    Making a Wherigo

    in Wherigo

    Posted

    Another problem I am having is that when I try to compile the cartridge it gives me this message:

     

    Oops!

     

    The compilation Web service at Wherigo.com returned an error:

    soap:Server

    Server was unable to process request. ---> Could not find file 'E:\webtempfiles\e55fa4f7-29fe-4bfe-9710-c117e4e9b423'.

     

    What do I do?

    Sorry, but did you send me the cartridge or will your link work? I can work on it Tuesday morning.

     

    I finally climbed out of the depths of Wherigo on Monday and made a cartridge (a real one, not one for testing). It's part of my Signature Tribute series, which means it's for someone, took a lot of time, involved props, and was expensive to create.

    I think both could work, I don't know if the link is exactly right, I would like to put it on whereto.com, not active though, so I can test in the real world. i can share it to you via email if the other links don't work

    I can check it out later this evening. The key is supposed to be in the player's inventory. If you allow the key to be used with the character, however, it would make sense the key's command shows up with the character (that way the player can select to use the item with the character). I would first look to see if you have some sort of OnClick event with the item.

     

    When/if you send me the file, please make sure to package it as a GWZ so I have all the graphics as well.

    I couldnt send you an email from my account so I will just link it to here. I will delete it from the forum so people dont get my Wherigo,so respond when you have a copy and I can delete it. i solved the problem with key being in characters but when I click on the characters it still does the same thing, the characters are Barry the Pelican and Roger Rattlesnake. When emulating the cartridge remember to look around at all characters and items to see if there are commands.

    Respond if you know how to fix it or have any ideas to make it better.

    In that case, limit the number of characters in the text boxes, remove odd characters like braces, and remove HTML.

     

    The only thing stopping me from creating and distributing a Greasemonkey script to fix that page is that I don't know how many people have Greasemonkey installed.

     

     

    Thanks for helping me there.

    I have another problem now.

    In my new cartridge I have a key item. The item is transferred, after catching a thief, to the player.

    There are two zones after that. In the next zone you need to answer a characters question. The character box shows that the key item is in the characters and when you click on that box no character icons come up and the emulator kind of freezes up not allowing you to go back so you have to restart. Also in the perious zone when you acquire the key if you click on the items it does the same thing. What is going on.

    This is happening on the webwigo emulator with the cartridge I created on earwigo.

    Any ideas.

    I can send you the cartridge file if you want to see it.

    never mind I figured that out but now I want to pick up an item at one zone and then at the next zone use it to "scan" to get the next question and i can't get it to work

    You have to check the box to show your cartridge in the directory. Otherwise, it won't be active. Or are you referring to Wherigo.com throwing an error when you try to save the cartridge's details?

    yes i am referring to Wherigo.com throwing an error when I try to save cartridge details

    Welcome to Wherigo. Your iPhone will be able to play cartridges, but not your eTrex.

     

    For building cartridges on a Mac, you can use either Wherigo\\kit or Earwigo as both are web-based cartridge builders. For testing you can use the Webwigo emulator. The links to these are in my signature line.

     

    To start with, you'll need an idea. Don't start building a cartridge without thinking your idea out fully or you'll have to rework a lot of things if your idea changes. Visualize playing your cartridge before you start making it.

     

    Once you have an idea, you can choose a builder. For beginners, I recommend my Kit builder because it has an extremely low learning curve as it only lets you build certain types of basic cartridges. If you can right-click on a map, you can build a cartridge with Kit, so have confidence. Kit also uses the Webwigo emulator so you can see what your cartridge looks like as you're building it. Eventually, you'll want to create more complex cartridges, which is when you'll graduate from Kit to a full-featured builder (Earwigo, in your case) and tackle the learning curve.

     

    Also, you'll need to know the difference between a GWZ and GWC file. A GWZ is a zip file that contains the cartridge script (it's readable in a text editor) and all images in your cartridge. A GWC is a compiled cartridge, playable in a Wherigo player app. Just think of the last letter, zip and cartridge, to keep them straight.

     

    When you need help, please feel free to ask in the forum. There are several people here that like to help out, including myself. It's a nice place to be!

     

    thanks

    Can someone help me.

    I can't figure out how to make a Wherigo. I want to add some Wherigo caches to my area to make more diverse but I dont know where to start and where to go from there. I have a mac a Garmin eTrex 20 and an iPhone so everything has to be compatible with that.

    Please Help

    Magellan Gc vs Garmin E-trex 20

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Recently my Magellan Explorist GC broke and started to not work, now I want to know if the Garmin E-trex, 20 which I saw at an REI, it looked like if it had all the bells and whistles, would be better. I want to know if when you load a cache to the Etrex it has the description and recent logs and stuff like that. If anybody out there has any info on the GPS it would really help.

    I have my tbs together in photo contest, the person who posts the best picture of the tbs will win a cache in honor of them

     

    That's a cool twist. Do you have any certain criteria you're looking for in the photos? What sort of TB, i.e. will it be personalized in any way? How long to do you let the contest go?

     

     

     

    In my photos my 2 race cars ( wich are the tbs) must be the star, and the contest goes on about 10 months
