What this?

An edit to the ContainerMenu.swf, to hide the 3D item preview when bartering or any other container related context. In the beginning it was quite useful to have an item preview so you'd know what to expect on a, for example, weapon or an armor, but at one point it annoyed the f out of me that I couldn't see how those items, I would actors dress up with, look on them. So I had to edit the menu file.

How to Install?

It's a loose files replacer. Install at will and make sure it loads after FallUI - Inventory. Or even better, just copy paste it right into the FallUI - Inventory folder, and allow override(of course the interface folder, not Data, or the root folder). Make a backup before if you must.

Why did you edit the ContainerMenu.swf, and not the BarterMenu.swf?

Because unfortunately the whole 3D item preview function logic is handled inside the ContainerMenu.swf. The BarterMenu.swf references the ContainerMenu.swf, but it does not expand the function, and since I can only hack, but not completely build new code with the hacking tools I'm using, that's all you get right now I'm afraid.

So that means it will affect all containers?

Yes, but the 3D function is still fully intact in your Pip Boy Inventory, which, given I'm also using rename everything, is the only instance for me to review weapons/apparels etc. anyways. So if that bothers you, it's probably best idea not to use this patch.
