+fingers crossed Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I got it to work this way .. but I would like to ask more questions in the same field .. how this is done most easily You could use your counter variable. Eg: If Counter=1 then Ask Question 1 and compare answer 1. If Counter = 2.... So it's just a bunch of 'If/Else' statements. FC Quote Link to comment
+A Team Vallejo Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hey I was wondering if any one knows about the completion codes. If I upload a new GWZ file does it change each time? I changed some things and up loaded a new file and now people are saying there code wont work Quote Link to comment
+g.Athena Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 My first cartridge, built with Wherigo Builder, blew up (another forum topic) a few hours ago . I can't even open it. So I down loaded URWIGO, and started re-doing the cartridge. This is sooo much easier than the builder. The first thing I tried, was to bring the old cartridge into URWIGO, but that failed. Import error, I think. I would like to retrieve some text, however (the story and the logic). Is it possible to open the old cartridge so I can see the script (and maybe crib some of the text?)

pictom Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Ok, new here. I downloaded URWIGO Builder. I set up all my zones. I realize this is just the very beginning. I am now creating media (images) and will probably make them 230 x 180 pixels. Does anyone have any input on that? Is there any kind of a tutorial? If not, should I look at the Wherigo tutorial and follow the order but figure out how to do it with URWIGO? I have questions as I go along and have not even got into the programing yet. What's the difference between Media Images and Icons? If I create a 230 x 180 image, do I still need to create icons? OK, I set up my zones and now I wish to have text automatically displayed when a person enters the zone. How do I do this? I've dragged and clicked and copied and pasted and nothing looks right. When I click on the green message in the command dialog, there is no text displayed on the right under the properties. I also don't know what half this stuff means. What is "Skip cancel"? Where's the simplified tutorial? Edited April 27, 2010 by pictom Quote Link to comment
matejcik Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 When I click on the green message in the command dialog, there is no text displayed on the right under the properties.you have to click on the empty quotes in the green box. then the properties will show an empty text box and you will fill your message in that.I also don't know what half this stuff means. What is "Skip cancel"?means "when the messagebox is unexpectedly cancelled, do not perform the callback action". you don't need to concern yourself with this now. Quote Link to comment
pictom Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) ]you have to click on the empty quotes in the green box. then the properties will show an empty text box and you will fill your message in that. Cool, I thought I clicked everywhere but maybe I did not. Ok, I found the box and clicked. Works great. Now I have a box asking for an action when the message is clicked. (On Clicked). I don't wish for any action to occur until the person walks to the next zone. Can I leave this blank? Is it advisable to go to the Wherigo Tutorial and try to emulate the actions on Urwigo? Is there a limited amount of text I should use? Let's say I have the following message. Should I create one message or break it into two different messages? "The two glassed-in areas contain the art. On one side is the metal water wheel with Mason jars mounted on it. At half-hour intervals, rainwater stored in the roof of the little building flows through a system of tubes and into the jars, causing the wheel to turn which activates the art in the other glass enclosure: an electromagnet in the copper disk which pick up metal filings to form the hour of the day. Fill in the blank of the name of this art: The _________ of Fluid Moment(nm)." Ut Oh, I just realized there is a "message" and a "dialog" command. What's the difference in the two? (I keep editing this post as I work and have new questions, once I get a reply, I'll start a new thread) -- New issue. I just went to each zone I have and went to COMMANDS and NEW ITEM and added what I think is a message for entering the zone. Now I have just discovered if I scroll down the screen some more, an "ON ENTER" Event. IS this where I was supposed to be entering the text I want displayed upon entering a zone? Still looking for some sort of tutorial for the beginner. This thread looks like its for the more advanced user. I am done for the day. Don't want to keep doing work I have to undo and then redo.

+SCPO Rich Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 OK, I've got most of this figured out, but I can't seem to get a command that is attached to an object to do anything when clicked. In the old builder, events showed up in the item that it was attached to, like if you had a command "Talk" attached to character "Gorilla", you would see event "When Talk Occurs". In URWIGO, I don't see anything like that. I have put code in the Enabled event of the command, but it does not seem to fire. What am I missing here? Quote Link to comment

Try this...... some cartridges are open and you can download the .LUA file search for some of them download them and upload them into urwigo and look at how they are made. the hardest part about this whole thing is having to learn all the commands and functions. when you change something run it and see what happens. Start simple 1 or 2 zones and build from there. you can make it hard or simple the more zones the more complicated it gets. but it gets a whole lot easier as you go the Wherigo web site is down or I would show you a couple look for some by j2b2 they have a bunch that you can look at.

+Rebel Alliance Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Ok, so I have a 20+ zone cart, it runs well. But I want to ensure that the people using it haven't been on a 2 hour walk only for it to die on them, and not be retrievable. To counter this, I have tried adding a save command in the 'on exit' event of each zone. This crashes the emulator even on the first zone due to a buffer over run. But when I try the same action on my 6 zone test cart it works fine on the emulator and in reality. Has anyone else experienced problems with the save command? I building the cart specifically for the PPC audience. Thanks Mick Edited May 17, 2010 by Rebel Alliance Quote Link to comment

I want to see the immage in full width and scroll it down to see it all. Is this possible in Urwigo? In de official builder of Groundspeak it was possible to choose for it: automaticly fit or not > 'no risize'. Edited May 20, 2010 by Geinponem Quote Link to comment

I reseized the images in the end as it was causing resource issues. See the attachements for the results of two different images on a Oregon 450. One image is 230 pixels width and 310 pixels high. The other has the same width and is 460 pixels high. As you can see if I use both images in a dialog screen: they haven't the same width. Using the images as an Inventory item: the first image is a little wider. The larger image is a lot smaller. It fits in the screen and you can't scroll it anymore!

