Current version: Build 40 (26-OCT-2007)

Documentation Updates

24-OCT-2008: The various documentation pages have been updated to provide better clarity as to the current Hermes features.

Introduction

Hermes is an 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.
