Modding sounds and depth perception

[Takkunen]

So I've changed gun sounds and noticed that if someone is firing within an audible range they don't sound like they're all the way over there but right next to me firing.
How am I able to change the gun sounds and keep the depth perception?

mono as opposed to stereo maybe.

also mess around with /al_rollofffactor the lower it is, the closer sounds will be iirc and vice versa

[Takkunen]

doing neither or both changed anything.

al_rollofffactor simply deals with how close the sound sounds to you. As it decreases it gets more sensitive. I dunno if ur not using headphones or anything. It's impossible afaik to change the depth of a sound without modding the client because doing so could easily allow "sound cheating"

well i tried al_rol at 0, 100 and the max and all sounded like they were right in my ears.
