Maybe in future I'll do another part of Pripyat town with ferris wheel

"The Ferris wheel is a background element in Yanov and Pripyat, and is in both levels inaccessible due to it being outside the playable area. It can be easily seen in Yanov by standing by the eastern map limit or atop the Cementary. In Pripyat, it can be seen from the rooftop of the Yubileiny Service Center, or from the north-western map limit."

It can be put in the skybox, however to include such a thing when we're already at Source Limits is asking for a bit much. The reason it was not included was it was not in the vicinity of this map, nor had no impact on gameplay / use.

This map was not made for you either. If you'd like to pay for a map commission from the map creator, feel free to do so and request the Ferris Wheel put in.

I could probably make a somewhat accurate re-creation of the Ferris wheel in Hammar. It would just take a bit of time. I'm not asking for the Ferris wheel to work, im asking for it to be included because of its significance. I dont think photoshoping a jpeg of it and using it as a backround does it justice.

I'm not sure you understood the part where I said, "we're already at Source Limits". Also the fact that a Skybox isn't a simple jpeg. This uses a 3D skybox. Which means there's actual models in the background.

Being that we're at limits of that already, it'd be hard to reasonably include it if not to remove something else.

I know that. I'm sorry for the nit pick, and I know it's not easy to build maps. Best of luck in the future.

I think you might be able to take the ferris wheel model from CS:GO's Cache, just a thought, or if you make a ferris wheel in hammer, it wouldn't be too hard to make it into a model.

SOC Pripyat + COP Pripyat?!

My guess is you just get a Ferris Wheel ragdoll, shrink it, then put it in the skybox.

ez

It doesn't seem that big though, you say you're at the limits? That sounds ridiculous. There's no way to bypass those limits by a trick or loophole? I also heard there was a new april update that allowed for more stuff in maps. There was some underground exploration I wanted to do on this map, And visit the ferris wheel and maybe even the plant itself in the map. And more radioactive signs, and maybe a version of pripyat in the harsh winter would be amazing looking in my opinion. As well as more soviet symbols. There's too much lacking in this map in my opinion. I've played on other maps before, and they've felt questionably larger.
