Jim's Sneak Peek for OpenMW

Jim's Sneak Peek adds a simple first-person peek system for OpenMW.

While sneaking, the player can lean left or right to peek around corners without fully stepping into view. The goal is to make stealth feel more physical and useful, especially for players using first-person sneaking, stealth overhauls, dungeon crawling, or slower roleplay setups.

This is not a full stealth overhaul. It does not replace detection, AI, sneak formulas, or combat behavior. It focuses on one thing: giving the player a controlled lean/peek option during sneaking.