+cache4pat Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thank you all, for a very rewarding morning's reading of your great posts. I have been exploring the Wherigo concept for the first time, and my initial reseach had left me with the wrong impression that Wherigo died in 2008; except for the OpenWIG work by the cell phone guys. I have to thank 'matejcik' for a Feb 28/10 Groundspeak post that helped direct me here. After having explored the original BUILDER and its tutorials; yourself's URWIGO resource is very refreshingly impressive - THANK YOU; . And I am encouraged by all the posters here who have rallied to the cause to keep Wherigo alive. I had wondered where you were all hanging out. I'm putting down my limited commitment Netbook PCC-emulator tethered 76CSx; and digging-in to get more seriously involved. You have created one more convert. After a bit more field experience, as a 'finder' with my new Oregon 450; I plan to join the coding fun to build-on the very limited presence of Wherigo in my area!!! KW has got to be able to do better than 1. Thx again for nurturing a great resource for outdoor virtual mindscapes. Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I had wondered where you were all hanging out. Welcome to the party! It's our little corner of the cafe that is part, at the moment, of the greater geocaching universe. Now, if we can only get it like "Cheers", sans the drama. I plan to join the coding fun to build-on the very limited presence of Wherigo in my area!!!I'm sure those who have built a cartridge in your area will relish being able to play a cartridge they haven't made. Believe me, it's a very important part of the creative process. Thx again for nurturing a great resource for outdoor virtual mindscapes.It's close enough to augmented reality, that's for sure. Feel free to whip up a tornado of a question and see how we deal with it. I think I'll leave it there before I get too silly with that allusion. Quote Link to comment
+Geinponem Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I made a simple Wherigo with Urwigo. If I generate a gwz-file with Urwigo I get a lua-file with the name '_cartridge.lua' in the zipped map. Unfortunately I can't open this file in de official Groundspeak Wherigo builder. Even as I change the extension in .urwigo > I can't open it in the Urwigo builder. Is there a way to generate an gwz-file with a good working .lua-file? Quote Link to comment
matejcik Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 the lua file is good-working, you're just using it wrong. note three things: 1. Lua is program code, not a save format. Groundspeak Builder writes Lua code in a very specific way so that it can read it later. But that is not the "only proper way" to write Lua - Urwigo uses extended functions and doesn't keep Builder's way. (After all, sometimes even Builder breaks its own way of writing.) Nevertheless, the Lua file can be compiled by Wherigo.com just fine. It is a proper Lua file, just "not good enough" for Builder. 2. Because of that, URWIGO uses its own *save format* called .urwigo. If you save your cartridge as .urwigo, you can open it in URWIGO later without problems. 3. Because URWIGO allows you to do more than Builder, you cannot export cartridges from URWIGO back to Builder, because Builder wouldn't understand them anyway. the moral of the story is: if you don't need to change the .lua file, do not touch it. And if you don't need the GS Builder, don't touch it either Quote Link to comment

So if you download the source file of a (with Urwigo build) cartridge from www.Wherigo.com you have to be a lua-programmer to do something with it. Because you can't open the cartridge in de Urwigo builder (?) Quote Link to comment
matejcik Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 correct. (the other way should be possible - i am not sure, but i think that you can import Builder-generated .lua in Urwigo) i wonder if we could pack the .urwigo file into the gwz. somebody care to try? that would be a nice feature Quote Link to comment

Ranger Fox Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I imported one of my cartridges into Urwigo and used it to create a GWZ. I made the GWZ into a zip file, added the .urwigo file, renamed it GWZ, and uploaded it as a new version on the site. I then enabled Creative Commons and downloaded the source. The .urwigo file was still there and I was able to double-click it to launch Urwigo and the cartridge. Looks like you can pack the .urwigo file with the GWZ. Quote Link to comment
matejcik Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 that's good news. another question is whether the .urwigo is included in a compiled GWC, which would be bad. can you check that? (hint: open gwc in a text editor and look for a blob of xml tags) Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like you can pack the .urwigo file with the GWZ. You can put anything you like in there. Just make sure there's only one file with a .Lua extension, or very bad things happen. Quote Link to comment

+Danatisy Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I have created a file that works .. but I do not know how I can get the unlock code until the user .. there are some who knows how .. ? You have to drag CompletitionCode from Objects and properties/Player. See the attachments. I have made a script just alike the one suggested, but when I play the Cartridge, it returns the word "Builder" just before the unlock code. Can anyone give me a hint on how to get rid of this word?

+me2d09 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Danatisy: this is normal behaviour if you play cartridge compiled in your machine. If you upload cartridge to Wherigo.com, there will be correct completion code instead of "builder". Quote Link to comment
