Auto-point-of-view

Unlike the Oblivion version (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/21834/) of this mod, this version doesn't learn your preferences from use. It will use the defaults. Or you'll need to specify the point-of-views for each condition manually in MCM, in the console or via the INI file. Remember that you need to execute the INI before its changes take effect. Read the Install section if you need more information on this. However, most other features of the Oblivion version is present in this Skyrim version. 

When any of these conditions change, the mod will automatically press the Switch Point-Of-View button to put your view into your preferred point-of-view as listed in the INI. 

The order of conditions and their default point-of-views are: 
In dialogue: 1st-person 
Torch is out: 1st 
Bow is drawn: 1st-person 
Range weapon is out, ranged weapon is out indoors: 3rd-person 
Spell/Staff is out, spell/staff is out indoors: 1st 
Melee weapon is out, melee weapon is out indoors: 3rd 
Sneaking: 1st 
Sprinting: 3rd 
Swimming: 1st
In interiors: 1st 
Otherwise: 3rd 

You can temporarily switch to the other point-of-view and the mod will keep this view until it detects another required change. For example: Your melee weapon is out and the mod puts your view into 1st-person - but for this one fight, you'd rather that it is in 3rd-person. Manually switch your view and the mod will keep on the 3rd-person view until it detects another required change. Putting your weapon away or switching to a new weapon will trigger the required change. And so the mod will go through each condition and choose the new point-of-view. 

The mod will also return the 3rd-person view to it's previous distance from the player. However, some game events will return this distance to its default. Examples of these events are vampire feeding and using a crafting station. 

Note that when the game takes control of the camera (e.g. during kill-views, when on a horse or when using a crafting station), this mod pauses itself and leaves the game to control the camera. It'll take control of the camera again after the game releases its control. 

Custom 3rd-person camera positions

By default, this is enabled. Turn off userChange3rdPersonCameraPos in the console, INI or in the MCM to disable this feature. This feature changes the 3rd-person camera's X and Z positions and Y combat modification for these conditions: no weapons equipped, with a spell ready while standing, with a spell ready while sneaking, with a melee weapon while standing, with a melee weapon while sneaking, with a ranged weapon while standing and with a ranged weapon while sneaking - in that order of priority. Also, this feature requires that the [camera] section exists in your Skyrim.INI file. Simply add it in if it doesn't exist.

Note that because the 3rd-person camera changes only when you change your equipped weapons (i.e. it does not change when the mod changes any of these variables), going to and from sneak mode without changing your equipped weapons will not change the 3rd-person camera's position. I've already requested a function from the SKSE developers to address this.

Also note that these changes are not written into the Skyrim.INI file. Uninstalling this mod (or turning off this feature), will restore your original 3rd-person camera positions.

Turn this feature off when playing with another 3rd-person camera mod.

Details

You can configure this mod with SkyUI's MCM or in the Console by typing "SetPQV kuAFTPVq {mod data} {value}". Below are the various mod data that you can change, their default values and a short description of their effects. 

The allowable values are: 
-1: don't check against this condition 
0: 3rd-person-view 
100: 1st-person-view 
(Note that the score range from 0 to 100 range was to be used in scoring your changes in the different conditions. This will allow the mod to learn what you use. However, this is currently disabled.) 

userWhenInDialogue = 100 
When in dialogue. 

userWhenRangedWeaponStart = 100 
When you pull on your bow. 

userWhenRangedWeaponDrawn = 0 
userWhenRangedWeaponDrawnIndoors = 0 
When you have a ranged weapon out. 

userWhenSpellDrawn = 100 
userWhenSpellDrawnIndoors = 100 
When you have a spell or staff out. 

userWhenMeleeWeaponDrawn = 0 
userWhenMeleeWeaponDrawnIndoors = 0 
When you have a melee weapon out. 

userIgnoreLeftHand = False 
userIgnoreRightHand = False 
When set to true, the mod ignores changes to the hand, allowing you to change equipped items without changing the camera. 

userWhenSprinting = 0 
When sprinting. 

userWhenSneaking = 0 
When sneaking. 

userWhenInInterior = 100 
When you're in an interior cell. 

userWhenOtherwise = 0 
When no other conditions are met. 

userSnapTo1st = False 
When true, the camera doesn't transition in to 1st-person view. When false, it does. Note that when true, there are some cases when this will force 3rd-person view to snap also. 

userSnapTo3rd = False 
When true, the camera doesn't transition out to 3rd-person view. When false, it does. Note that when true, the camera snaps back to the default distance for the 3rd-person view. It is recommended that this is kept at false. However, there are times when the game takes control of the camera and snaps it to 3rd-person view. When this happens, the 3rd-person camera returns to its default distance. An example of this is when the game takes control of the camera during feeding as a vampire. 

userChange3rdPersonCameraPos = True
When true, the position of the 3rd-person camera will change in these conditions: no weapons equipped, with a melee weapon while standing, with a melee weapon while sneaking, with a ranged weapon while standing, with a ranged weapon while sneaking, with a spell ready while standing and with a spell ready while sneaking. Turn this feature off when playing with another 3rd-person camera mod.

userCameraPosWhenNoWeaponsX = 30, userCameraPosWhenNoWeaponsY = 0, userCameraPosWhenNoWeaponsZ = -10
userCameraPosWhenMeleeWeaponDrawnX = 0, userCameraPosWhenMeleeWeaponDrawnY = -100, userCameraPosWhenMeleeWeaponDrawnZ = 20
userCameraPosWhenMeleeWeaponDrawnX2 = 0, userCameraPosWhenMeleeWeaponDrawnY2 = -100, userCameraPosWhenMeleeWeaponDrawnZ2 = 20
userCameraPosWhenSpellDrawnX = 0, userCameraPosWhenSpellDrawnY = -100, userCameraPosWhenSpellDrawnZ = 20
userCameraPosWhenSpellDrawnX2 = 0, userCameraPosWhenSpellDrawnY2 = -100, userCameraPosWhenSpellDrawnZ2 = 20
userCameraPosWhenRangeWeaponDrawnX = 0, userCameraPosWhenRangeWeaponDrawnY = -100, userCameraPosWhenRangeWeaponDrawnZ = 20
userCameraPosWhenRangeWeaponDrawnX2 = 0, userCameraPosWhenRangeWeaponDrawnY2 = -100, userCameraPosWhenRangeWeaponDrawnZ2 = 20
These are the 3rd-person camera's custom positions. Note that for weapon drawn camera positions the first 3 numbers are for when you are standing and the next 3 are for when you are sneaking. The values above are the game's default 3rd-person camera position. When you first install the mod, the mod will take these values from your Skyrim.INI - in case you've already customised the 3rd-person camera positions.

userCommit3rdPersonCameraPosNow = False
Set to True after changing any of the camera positions. The values will then be inserted into their appropriate Array properties.

A configuration file (data\ini\kuerteeAutoFirstThirdPersonView.ini) is provided with the relevant console commands. If you want to change any of the default values above, change them in the INI file then run the file by typing {bat "ini\kuerteeAutoFirstThirdPersonView.ini"} (without the brackets) in the console. You only need to do this when you want to change the values of the property. Your changes will be saved in your game.
