Psy2k on May 08, 2008
Maybe the badge is not enabled yet! Its there though, I provided the link above ;-)
debbye on May 08, 2008
didn't this happen with two other badges?
so near … & yet so far!
Psy2k on May 08, 2008
@debbey: yeah, shanghai badge, amsterdam badge...

Ooh god a badge for my favorite set! So much to collect, so little time...

Seriously... why is this simple aspect of the site such a problem?
There is a badge present. The variables for receiving the badge are present. Where's the code? Do they seriously not write the code for these badges until a couple days after the "win variables" are met?! I mean, someone receiving all 10 Modena sets a month from now will automatically get the badge, how is it, then, that the code that makes THAT happen not implemented PRIOR to releasing the set that would garner it?

It's possible that the logic that is checking for badges to award hasn't been updated to account for the new badge yet.
tamashii on May 08, 2008
^Why?
The instant they create a Family Badge (or any badge for that matter), the code to check to see if it should be awarded should be implemented. This is pretty basic stuff here. It's not even like they should have to reinvent new code for each individual badge.

No, you won't need to write new code, but you'd want the code to check only specific families for badges, otherwise you might end up in a situation where the code is awarding badges for families that don't have a badge yet. At the very least, the lookup tables that list which badges are associated with which families need updating.
But yes, I agree that when you have the badge ready, you may as well update the code. This may be a case of separation of duties - you've already prepared the badge, and it's my job to update the lookup tables, but I'm still busy with the latest Packrat feature and just haven't gotten to it yet.

I would presume that there is code for each badge, because all of the badges have different criteria to earn them.
Psy2k on May 08, 2008
@soprano: yes but family badges have almost the same criteria...
soprano on May 08, 2008
@Psy2k: I know they are similar, but it still needs to be done.

Still no badge... ?
misterhaan on May 09, 2008
there are a few parts of this site that could have been coded to happen automatically (family badges, updating the rss feed), but that doesn’t seem to be the way it was done. maybe if it had been, there would be more time for the chefs to design icon sets instead of having to manually release family badges...unless of course they want to make us wait.
mindgraffiti on May 09, 2008
Will someone send me Modena Gamer too?
debbye on May 09, 2008
be careful here, we know what happens to dissension!
Psy2k on May 09, 2008
The badge is hereeee!!! Loged out and back in and its there :-)
louiemctool on May 09, 2008
@debbye: no, we know what happens to whiners.

sigh now ive gotta decide which badge i want to go for first...modena or tower grove....hmmm hate these big iconic decisions!!!
iconmaster on May 09, 2008
Technically any system you can think of for implementing achievements of some kind has to be "manual" at some point in the system -- because the criteria for each achievement is unique.
Quite a number of the achievements were manually entered up front early in the life of the site. The problem is that the site keeps outgrowing the original achievements, so we keep adding new ones in an ad hoc fashion.
At the same time, we all wear multiple hats here and can't get to everything immediately. :)

@darkelf2099 - I know exactly what you mean! My set-collecting schedule has been totally thrown off by the Modena badge. Modena has more bronzes, though, so that badge is a bit easier than the Tower Grove to acquire. :D
darkelf2099 on May 10, 2008
@miranoriel-Yep thats exactly what i was thinking but ive already picked up 3 tower groves so now i guess i just have to juggle both of them and hopefully i can get 2 badges in june:)
