know when somone is sending you a Private Message ?
Now when you get a private message, a new sound will play, alerting you
that you have a private message.

Have you ever clicked OK, before reading

gotpm.wav
to your filename
- What I have noticed is that I had to change the sound
codecs with the recent changes to teamspeak 3

seems to sound best

and some other sounds.
- You can change the pmwatch.ini
file to use any of the other wav
files in this directory

file
- You can add custom sounds by user, by editing pmwatch.ini
- issue the !pmwconfig
command or
- Open pmwatch.ini in the plugins/pmwatch/
directory with notepad.exe
or your favorite editor
- The comments in pmwatch.ini
file explain the format of the file
- add or edit a line with the format 1,uid,file.wav,comment,
- replace uid
with the unique id of the user you want to play a different sound for.
- replace file.wav with the
name of the file you want to play
