Counter Strike: Source supports right or left handed viewmodels. By default, viewmodels are left-handed. In order to be used in a map for a right-handed character, they need to be flipped using CSS code that is #ifdef'd out in the Source SDK 2013. There's a guide on the VDC that goes into a lot of detail.

I would request supporting these options so that mappers can use CSS compatible models in HL2 mods, for whatever reason. This will also allow left handed models in mods if the viewmodels are set up to allow it.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was trying to use Counter Strike Source based view models in a map for Mapbase mod, but HL2 doesn't support viewmodel flipping. I'm not sure if CSS models should generally be used like that or if I really will use them, BUT I think supporting the left handed / right handed model flipping could have some accessibility benefits.
Describe the solution you'd like
Based on the VDC, it looks like all the code is already in the SDK2013 and simply needs to be included back in by removing the #ifdef.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I might not use these models at all. If I do, I will need to modify them anyways.
