Are you still looking into hosting this event? Yes. On the 25th of January. Here is the event. I will find that out for you as soon as possible! J2B2

Are you still looking into hosting this event?

A .gwz is just a regular .zip file that contains your lua file and any associated media. You don't need to compile anything; the website will do that for you when the cart is downloaded. Just zip up your cartridge contents and upload them. (If you don't have a compression utility on your computer, 7-Zip or WinRAR both work well) To get a .gwz file, all you have to do is rename the .zip file extension. But you can save yourself a step and just upload the .zip file, since the website will accept either. Hope this helps

Yes, but only if they have the URL. Otherwise, an inactive cartridge is effectively invisible on the site, since even if someone searches for it, they won't be able to see it. Checking "Cartridge is active" will make it show up in search results. For example, it'll be in the results list when you search by username or starting location (if set). If you check "Make this cartridge available in the directory," the cart will appear in the "Browse all cartridges" list. Hope this helps.

The Wherigo Dev team are working very hard to figure out the exact direction Wherigo should take as well as improving features that are lacking in the current version that exists today. Please! Stay tuned, for the next update will be very exciting. J2B2

Two things: 1. Can you give me a link to your cartridge? (open source it so I can download your source file. How you do this: Your cartridge details page > Creative Commons Setting > Under download setting, check the box for make the GWZ downloadable). 2. Can you attach your lua file here? Thanks! J2B2

Did that end up being the problem? Were you able to upload?

I am bumping the thread as I just had someone with an "HTC TyTyn II (Kaiser / Stellar XDA etc)" playing my Wherigo and he ran into the same issue. That PPC should be sufficiently fast? So am coming back to the question - is there anything I can do in my cartridge to improve things? J2B2, when you said you tried my cartridge - did you mean the one that I linked to? Or the one I wrote. Cheers Roolku I tried the one that was linked, on the emulator.

I recommend zipping all the assets and uploading on this page. http://www.Wherigo.com/cartridge/upload.aspx Let me know if this creates an error as well! J2B2

Does anyone know if they was fixed in 2.7? We just checked and it has not been fixed. Thanks! J2B2

Hi! The thread below is a good discussion on this topic. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...hl=active+zones Good luck! J2B2

I played your cartridge on the emulator, and it seems as though it is your device that might be problematic. I was informed that Mitac Mio 168 tends to be a bit slower than other devices. Best of luck with your cartridge building! J2B2

Hello! On older pocket pc's in the early stages of Wherigo, we had some lag in updating the User Interface from location. On all machines with GPS there can be a lag in the gps signal which results in a lack of a location. The net result of this is that the zone list may not appear to update for a while. Hope this answered your question!

Hello! The cartridge file should have English characters. so, the lat/lon's for example should have "." in the lua file. the builder then can support language settings. Goodluck! J2B2

That's correct. The first level is supposed to be very step by step, but beyond that (this means 2 and 3) - it's chapter based. Level 2 and 3 are supposed to show you how to create a particular event. We decided to do this, because the tutorial will be very repetitive and unnecessarily long if we add every single action. Once you understand the basics (which is level 1), you will hopefully apply them and learn higher concepts. =) J2B2

That is a bug and has been logged to our system. Thank you very much! J2B2

Thanks StaticTank, this bug has been reported. Sorry about the delayed followup. In the meantime, concatenating a variable with a text string that includes commas works fine in message boxes, so using a messagebox might be the simplest workaround. J2B2

That line of code forces an update to the player's lat/lon (position) if there is one. This is so that if there's a lag in gps processing, the location will update with this function call. If the gps is on and there is a good signal, this isn't needed. Thanks!

Zones: 180 x 230 px Object details: 250 x 230 px Message Boxes: 230 x 230 px Tasks: 230 x 230 px These are the img sizes that J2B2 goes by when creating cartridges for the Garmin devices. 240 wide sounds about right. J2B2

Commas should definitely not cause a dialog box to break. Would you mind uploading the lua file so someone can take a look at the code?

Interesting -- it seems you've found a bug on the website. The "request source" link should lead to a contact form of some kind, not this page. We'd also meant to remove that link entirely. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for catching this.

It was a concept we were exploring for awhile, but we decided to discontinue it (issues with maintaining the travel bugs, etc). Thank you so much for your support, Touchstone! J2B2

Attached file a screenshot of the emulator, showing how the icons are used in the player. The Colorado devices, unfortunately, don't use the icon files. Is there a certain image size that is recommended for icons to be used? 32X32!

You mean downloading the source file, right? Unfortunately, MoBot source code cannot be edited and saved in the builder. This is why you cannot download the source file. Thanks! J2B2
