In-Combat Message Adjuster
v1.0

Description
This lets you adjust the corner message display time, depending on whether you're in or out of combat. If you have MCM you can configure this in the menu option list. Otherwise, use the following console commands to manually set them:
The above values are the defaults but I personally use 1.0 and 0.0 respectively, since even the out-of-combat messages can get annoying when multiple messages are queued up.
Installation
Use any of the mod managers or just drop the .esp file into your Fallout New Vegas\Data folder, then activate it.
Make sure you have the above requirements installed.
If you know what you're doing, I recommend merging this into a designated "miscellaneous small mods" plugin in your load order. If you want to trim your load order, you should think about doing this.
Uninstallation
Just uninstall with your mod manager or delete the .esp file from your Fallout New Vegas\Data folder. Since the NVSE function this mod uses (SetDefaultMessageTime) doesn't persist beyond a game session, message display time will go back to its default when you uninstall.
Some notes on merging

In short, you want to set all the Menu Items' Value fields in sequence with each other. Then, in each MCM menu script, find the following lines:
and change it to:

I assumed a condition check on a frame is more performant than applying an engine value change on a frame. This might not be true. If anyone knows a better way please let me know.
