Description
============
Speed up your looting by reducing pointless waiting--increase the speed of containers' opening animations.

+++Boring notes that you can probably safely ignore+++
- Only the opening animation speeds are increased, not the closing ones. This is because I experienced occasional graphical glitches when I tried speeding up the closing animations (filing cabinet drawers would turn black, for instance). But the sped up closing tended to look a little silly, anyway.
- There are one or two 'activator' objects that somewhat resemble containers, but aren't (like the magazine vending machines on the Strip) that are omitted.
- A few Broken Steel and Mothership Zeta containers were included, since they exist in New Vegas' data files even though they are unused.
- There is a small chance I may have overlooked one or more containers, but there are some that were intentionally omitted:
1) A few container meshes technically have animations, yet the animations are not displayed in-game, so no point in including those.
2) The damaged ammo box was omitted because it would fail to animate in-game after raising the speed for no apparent reason.
3) The 'high-tech' wall safes in Old World Blues, since they were not included with basic New Vegas (that is to say that this mod contains no DLC-only meshes). At least it has an interesting animation.

=============
Requirements
=============
None.
Note that this mod also works with Fallout 3 (and Tale of Two Wastelands) due to New Vegas using much of the same data as FO3.

=============
Installation
=============
Extract the Meshes folder into your "Fallout New Vegas\Data" folder and/or your "Fallout 3\Data" folder (merge the folders when prompted to). If you are prompted to overwrite any files, however, you may want to select 'No' because that means you are probably already using another mod that changes container meshes (unless of course you are overwriting a different speed setting of this same mod).

===============
Uninstallation
===============
Uninstallation is not recommended, since it is a tedious process. But if you must, examine the archive's file/folder structure to see what went where, and locate those files on your drive and dump them in the Recycle Bin.

============
Permissions
============
Do whatever you want with this; it's only 'vanilla' meshes tweaked slightly in Nifskope after all.
