Parcel Chat Relay v2
*** THE ORIGINAL ***
This is the original parcel chat relay with full source and optimal performance.
These days there are -often more expensive- alternatives around. Don't let them rip your lindens! For L$25 you have the best product for the lowest price - read the reviews if you don't believe it.

Updated version 2 - even more efficient ; no longer uses radar! Version 1 is included in package too.
Description:
Communicate on your land in general chat regardless of distance between avatars. Useful when building, in clubs, for roleplay, etc.
Messages will be intelligently relayed - a listener will never hear a message twice! It will either be heard normally, or relayed. Using the new llRegionSayTo() api, chat messages are only relayed to avatars that are out of range.
How to use:
* Rez 1 or more relays on your parcel, in a way that you could hear each avatar (<20m). Do not worry overlapping, but don't overdo it either - less relays will still be less lag.
* If you rez a relay on its' final position, it will immediately be 'tuned' and part of the network.
* If you move or remove a relay, it might take up to 10 minutes for the network to catch up.
Features:
* Muliple relays can be rezzed to cover each part of your parcel.
* Dedoubling without any overhead
* Low lag - relays do not have to communicate to dedouble messages
Permissions:
Script: Full perm - see license.
Demo item: copy, modify.
Limitations:
* Works only per parcel (by design). Agents on neighboring land will not receive relayed messages.
* Receivers have to be within radar range (96m) of the receiving relay
* Scripts cannot distinguish normal say, whispering and shouting. Normal say is assumed. Shouts may be heard double by the receiver
* Moving avatars might experience 'border' cases - where a message sometimes accidentally is not relayed or double relayed. Due to the fast response time unlikely
* The displayed ('faked') name is the official linden name, and chat is colored like objects, not avatars. Also depends on viewer settings.
Remarks on the parcel limitation.. Other options (sim wide, range based) would be easily possible, but i like the item to be zero-config ('just works'). Feel free to mod the script at your demands.
License:
The TSL License - Summorized: Full perm scripts so you can edit and modify. Unrestricted for personal use, but for building (redistributing) please obtain a builder's license to support my work.

This product is both available as part of the DJ set and as stand alone product.
Best $25L I have EVER spent in SL!
I run a few venues.. and one of my biggest pet peeves.. is SHOUTING!
So.. I bought a few "chat extenders".. they sucked.
I thought.. this is only $25L - it can't be what I have been looking for! (Whatever I like, is always the most expensive thing) but this time, I struck gold! This WORKS and I could not see doing ANY of my shows without them!
Perfection!
This system works like a charm - and right away after unpacking. It comes as open source and at 25L it is a steal!
What is more: the author is helpful with specific questions and even implemented a few suggestions from my side.
Get it, it works exactly as advertised.
AMAZING product! Great customer service!
This is an amazing product....and cheap! SHe is amazing at customer service..WOW....!
yea.. there is a relay...
but no receiver ?
Poor instructions and incomplete. Does not work.
Works fine
Was at first miffed because I only got a notecard and no product. Read through it and saw a lot of the same stuff explained on the main page, here. But worry not. The product is on the notecard as an attachment. After facepalming myself, I set the relays out and they worked just fine.
