I think that the WF.Player for Android goes beta soon, so more than a handful persons can check it out. I have tested several alphas and it looks already very good.

Deactivate "Use online compilation", build a GWZ in urwigo, transfer it from your computer to Wherigo.com

No, only Oregon and Colorado. Propably on Monterra Wherigo will work again (with an Android player)

Sometimes, but very seldom, I have had these issue (only on garmin) too. It helps either to start the cartridge again and restore or shut down the whole device, start again and restore or (this ever helps) shut down, remove the batteries put them in again, start and restore. Your cartridge is not too big, I have seen GWCs which were several times bigger than yours with 20 or more zones, 50 items, 200 pictures and more (yes garmin compiled, not ppc). I think there is no difference whether it is saved manually (on shut down and save) or do a save command (i.e action "save game" in urwigo) Which builder do you use ? As I say, problems with save or restore (on garmin) are very seldom. On 100 saves perhaps 2 or 3 times. And : You may not save a game while things are still running (move items, set variables, activate zones and so on)

A good advice : Forget the builder and either use urwigo or the Wherigo kit from rangerfox. It sounds the cartridge you are planning is very easy, so the kit would be the best for your "project tasmania"

Maybe....if you have installed a firewall with a whitelist, you have to register the right urwigo.exe

Hihi, very funny, I have had the same issue last week exactly since a windows7 and a virusscanner update on this day. I have reinstalled urwigo and this solved the problem.

I meant the cart is using meters, but the device shows feet. I have seen RangerFox has made the cart, perhaps he knows whats going on here.

This is very simple, nearly as simple as "hello world" Create the invisible targetzone and an item. With an item command now check for distance to the target zone with the urwigo element "distance to a zone". You can show a message or (better) change the item description. Use a numeric operation "multiply" with 1 and rounding 0 decimal places. So you get 183 meters and not 183,43645974051537 meters. After each check you increase a variable, which shows the nimber of tries.

Are you well informed in playing with the whereyougo player ? Some people who play the 1st time with it, forget to switch on the gps function in whereyougo (not only on the device/android !). Main menu > Item Location > Button Location ON There is still the possibility that the units are wrong, feet were shown, but in the cartridge the unit is in meter.

99,9% of the owners, who publish their cartridge as open source, have forgotten to copy the Urwigo source (*.urwigo) into the GWZ file. The generated *.lua from Urwigo doesn't work with Urwigo !!!! I have a test cartridge as real open source, have a look at Wherigo Testuite (english) or Wherigo Testsuite (german) and download the GWZ (not the GWC). Unpack all files with an unzipper and load the urwigo file into Urwigo application.

There are 2 ways for showing a countdown, via messageboxes or via item description. But : this doesn't work on all players, especially on buggy iphone player. Have a look to the item "Timertests" at my cartridge Wherigo Testsuite Download the source file (GWZ), the urwigo source is inside.

Thats what I mean. But I think you use the old GC builder...hardcore programming

The input call must be placed IN the "On clicked" event of the message box, NOT after it.

Urwigo, Earwigo, Kit, GS ? You can set the time "on the fly". In your case...if zone is entered, then timer.duration=timer.duration-600. The player enters the zone, before he has 25mins left, then he has 15. But you better make a query before ... if timer.remaining > 900 then timer.duration=timer.duration-600 or much better variable, depending on how minutes are left.

You can place a flag in the function where you call the media file and later in an event (enter an invisible zone or so) you ask for the state of the flag. If true activate the zone.

Do you really need special chars ? I never have needed them. But if it is necessary you could make a jpg pic and place it in a message box or dialog.

Of course, I hope everyone knows the thing about "on Click". To stay compatible with garmin devices none of these event can be used, also not on zones, characters and tasks. The well known workaround with an item command is necessary. I forgot something : It would be still better to use a variable of type number instead boolean, because some versions of the iPhone player sometimes does not restore boolean variables correctly (it restores nil) A counter is possible too, but for me it is more clear, when I have a look on the source, to use Zone1Entered or ZoneRailwaystationEntered instead of ZoneEnter=7. What was 7 ? Look, look look ... ah, the railwaystation.

The variable or flag is normally needed in EVERY zone, IF there a dialog, message or input appears. And I do not know another way to decide whether the player has entered the zone for the 1st oder 2nd time. A bad cartridge always shows the same dialog/message, i.g. "Hello, welcome, I have a little mystery for you ...", even if the player has entered the zone for the 2nd time. I need more dynamic, i.g "Ah, you again, ready for the next try ?". Besides I always give the player the chance to cancel the input. But then it is necessary to move an item "Question" in the players inventory which fires the input again. Because only on very very very bad cartridges (already have seen) a message pops up "Please leave the zone and come back to answer the question again".

Rather the same what RF wrote, here in Urwigo ...

Where do you read "16 meters" ? Accuracy or altitude or distance to zone ? Perhaps you have not turned on the gps function of the app. Turn on GPS at the device (your phone) AND (!) in the app under the icon in main menu "Location", the left button. Then start the game and look to the map. You should see your current location and in most cases the first active zone.

Wherever you want ... c:\123\abc\Wherigo or f:\games\wig or x:\cartridges ... everywhere...ok, not on cdrom Save LUA (as *.LUA not as *.GWC or *.GWZ) file and reopen it from its folder. What kind of error message do you receive ?

Try not to view the site in chrome ? Mmmhh, there are hundred of programmers using urwigo who don't understand czech. Very much more than people who speak czech. At least it would be helpful to implement google translate. The translation is often very funny but better than nothing.

Where to switch to english or german on http://www.urwigo.cz/ ?

There is a (known) way with a "pointzone". You define 3 points with the same coords and can use the on proximity Event (also show objects on proximty). So it seems you have a round zone with 15m radius.
