+Kadhira Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi, I am currently trying to build my first Wherigo using Wherigo \\ kit and so far, it is very easy to set it up. Thank you so much for this! When I try to run the inbuild emulator though, it tells me, that the start coordinates should be somewhere in the pacific ocean. I also tried a different cartridge and a different browser (firefox and safari), which gave the same behaviour. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug? Best wishes Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 As you may have noticed, Kit doesn't give you the option to define the cartridge's starting coordinates. Instead, Kit uses the first zone as the cartridge's start. I'd wonder if Webwigo, the emulator, was having difficulty interpreting these coordinates. Since I'm at work at the moment, I cannot check to see if anything might be happening on Kit's end. (I just hope your first zone isn't over the ocean as well. Then again, I don't think I've ever heard of a diving cartridge, possibly one exploring an underwater wreck. But I think you'd have a difficult time maintaining a GPS lock under several hundred meters of water...) Quote Link to comment
+Kadhira Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hi, no the start coordinates are certainly not in the pacific ocean. I would very much appreciate, if you could have a look. Quote Link to comment
+gjhimages Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I am making another Wherigo via Wherigo\\kit. I noticed that this time that the interface does not allow line spacing or another paragraph. This is different then when I built my last Wherigo in 2019. As you can se in the attached images, that Line Spacing/New Paragraph is not recognized on the iPhone playing GWC file. In the past I was able to make another paragraph/line spacing by using this method: Return Key - Space Bar - Return Key. The Wherigo\\kit and testing in the Emulator all show the Line spacing, but the iPhone when played show what appears to be the sentences all run together with no line spacing. Has something change in the software interface and how can I show different paragraphs in each screen? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+gjhimages Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I just uploaded the cartridge to Wherigo.com and Wherigo interface places the line breaks/paragraphs correctly. So once the file is uploaded to Wherigo line spacing is correct. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+mc3cats Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Ranger Fox, I greatly appreciate everything you have done for the Wherigo community. By putting together the Wherigo Kit platform, you have introduced Wherigo cartridge building to the masses, something that the other builder platforms have been able to do. Back in 2015 someone had asked about adding items and characters to the Wherigo Kit platform. You responded that by adding this addictional option to the kit that it would essentially change the essence of the builder program making it much more complicated than what it was intended to be. My question is IF one wanted to up their cartridge building game and step up to a different platform that is a bit more intricate and had the options of characters and items, but not a "programer's builder platform", which of the other builder platforms would you recommend? From what I can tell, Earwigo would be the logical next step up from Wherigo Kit. Urwigo looking more like a programers platform. Would you agree that the Earwigo platform is logical next step up from the kit platform? Thank you! Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Good question. Both Earwigo and Urwigo do take some getting used to. When I was new to Urwigo, I had to get used to clicking on the object (such as zone) and seeing its properties in a different spot and then how to work with its flowchart-like interface. Earwigo, once you get access, has its menu across the top and the logic flow looks closer to Groundspeak's builder. I did think about further expanding Kit, but for the past two years, I've been putting in a lot of unpaid overtime at my job. Perhaps, later, I might get back to doing something with Wherigo. That depends on Groundspeak's actively supporting the community. Quote Link to comment
+gjhimages Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I have noticed on 09/29/2020 at approximate 13:00 that my Wherigo built in Wherigo//Kit is having a system error. I even tried coping the Wherigo and it also gives an error. I then took an older version of the cartridge and was updating that Wherigo, when it also gave a system error. I had the cartridge almost completed and ready to upload to Wherigo.com. Is the server down or having issues? gjhimages <Cartridge xmlns=''> was not expected.

+Gabrielol Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hello. I was hoping someone here could answer my question. I am attempting to build a "play anywhere" cartridge in Wherigo kit and I was wondering if that was even possible. And, if so, is there already a template or starter cartridge for me to build off? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I didn't add functionality for Play Anywhere cartridges in Kit because of what Play Anywhere cartridges are. You see, being playable anywhere, they're less tied to a map location and more to certain dimensions, such as a football field. Had I created a Kit that would translate an entire game to the player's current position, chances are, given the map-based approach in Kit, people would create Play Anywhere cartridges tied to certain map features. This would then become a problem when the entire cartridge is uprooted and placed elsewhere. It's just too easy for people to create a poor experience. In addition, all I have in Kit are questions and messages. That's hardly ideal for a Play Anywhere cartridge experience. Sure, the cartridge could just ask questions, but that's a little boring--not to mention the province of a mystery cache. Quote Link to comment
+Washa Rednecks Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi there, please Wherigo\\kit is down permanentky or is there any maintenance. As the message is from 19th of December. Thank you very much for answer in advance. Quote Link to comment

+Mostly Moose Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hello, I've been a big fan of Wherigo Kit for several years and own several geocaches based on this user-friendly tool. Thank you for creating it. But lately, I have not been able to make updates. When I make changes and try to upload the update to Wherigo.com, I get the error message quoted below, and the cartridge does not update. What could I be doing wrong? The passsword I'm using is certainly correct. The cache I'd like to update is https://coord.info/GC67X8N. Thanks in advance for you thoughts and/or guidance. Best wishes Morten (Mostly Moose) Oslo, Norway This is the message I get: Error<br><br>Was your password correct?

Ranger Fox Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I guess the reply to this never got posted. Just download the GWZ from the site and post it manually to the Wherigo.com site. The automatic posting thing is a little old. When I'm not working evenings or nights at my job, I'll look into this. Quote Link to comment
+haselth1 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Thanks for the tips above it helps a bit, but did not solve my trouble completely. I have following issue: I have an existing Wherigo which I created with Wherigo kit and was running fine 2 years. But now there is a big construction site and I need to update, so people can finalise it. I updated the cartridge in Wherigo-kit (added the final coordinates in an earlier station/location), gave it a slightly new name to distinguish and updated also the first page/start page to be able to verify. I created a gwz file as described above (after saving and building before of course) and uploaded this to the existing Wherigo on Wherigo.com. It was successfully added there, which I can see in the release notes, however if I try it in the Wherigo-app to download the new cartridge and start playing, it still shows the info from the old cartridge. Can somebody please help me, how to update the cartridge and replace the old, so people can play it again? Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This is your cartridge's listing: https://www.Wherigo.com/cartridge/versionhistory.aspx?CGUID=3539e319-a317-4a22-8242-52e56c998b1b I looked at your cartridge on Kit and downloaded the current version of your cartridge from Wherigo.com. You give two sets of coordinates at the last zone, Station 15. These coordinates are the same between Kit and the current cartridge people can download. The message looks the same as well. I'm assuming this is one of the things you updated. If the above is correct and you did update that message, we need to look at other reasons. First, regardless of the name and description you use in Kit, Wherigo.com will overwrite that with the name and description you are using on Wherigo.com. This might be part of the source of your confusion. I'd also suggest deleting the cartridge from your app and try downloading again. Perhaps the app didn't overwrite the cached version or perhaps (if you're using Android) you saved the cartridge to a folder that the player app isn't looking at, then when you loaded the app, it loaded the old version from this other folder somewhere.
