| Current version: | Build 40 (26-OCT-2007) | |
Build 40 is the last stand-alone release of Hermes.
Build 41 will be a plug-in for the Squailboont Agency's upcoming bot platform. More details will be available as this version of Hermes advances in development.
Keep track of this, and the Agency's other stumblings, here in the blog.
Thank you for your continued interest in one of the most acclaimed bots in AW! (There are, of course, many others.)
Hermes is the former AWTeen extended-chat system created by Dr. SquaiLboonT (cit#314753) in March 2006.
Hermes will extend your effective chat range by relaying messages from users who are not inside your normal chat range. For example: people in ground zero (0N 0E) can chat with people who are over 20,000 meters away, such as 1950N 2050E.
The extended chat system requires active participation; messages are only relayed to those users who have enabled the chat features. See the commands section for more information.
ChatRelayBot, the 'ancestor' of Hermes, is a previous chat bot project by Dr. SquaiLboonT. Hermes is now the official successor of ChatRelayBot; the website for ChatRelayBot remains archived in the Internet Archive.
As of Hermes Build 31, the world option Hide Chat is now properly supported. The Extended Chat Network works as it normally does for participating users, with additional compensation by Hermes for when users are inside the normal chat range of each other and for users not participating.
