animation prefix Thread

so, i need help converting weapons yo hl2. when i plain rename a CSS model from, say, shot_m3 to v_shotgun, or whatever the names are, the weapon turns out all screwed up. its on the wrong side of the screen, and sounds don't sink up. i had a few recommendations on how to fix this, and i thank all that helped me before. I think it may have to do with the snippet of code in the txt document in scripts called anim_prefix. would i have to locate the CSS model's animation prefix and put it here to make them work?

"anim_prefix"		"pistol"

Also, for my mod, i need a 3D source engine modeler, a programmer, and a mapper, sooooo if you fill those roles, contact me at my MOD's page, Moddb.com, Spacepiratefear@gmail.com or metroid_man222 for steam, or post a comment on my blog (which im using as a base of operations for my mod) www.theeverydaygamer.blogspot.com..

Thanks for any help you can give me!
