Description
===========
This mod unlocks all stable animation to all fitting weapons or weapon
combination and provides a book to configure different options ingame,
no console needed. The changed values will be saved in the savegame,
so there is no need to reconfigure everytime you start the game.


Details
=======
- Unlocks every stable animation to every fitting weapon or weapon combination.
- Unlocks kill moves to: left hand attacks, left hand power attacks,
dual attacks and dual power attacks.
- Provides a book to configure the mod.
- Provides different other not kill move oriented features.
- Avoids decapitations with Maces and Warhammers.

Configurable features:
Common
Drop Book
Since version 1.7 you are allowed to store the book in a container.
The mod will inform you if you are the owner of the container or not
and either way ask you if you really want to store the book there.
If the book was stored you will be asked if you want to return it
everytime you start a new game session. If you choose to return it
the book should also be removed from the container you stored it.

Player
Immunity
Make the character immune to kill moves.
SoulGem Checker
If the SoulGem Checker is activated the mod will notify you if you
draw a weapon capable of soul trapping, while you have empty
soul gems in your inventory, by shaking the camera, playing a sound
and lighting the player character.
Camera
KillCam
Vanilla
The KillCam will react like in vanilla skyrim.
1st person
The KillCam will always be 1st person.*
3rd person last enemy
The KillCam will always be in 1st person, but 3rd person for the
last enemy in a group.*
3rd person
The KillCam will always be 3rd person.*
ViewMode
The KillCam will change between 1st person and 3rd person
accordingly to the view mode you are currently using.*

*Some Kill moves only have proper 3rd person animations. Those will
always be in 3rd person, no matter which option is selected.

Advanced
1stPerson Mode
Standard
Normal 1st person kill cam.
Slow
1st person kill cam with slowmotion.
Split
"Standard" for mid-combat and "Slow" for the last enemy of a group.

3rdPerson Mode
Standard
Normal random cinematic 3rd person kill cams.
Static
The kill cam will use the normal 3rd person camera view.*
StaticSlow
Same as "Static" but with slowmotion.
Split
"Static" for mid-combat and "StaticSlow" for last enemy of a group.
CinematicSplit
"Static" for mid-combat and "Standard" for last enemy of a group.

ViewMode
Standard
no automatical view mode change.
1st person
As soon as you draw your weapon the view mode will be changed to
1st person.*
3rd person
As soon as you draw your weapon the view mode will be changed to
3rd person.*
Toggle
The view mode will be switched as soon as you draw your weapon.*
Learning
The view mode can be set for different weapons and
weapon combinations, including a sneak modifier.*

*You will always be able to switch the view mode manually, in case
of the option Toggle you can invert the toggle.
**You will have to set the view mode for every weapon or weapon combination.
Every weapon or weapon combination type will be using 1st person as default.

MoveShake
Off
No camera shake while moving.
Low, Medium, Hard
The camera will shake while you sneak fast, run or sprint.*

*The shake effect will get even a bit harder if you are transformed to a
werewolf or riding a horse.

Kill moves
KillMoves
Choose between Vanilla, also possible for all attack Branches, or
Advanced Kill Moves.
Mid-Combat
Allow kill moves to occur in the middle of combat instead on the last
enemy only.
Splitting
Decide if the kill moves will be split into mid-combat and last enemy.
Some of the kill moves tend to have a long duration, thus I allowed
them for the last enemy of a group only.
Decaps
Unlock decaps, if unlocked they can occur with the same possibility as
normal kill moves, if locked you can set the possibility for them to
occur as soon as you have the respective perk.
Chance
Change the chance for kill moves to occur.

Special
ray_314 sneak option
Unlock all sneak attacks as normal back attacks, so they can occur if
the player is discovered and not even in sneak mode.

nknight2084 punching option
This option will replace a hand 2 hand kilkl move, where you punch the
enemy in the face three times, with another kill move, when a weapon is
used.

Install
=======
1. Extract the files to "Skyrim/Data".
2. Make sure the esp file is located under "Skyrim/Data" and the scripts are
located under "Skyrim/Data/Scripts".
3. In case of the multilanguage version also make sure the string files provided
are located under "Skyrim/Data/Strings".

Uninstall
=========
1. Delete the "AdvancedKillMoves.esp" file under "Skyrim/Data".
2. Delete the four scripts starting with "AKM" under "Skyrim/Data/Scripts".
3. In case of the multilanguage version also delete the string files starting
with "AdvancedKillMoves_[...]" under "Skyrim/Data/Strings".

Upgrade
=======
Depending on the changes this mod requires a special update method.
Usually if the changes in the new version are not made for scripts, the
used quest or the AKM book, you can just remove the old version and install
the new version.
However if scripts, the quest or the book was changed you have to do a clean
install to get the mod run properly.

Clean install:
- Remove mod completely
- Start game
- Save once
- Quit game
- Install mod
- Start game

Incompatibility
===============
AdvancedKillMoves is most likely incompatible to all other kill move oriented
mods. In theory it should be compatible with every other kind of mod.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
- Some anmations are still failing sometimes although I removed most of
the buggy animations.
- A minority of users reported crashes on game-startup. This could be mod
conflicts. My advice is to only install one kill move mod.
