Open Containers - Resource
----------------------------

Introduction:
-------------

All Hail to the Mighty Footlocker!
Most containers can now be fully opened, whether it'd be for Interactivity, "Immershon", Evil plans, or Decoration.

A test room to visit for everyone, an extensive Resource for Modders...

Description:
------------

Almost all game base containers have been made fully openable and closeable, with fitting animations and collisions.
You can open & close them, place manually object inside and retrieve them, without Pip-Boy.

Some containers come with variations (with or without planks inside), there's a restored cut content, and a couple of new meshes (mesh-mashed).

Sounds referenced are Vanilla. Some closing sounds where inexistent, others are very short. I've tried my best to make things matching with the existing material.

Despite some UV changes, textures replacers should work without problem. (Please report if not).

One potential use is to set object as new traps: placing a grenade inside, a little script and there you have a deadly undetectable device.

If set as Activator in Geck, the object will prompt "Activate", but if set as a Door it will show "Open", and therefore it will be undetectable from the outside. (Both examples shown in the Test Room)
The little script provided and used in the Test room will work with both type, activator or door.

Similar resource exist and some of their elements have been used, often as a base (see credits below). But most of them have been remade while I was learning, going to every possible problems.

Meshes have been modified to have an inside, parts like hinges have been added when needed, some UV map have been modified, Vertex painting has been attempted (Oh! the pain), Collisions have been rebuild (and many headaches collected), sounds and HAV_MAT carefully chosen, animation have been added or remade, everything has been optimized to have minimal impact as much as my knowledge allows (and with great help from Prensa).

Every nif is shown and testable in the Test Room. Scripts and details about nifs are provided in the Docs folder.
An entrance for the room is near Vault 101. Coc is AAPixContainer.

FirstAidKit01: Space inside is too small to accept Havoked object. A version with static clutter is provided.

Vertices painting is approximative, sorry, can't do better for the moment...

Bug reports are welcome and rewarded with Kudos. Please look at the Details & Permission as some meshes cannot be used in NV.

Permission:
-----------
DisplayCase01 & 02 are exclusive for FO3 and cannot be used in New Vegas.
The rest can be used freely in your FO3 and FNV mods only, with credits.

Please keep the files and folder naming and the folder structure intact if using an unmodified resource in your mod.
So if several mods are using the same resource, only one model and texture will be loaded.
Thank you.
