Restored HL2 Viewmodels w/ C_ Hands

...or close enough anyway.

Note: Pictures were taken w/ a viewmodel fov of 60.

To explain in more detail, this mod restores the aspects of the original HL2 weapons onto the GMod version of them, while retaining C_ hands, and not in any hacky way either (like slapping the C_ hands on top of the HEV hands and requiring you to install an invisible HEV arms mod or something). These are the original GMod viewmodels, except repositioned/changed to look almost exactly like HL2 (in most cases, that just means pushing the viewmodel down slightly).

It was shockingly easy to do this. I'm surprised no one had done this yet (unless someone has; I swear, I couldn't find an addon doing this for the life of me). Some repositions are actually slightly off (from HL2), but idc enough to make them exact.

== Important Notes ==

- The way I removed the left arm on the AR2 slightly breaks vmanip stuff while that weapon is being held; as in, your arm doesn't appear when doing left handed vmanip stuff (whatever it is that vmanip is doing still happens, it's just that your left arm is invisible). I'm not exactly sure how I would fix it other than editing every single frame on every single animation to have the left arm off screen rather than outright disabling the left arm (which is what I do for this mod).

- The default C_ smg1 model has 2 unique left hand hold anims, which, given their names, I assume are used only by the CSS and DOD playermodels. I liked the CSS version more than the default one, so that one is now always in effect in this mod. Also the left hand slightly moves after finishing a reload, which at first I thought was an error in my own mod, but then I went back and saw that the same thing happens on the default SMG1. Just thought I should mention that in case anyone notices it.

- The only weapons I changed are what's shown in the pictures. If a certain weapon isn't in there that is indeed different from default HL2, I didn't change it because I didn't feel like it.

- I believe it works online. I tested it in a friend's server who didn't have the addon and my default weapons worked fine. Idk how it would behave the other way around though.

Anyone is free to take the addon and make their own edits. Though I'd suggest you just decompile the original viewmodels yourself rather than use mine (should whatever edits you want to make involve messing with the models themselves).

I'm also working on Juniez versions now. The collection is here. Any weapon not included just means I haven't finished & uploaded it yet.
