====== [Chat] ======
Configures the [[ChatModule]] in [[Simulators]].

This module will send messages to all listeners in a region which are within range of the type of message sent.

^ Chat Configuration Item ^ Default ^ Example ^ Description ^
| enabled | true | true | Controls whether the chat module is enabled |
| whisper_distance | 10 | 10 | Distance in meters that whispers should travel |
| say_distance | 20* | 20 | Distance in meters that ordinary chat should travel |
| shout_distance | 100 | 100 | Distance in meters that shouts should travel |

* Older revisions of [[OpenSimulator]] defaulted to 30 meters instead of the expected 20 meters.

===== ConciergeModule Note =====
The [[ConciergeModule]] may be used to replace the [[ChatModule]] and carry local chat message to everyone in a region regardless of range from the speaker, for meetings, presentation, or educational purposes.
