delta123

I am asked to give a Wherigo workshop in the Netherlands. Has anyone given one before and has a presentation i can use?

Connect to the garmin website with the webupdater for the latest firmware. But dont expact much improvement

Yesterday my translated Whack a lacky cartridge was published in the Netherlands. Here it is called REN JE ROT. It was launched at the geocoinrace event. A little movieclip is found . You can find the cachelisting trough my profile. Thankyou RF for giving the dutchies the opportunity to try this out.

Faul play Delta 123???? I am watching you!!! O, I am sorry Delta123, I was just kidding you. Thanks Sivota, i dont want to cheat the competition, i know i lost this year, perhaps i make more chanche next year with a better design. it is a possible winner

Could someone from Groundpeak pleeease,pleeease,pleease give us ALL some info on the future of this Wherigo-project?

Groundspeak is working on a new java based Wherigo player for mobile devices. I think that's why the development of the builder is temperorly stopped. I agree they do not commincate very well about the development of Wherigo.

There is a possibility to download a cartridge from the Wherigo website specially for the nuvi 500.

The zones are visible to you but not for others who downloaded the cartridge if the zone is set to invisble/inactive

Thanks KD and RF, after you are 100% sure i will try it out.

Thanks. Fun and interesting!

I do want to change the title if that is ok. whack a lacky does not make any sense in dutch. Nobody knows what a lacky is. Instead of whacking the emphasis is on the running. Ofcourse you(RF) get all the credits for designing this game. It will be mentioned all over the cartridge. I will send you a concept before publishing but that is still miles away. I still have to finetune the images. And then translating all the info and text. All the way making backups so i dont have to start at the beginning every time i make a mistake. i have searched the file for the cartridge name. I found this: cartWhackALackey.Id="5beb6dbb-1d03-4d6a-890e-8f727aa3073f" cartWhackALackey.Name="Whack-A-Lackey" cartWhackALackey.Description=[[Images of Groundspeak personnel: Copyright 2008.

I managed to change all three sets of media's (and got it still working) Can i change the title and version and coordinates also in notepad? In the original, when do you get the coordinate for the cache?

That's just right sTeamTraen. Are you Dutch?

I am going to try to translate this to dutch language. the muggles will be no problem(we have them over here as well). the mods and lacky's will be changed to geocoins and (well)known cachers. Most time will take the images. Ranger Fox: if i change the text in a editer, will i encounter problems chanching the text from english to dutch?

Something like this? Entering another zone makes the timer stop. But it could also be another action perhaps? Timers_Test.zip

i think a log in the cache-logbook is sufficient to log the geocache. For most cachers that is the most important thing(signing the logbook) they do not want to log twice. many things can go wrong with completing the cartridge like forgetting to save the game after finding the cache or forgetting to write down the unlockcode.

Are you going to make a series of regional (provinces) coins of the Netherlands?

I think you should get a new reviewer Can you move your starting location?

First set zoneInner active when you start the cartridge(remove the code when you enter zoneOuter) then deactivating zoneInner after looking in the mirror will solve this but i dont know why the problem occurs. perhaps a zone in a zone causus some strange behaviour?

If zonefarAway disappaers when you enter ZoneInner you should check all codes regarding zoneFarAway. ZoneFarAway should only be set inactive/invisble when you start the cartridge.

Any news of a update?

That is indeed a big list of coins for such a small country! My personal Dutch coin is still available if interested send a PM

If you are playing someone else's cartidge you will only see a zone if it is active and visible and you are inside the parameters to see the zone. As a developer you see all your zones as shades. If this is not the case please correct me.

#1 there is a tread in this forum about this subject. You can find it here. #2 You can set the zones to not active. If a zone is not active, this will not happen. Set it to active when you want it to be active.

You need some waypoints to make the zones in the builder. You set all but the first zone to invisble. Then you make a event when the player enters the first zone. You create a messagebox with info for the player and make the next zone visible. And so on. You can also create a caracter that appears in a zone and tell some info to the player to make it interactive. You can do lots more but you have to start in the builder and make the basic cartridge. Don't hesitate to ask more, i am sure others will be helped also. For specific questions on how to make a zone etc you can first look in the tutorial on the Wherigo website. It is very well explained there, better than i can
