What does "Mute" in the options menu of Local Chat and NPCs chat channels?

Question

When you right-click on the tabs of Local Chat and NPCs chat channels, you get an option "Mute". I experimented a bit but couldn't fine what difference I get between Mute and Unmute status of those channels. I couldn't find an answer for it on Tibia Manual either. I'd much appreciate it if there's someone out there who can enlighten me. Thanks!

Answer 1

The Mute button is for the new message sound effect.

In Options -> UI Sounds -> Console Messages, you can enable sounds for new messages across several categories of channel. For example, If you have the sound enabled for the Global channels, then you will get a sound effect for any new message in Advertising, English Chat or World Chat. But if you want a more fine-grained control over the sounds, you can mute a specific channel using the right click context menu, while keeping sound effects for the other channels. However, the mute status of a channel doesn't seem to persist when you log off and log back on, unlike the menu settings.

didn't knew about it, that's cool.

Thanks for the answer. So I assume "Mute" in Local Chat is for the sound when receiving a private message. There's always something new to learn. awesome. ^^
