one country/region/county.
Can exclude cache types, as many as you want, eg Exclude Locationless Caches.

So... go make a Spell GEOCACHES using geocaches of different terrains Challenge!

You can find it by searching under tools/challenge checkers/Find checker. Specify no country and search for spell type terrain (or anything else that seems sensible!)

Enjoy,
Tom

I have created a "generic spell cache with different cache types" checker. Also does spell geocaching username, can ignore or not ignore punctuation. Found and tagged 11 challenge caches with it, you are welcome to tag others if you find any.

Enjoy!
