Description
-----------
This is a skse plugin that enables a visible body when in first person using a hybrid mode (vanilla 1st person arms with 3rd person body). Also, any points where the game force switches to 3rd person (sitting, crafting, riding, werewolf, knockout/death, etc.) are now in 1st person.

Notes:
- This is a beta version so there may be bugs.
- Settings can be configured in the 'SKSE\Plugins\SKSE_EnhancedCamera.ini' file.


Requirements
------------
This plugin requires Skyrim 1.9.32.0.8 and SKSE version 1.6.16 or above.


Install
-------
Extract the contents of this archive into your Skyrim Data folder.


Uninstall
---------
Delete "SKSE_EnhancedCamera.dll" and "SKSE_EnhancedCamera.ini" from your "Data\SKSE\Plugins" folder.


Compatibility
-------------
This mod should be compatible with almost everything except for other mods that modify the 1st person camera.
FNIS animations mods may not work in 1st person unless bForceFirstPersonCamera is enabled in the ini file.
Entering/exiting the backwards animation from 360 animations mods may have minor visual glitches.
Mod related fov changes (e.g. Customizable Camera) may cause bugs during fake 1st person animations.


Known Issues
------------
- Some animations might not work as well with head bob disabled and may move the feet oddly.
- You are able to see your character's body during the Skyrim intro.
- Player shadows may be oddly drawn on the 1st person body (noticeable with shields).
- Magic shaders do not appear on 3rd person body when in 1st person.
- There may be increased body clipping with high fov or fneardistance values.
- Body twitching when moving mouse up/down due to game switching to turn left/right animations.

Various bugs with werewolf/Vampire Lord or horse/dragon riding:
- Camera view is not saved in save game.
- Mouse wheel cannot be used to switch point of view.
- You may be able to rotate the camera to face your character.
- Other minor visual bugs.

Great mod! This is the best of it's kind. By the way do you know what variable (if any) in the SKSE source contains the direction of the player camera when weapons are sheathed? Because all known functions for that in Papyrus return zero if the player has no weapons drawn. And I cannot make sense of the camera classes.

Excellent mod. Been using with no problems since beta 0.8a. Thank you very much for sharing it with us!

Great idea! I've been hoping for a 1st person werebear mod (yeah, I know you can't actually become a werebear in vanilla Skyrim, but Moonlight Tales allows you to replace your werewolf blood with werebear). Thanks for this. Grabbed and will soon check out.
