Might be great, but the home page asks you to log in, with no way of creating an account, and zero other text for guidance. A google found this page in the Wiki. Is it worth the effort?
I'm still waiting after sending an email 12 months ago.

I remember reading somewhere he grants access in batches once you have sent him an email or PM or similar....

I shot a PM off to them yesterday, via the GC.com profile, and they came back to me today. Think you've been missed Matt. Have another crack at it.



Of course it might be deliberate. :shock: We all know what a trouble maker you are! :twisted:

For those that work better if they can reverse engineer something give this a try, find an open source cartridge by searching the wherigo site,
Open Source Search

or open this sample cartridge taken from our Walking The Dogs cache.

Walking the dogs sample

You are downloading a .zip file. You should be able to extract this and then import the cartridge with Urwigo. All care has been taken to ensure the file is virus free but it is your responsibility to ensure that you check it before installing on your computer.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: File Change

No email here at work, I'll have a look tonight for you. It may be to do with the encryption settings on the cartridge.

Tried all sorts of things but eventually just zipped up the files and saved them.

I don't think you can change a Urwigo cartridge to a zip and retain functionality.

Give the link above a go again.

It might make building the cartridge a bit easier. You can also do an advanced search doe open source cartridges.
I am struggling a tad too, seems like a little too much for me, care to enlighten me?

Ok, I really really want to make a Wherigo but am struggling severely!!

Every time I get the inspiration, I start the builder up again and come to the same problem that stopped me last time (that I had obviously forgotten about.... again).
It asks me for the Co-ords in DDD.DDDDDDD (<---- not sure how many Ds there really are there), 1. I have no idea what that is and 2. I have no idea how to convert the co-ords I DO have for it into that. This foils me every time.....
HELP?!?!

I tried to load the cartridge after saving and returning to it and got this - Image

How do I avoid this?
I have obviously lost all my hard work! :evil: :evil:
