You could use a variable to store the status of the zone, i.e. if status == 0, show message and set status = 1; if status == 1, do nothing

And not to put too fine a point on it, I'm paying for this service, so I expect to have a choice in such matters.

Sharing savegames on the web sounds great, but even a couple of slots within the app would be a huge improvement. As a player, I rename and copy savegames at critical stages, but that's really a pain in the *** As an owner, I avoid tasks for the player where he can truly fail, so he doesn't have to start all over again - with several savegames no problem anymore, in my opinion.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but: it would be a very nice feature to have more than one savegame per cartridge.

Very nice. Having the ablility to use internet is definitely great, but we'll have to bear in mind that some tablets don't have cellular capability, and (at least here in Germany) cellular coverage of forested and rural areas is slow at best. And cartridges without zones? Dialog driven only with a couple of characters sitting in the inventory :-)

That sounds great - if needed, count me in for translating (German) and testing. I always thought that Wherigo not needing an internet connection is one of it's strong points. Streaming and web services should be an option, not a requirement.

garmin uses it's very own sound file format - *.fdl - which cannot do much more than play beeps. to make your own, look for system beep recoder (don't have a link at the moment). but: all other platform cannot play fdl-files, so if you want sound on all platforms you'll have to check for platform and deliver the right sound file.

forum software broke the link in yesterday's post, because it auto corrects "Wherigo" (did it again here, only upper case W allowed in Wherigo) to "Wherigo". there seems to be no way to avoid that, so you'll have to fix it by hand, it needs a lower case w

+1 in my experience the player that sucks most is the one on the garmin devices - so everything that works on garmin should pretty much work on other players. rules that come to mind: - don't use the onClick event - use displayScreen only for Mainscreen - don't use *.png images - if you want sound, you'll have to use a fork - deliver *.fdl for garmin, *. mp3 or *.wav for others (explained here: http://www.geocaching-dresden.de/tools/tutorial-Wherigo-urwigo/index6.php) you should avoid using umlauts - most players can't display them. but it's akward watching oneself while writing text all the time - i usally write text using umlauts, and at the very end i open the cartridge in a text editor and run search-replace a couple of times for ä -> ae and so on.

Is there a way to have the script wait till an audio has played to it's end? something like sleep(time). grets micha
