+ThePacman Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I struggled with some of the other builders, but managed to build a 16-zone Wherigo with URWIGO quite easily. It is a simple 2km tour of the attractions along our waterfront, with GZ co-ords given at the end. But if I stop along the walk and save (eg. at zone12), and then load/resume the cartridge from the same point where I was, the cartridge reloads without errors but I have to start from zone 1 again. Quite tedious. Anyone know how I can get a "Resume" cartridge to load from where I stopped? I'm presuming it's not the Android Wherigo app, but rather the way I've compiled my URWIGO that is not saving the restore point when I "quit and save" during the walk/tour. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
+ratwaffles Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 All apostrophe and quote signs in my wigo are showing up as ?s. I would think that these are in all standards fonts. If I put the / escape character in front of it, it shows the quotation just fine but then the backslash is there too - it goes from --don?t-- to --don/'t-- . What's the trick to having just ' or " without them being converted to question marks? Quote Link to comment

Were you copying from MS Word or something that changed the apostrophes and quotes to something that looked similar?

+shopkprbass Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I've run into a new problem. I had to restore my computer with a backup I had done before I installed the Urwigo program. Now when I went to reinstall it, using the old link from the forum, I get a 404 page error when I select download and install. I tried going directly to the installation using the installer file for Urwigo I did have a backup of. It connects and downloads the program, which appears to be a newer version from the splash startup screen, but it fails during the install. I'm running XP Pro on this machine. The old version is working fine on my other XP machine. Apparently there has been an update on the program, but it fails to install, at least in XP. Is there any way of getting the earlier version, or has anyone else also encountered this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+shopkprbass Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Please forget the previous posting, folks. YourSelf has made some corrections in the updated version, and now it installs fine. Great job on this Urwigo program! Sure has made creating Wherigo's a much more fun job! Quote Link to comment
+jolla Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 When testing the cartridge in the urwigo builder emulator I don't see the list of tasks. If I move the cartridge to my phone they show fine. Anyone have any idea how to make them visible in the emulator. I suppose they are there but not visible and I can't scroll down. Quote Link to comment

+JeffJamieNathan Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi, I would like to introduce Urwigo - an alternative to official Wherigo Builder. It is not trying to be a competition for Earwigo, which I am sure is great, it was created solely from my frustration with Builder. I believe it will be useful for the Wherigo/Geocaching community. Urwigo can import cartridges created in Whergo Builder, it has a different take on building the cartridge code, it has a few more functions and most importantly it should be more reliable and stable. In addition to Wherigo builder Urwigo allows: - create, edit, view all zones on google maps - random numbers generation - obfuscating and encrypting answers - showing errors in your cartridge - syntax highlighting in user LUA functions - automatic shortening of unlock code - run cartridge in emulator with only one button (F5) - many more... It can be downloaded and installed from Download & Install URWIGO - bottom of the page. Tried to download the Urwigo from site, no luck, page not there. Any help would be great. I want to try my hand at a Wherigo type cache. They say this is the best program to use for the Wherigo. Quote Link to comment

+A Team Vallejo Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So has any one else had problems with Where you go app for the droid? it is acting strange ever since they updated it. yesterday i played a cart and it started asking me questions before I entered the zones. once that happened I couldnt find the zone because it wouldnt let me go back. It has also messed up playanywhere carts; zones come up hundreds of feet from where they should be. Ranger Fox where is the new app? How soon? How Long? Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ranger Fox where is the new app? How soon? How Long? This is the thread for the new app. While the new app is worthwhile on its own, the biggest draw will be its connection to the Wherigo API. The app is waiting on the API, which is tied to the site, which in turn is caught up in Groundspeak because they're looking into a way to make all this official. I honestly don't know how long this will take. It would be a shorter amount of time if I had someone with a legal background to assist. Quote Link to comment

I dont need the file and it (they) seem to open when I'm importing media files so I end up with two, one name and one with the correct file and title. Dont know if this thread is still active but if it is can some kind urwigo user give me s clue as to how to create these cartridges, at the moment I'm groping in the dark and think that I will become discouraged if I dont get help soon.

+charlenni Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't know, if I understand you correct, but I try to answer this question. To delete a media of this list of medias, open the list (double click on the left side on "Media"). Than you see the list of medias. Remember, that in Wherigo a media could hold one or more real files. So, a media is not the real file. Ok, knowing this, you could select the media, which don't have a file (resource). If it is selected, you could delete it by selecting in the line abouve the list the entry with the text "Delete" behind the red x. You could although use the delete key of your keyboard when the media is selected. With this, the media vanish from the list. I hope, this is the answer you expected. Quote Link to comment

Ah first thank you for replying, yes I understand the concept behind the media, I have a list of 'media' with several 'name' media with no resourses but when I highlight them and either press delete or go to edit delete, nothing happens ive tried right clicking etc but for the life of me cant get it to delete Quote Link to comment

+charlenni Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Like I said, I'm not a native speaker, so it is a little bit tricky for me. I think, you want to show a new zone that isn't visible until than. If this is correct, you have to set the Active and Display values to true. If the zone is active = true, the events of the zone (OnEnter, OnExit) are fired. If the zone is displayed, the user could see it in the location list of his/her player. So you need two set command: one for activating the zone and one for displaying the zone. Quote Link to comment

+charlenni Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 If you set Active and Display, the user has to go to the next zone. You couldn't do this for him. When the user arrives at the zone, you get an OnEnter event. There you should do things, when the user arrives. But you wouldn't find a GOTO function. Wherigo is an event driven game. Your program reacts on things, which happen outside your program (user press a button, user enters a zone, user selects a command). So you couldn't do a one function program. You have to create functions for all events, which you want to handle. If you want, that there something happens, when the user enters a zone, than do it in the OnEnter event of this zone. If you want an input from the user and react on this, than do it OnGetInput. If you want, that the user go to the next zone, you should present it to him/her and ask politely to go there Quote Link to comment
+Hen & Jen Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Yes but if you right click on my image (in the last post) then you will see what i mean heres an image of the set /dialog that i have so far, Maybe to clarify what i want to do, i want to direct the player to the next zone, i.e. the player has answered the questions put to him so now he qualifies to go to the next zone but how do i tell him where to go.

You could inform the user in the text, that there is a new zone and that he could find it in the Location section of the player. S/he could than navigate on the player to this list and follow the directions to the zone. Quote Link to comment

Is there a way to not display the new zone until the player has spoken and receive info that there is a new zone. The idea is that the player speaks to a sentry and he tells them they have to go to the new zone to get the password info, but until he tells them that i don't want them to know there is a new zone.

When you display the Message, you could place the commands to Activate and Display the zone in the "On clicked" event of this Message. Press the small triangle left of the text "On clicked" and put the commands beneth of the text. This commands are only executed, when the user press the Ok button of the Message.

+Forest-Ghost Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I am working on building my first Wherigo using Urwigo. Are there any known errors with the emulator not displaying "tasks" in the menu bar? I have added a task to my cartridge and it will not display when I run the emulator. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, service pack 1. Also are there any other tutorials or resources besides the youtube video for designing these? I don't know very much about putting together cartridges. In the past I have used the Wherigo kit builder but would now like to design something a little more complex. Quote Link to comment

Okay, well it looks like it is a problem with my display settings and not Urwigo. I downloaded the cartridge to my smart phone and the task displayed fine. I think the problem may be with my operating system and or display settings. I am using windows 7 in 64bit mode. If there is any fix for this please let me know. Btw, I also added the set display flag too but unfortunately it did not add it to the emulator view. Thanks again. Edited July 11, 2014 by Forest-Ghost Quote Link to comment
