Is it possible to add a line to Shut Yer Trap to mute a specific NPC?

I asked on the addon page a year ago; I don't think it's being looked at anymore:

The people next to Craglorn Belkarth wayshrine - Shut Yer Trap doesn't seem to recognize them. I want to mute the angry woman yelling at Mizashur about "a wagon full of goods".

Idk if it's possible to add a line of code or something to do this.

Baertram✭✭✭✭✭I think remosito does not play ESO anymore, he said. So I guess noone is maintaining that addon atm.
Let me have a look, maybe it is possible and easily doable.
Edit:
It only seems to work with NPC text that would be shown by vanilla subtitle manager too (ZO_SubtitleManager.OnShowSubtitle), or in the chat as monster say or yell channels!
It automatically seems to add new found NPCs and dialogs that are spoken this way, as the who (NPC name) and as text at the settings menu dropdowns. You can remove them yourself there if you want to unmute them again.
Or else I do not see how you can add other NPCs and texts. Maybe this one at Belkarth is not using the chat channel, orZO_SubtitleManager.OnShowSubtitle function and thus cannot be muted?
Did you check the chat if you can see the NPC's text in there at the monster say/yell channels? If not it most likely cannot be added :-(
If it's near a wayshrine one could only try to mute the sound after porint to Belkarth (if that is even detectable as one can most likely only detect the zone but not the wayshrine ported to (e.g. if you telepot to a group or guild member).
So maybe there is no way to really detect and mute the sound that way....Edited by Baertram on December 29, 2025 10:02PM1 -

Thanks Baertram! I'm guessing they are not using those channels; I've never been able to get the addon's dropdown to detect them. I will check the chat next time...
but in the end I might just use the simplest solution and mute my own sound around there

ZomZom✭✭✭Wait—there’s an add on to stifle NPCs? Does it work on PS5? The guy in Alinor yammering about “unloading boxes” drives me nuts.0 -

Idk about that, you could always check the ESOUI page linked in OP. Idk if extra steps needed to be taken to make it compatible for consoles – since the creator is no longer around for at least a year and addons for consoles only came out recently, any support tasks wouldn't have been done.1 -
Baertram✭✭✭✭✭Yeah it's currently not compatible with console as the chat there is different and the settings menu would need to be ported too etc.
Maybe someone will take that approach, I think it could be done.
Perhaps ask here for a port of that PC addon to console:
