 Anti Combat Stance - by AntonioMontanaGTA
===============================================

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Stops your character from snapping into the tense "Action Mode" combat
stance that GTA V forces for a few seconds after you kill a ped. With
this mod installed, your character stays relaxed instead of automatically
going into the weapon-ready alert pose/camera after a kill.

The mod is always active once installed - there is no menu or hotkey,
it just works in the background.

FEATURES
--------
- Cancels the forced "Action Mode" stance after killing a ped
- Resets ped alertness so the game doesn't keep re-triggering it
- Lightweight, runs a simple background check, no noticeable performance impact

REQUIREMENTS
------------
- GTA V, LEGACY version only (Steam/Rockstar/Epic build). Not tested/
  built for the "Enhanced" re-release.
- ScriptHookV by Alexander Blade (required by all ASI mods)

INSTALLATION
------------
1. Install ScriptHookV first if you haven't already (ScriptHookV.dll and
   dinput8.dll go in your main GTA V folder, next to GTA5.exe).
2. Copy AntiCombatStance.asi into your main GTA V folder (same folder as
   GTA5.exe and ScriptHookV.dll).
3. Launch the game normally.

UNINSTALLATION
--------------
Delete AntiCombatStance.asi from your GTA V folder.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
------------------
Works reliably for the normal case: kill a ped, the stance gets cancelled.
It is less reliable while cops are actively engaging you during a wanted
level (within roughly 100m) - the game's own combat AI keeps re-forcing
the stance every frame in that situation, and it can occasionally win the
race against the mod.

CHANGELOG
---------
v1.1 - Fixed a bug where the mod also blocked Stealth Mode (crouch,
       default Left Ctrl). Stealth Mode now works normally.
     - Improved suppression of the stance triggered by melee combat.
v1.0 - Initial release
