Modifies the activated Duga OTH Radar and adds lightning combined with psi-emissions.

Greetings, this is the Kaimanov Group.

Upon discovering Dr. B. Kaimanov’s research on the Aggression Suppressor “Veselka,” we decided to apply his materials in practice. Our mission is to test the Doctor’s developments at the Duga OTH Radar facility so that stalkers can witness not only the psi-emissions of the activated Duga — but also lightning.

The initial tests were successful. We invite you to try it out for yourself!

Sincerely,
The Kaimanov Group

Everything currently looks as follows. If you find any bugs or have suggestions regarding the Duga OTH Radar project — or ideas for reconstructing another facility — please, I’m open to your thoughts and suggestions! Thank you!

Continued Testing and New Findings

Greetings, dear stalkers!

As our objective is the full implementation of the Duga OTH Radar, we decided to return once again to the Promin CMD Factory in search of additional materials regarding Duga's functionality as a powerful psi-emitter. According to available information, a certain individual had already been here and took some documents — but no worries. We discovered further scientific materials and realized that the full activation of the Duga structure is entirely possible, so we’ve decided to put that knowledge into practice!

We will continue working on the complete Duga OTH Radar project. Stay tuned for upcoming updates and some fixes to the Small Duga. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Scientific Research and Investigation Team of Kaimanov

Thank you to the mod developers who helped me solve the issue with updating my mod! Dalin

Hey everyone, stalkers! The 0.0.4 update is finally out! In this version, the lightning timing for the Small Duga has been improved — this gives the object a higher-quality effect and makes the lightning behavior more logical. The previous cluttered look has been cleaned up, and everything now feels more balanced.

#

The Large Duga was also updated — it now has a psi-emission effect, just like the Small Duga!

Fire 🔥 love it Rad_Sign_Heart

Thank you so much for the kind and warm words, friends. I have an interesting question

In general, the Duga is a huge complex made up of multiple facilities, and a site like the Krug Antenna Complex is also part of the Duga system. In your opinion, would it make sense to include it as part of Duga?

modern sleet

#

Hello, dear stalkers. The mod has been updated to version 0.0.5. In this update, the Krug Antenna Complex has been activated - it now operates as long as the Duga is active. Lightning effects have been added to all antennas, and they are now periodic and logically timed.

P.S. I personally decided to include the Krug Antenna Complex in the Duga mod, as I want stalkers to experience my vision of how the Duga operates 🙂

#

Additionally, the Brain Scorcher might also be activated during the operation of the Duga — but that’s not certain yet. It’s possible this object will be included in the Kaimanov Terror Emission mod instead.

Def. Id like to add the Psy postprocess while emission is occurring

#

I think a lot of this needs to be done via the EmissionPrototype.cfg though 😦

stark forge
#

go to your effect, if it says Properties: GPU -> change so its CPU (see 2nd pic)

Ah nice Shay to the rescue

kind furnace
# stark forge

Thank you very much! I’ll check it now this should potentially fix everything in the mod, right?

wide stirrup
#

Yeah but you might run into some performance issues

#

The game already melts CPUs so adding even more overhead is a sure fire way to get people already struggling to struggle more lolol

stark forge
#

pfff itll be fineee hha

#

how much worse can it be compared to say gun effects or impact

wide stirrup
#

Idk but for me if I lose more than a few frames I've failed lol

kind furnace
#

I'll test it now if everything works, I'm going to buy a beer and drink it in front of the Generators smile_degtyarev

#

It works

#

God Damn! It works

stark forge
#

now test performance -> go hub, use spawn tools -> spawn a bunch of npc -> trigger emission

#

see if the stability and performance drops

#

test rostok as the hub

Updating the mod now, gonna record a video Dalin

#

I’ll need to fix some of the lighting, but the main thing is that everything else works smile_degtyarev

wide stirrup
#

Ah very nice

#

I can see the reset between generators_start and generators_idle lol

#

Did you do any changes to the vortex? The "corona" as it's called in the NS

kind furnace
#

For the Corona, I didn’t do anything specific — the corona itself is linked to the main beam that shoots into the sky. In my generators_idle (and other emission stages), I’ve placed several coronas

#

Ah okay that makes sense

#

But ah wait since you modify the Generators NS you probably anyways overwrite my changes

#

I just made the corona bigger and slower, and a few misc changes like the color....I made it darker so it blends better with my cloud changes

#

I can send you my files if you want to "mix" our mods (in a way you can say your mod is "compatible" with DWO)

#

I'm doing some major work on DWO now though, so I should be done with it in like September time

#

Also waiting for VFX GPU emitters fix so I can hopefully return those emitters to GPU targets

kind furnace

#

Is that what you mean? Or what electric effect do you mean ?

kind furnace
#

Does your mod replace only the corona (or the corona and the main beam), or does it replace everything related to the Generators like the lightning effects on its towers?

wide stirrup
#

So just the electric effect that comes from the tip of the generators and the corona

#

Everything else I don't touch

kind furnace
#

Then great, mixing the mod will be much easier

wide stirrup
#

Yeah I think you just need to change the color

#

Of the electric beam and the "glow"

#

Once I'm done with VFX stuff, I'll drop by here

#

You can checkout my latest test version in #1387390279857995796 . I recently added 2 extra coronas to try to make the vortex look more like a super cell

That's look nice, but without cast shadows from light sources it looks flat

I think that the immediate red lightning columns on the Generators at the beginning of the Emision look a bit out of harmony with the rest of the scene, and a transition could make it better - usual plain blue lightning at the beginning, and a smooth transition to warm colors of lightning columns at middle of the Emision

Hello everyone, stalkers. In the near future, all mods will be updated to version 1.6 (although there shouldn’t be any issues for now). Additionally, the Kaimanov Terror Emission mod will get an update with more sparks and so on. I also planned to add an anomaly for the Generators that would activate during an Emission and deactivate once it ends, but at the moment there are some minor difficulties with this.

Furthermore, for all mods that use lightning, I’d like to add more liveliness and realism in terms of sounds. I understand that the effects are already quite a good aspect of the gameplay, but sounds are extremely necessary. As far as I know, it’s not yet possible to add sounds, but this still needs further research. Stay tuned for updates, thank you!

Welcome back. These changes sound awesome .

The mod has been updated to version 1.6. Please, if you experience any issues with the mod, let us know in the chat

Greetings, stalkers.
In the next update of Duga, expect some minor changes on Small Duga (mostly cosmetic tweaks) and new effects for the Brain Scorcher. For the Brain Scorcher specifically, there might also be some additional cosmetic effects — I want everything to look visually appealing.

Work on the sound design is also in progress. Even without a WwiseAudio update, the sounds already function, though a bit “rough.”

One of the ideas was to add a psi-effect for Duga. One version actually worked — across the whole Zone, due to Duga’s operation, the player experiences a periodic psi-effect. It’s currently being tested. The issue is that the psi-emission effect (like those from Controllers or psi-lamps) is still a mystery in the Zone Kit — I can’t figure out how it works, and there’s no documentation about it.

In the upcoming updates, the main goal will be to add lightning effects for Big Duga. Stay tuned for the next updates and news. Thank you!

Hello everyone, dear stalkers!
The next update for Duga will be a big one — in test mode, lightning effects will be added to the Great Duga, the Krug Antenna Complex will be partially reworked, and most importantly, the Duga’s electric lightning will now have sound!
Stay tuned for the upcoming update, and thank you for using this mod while you play.

The mod has been updated to version 0.0.6A.

PDA 09.11.2025 /// MESSAGE

[09.11.2025 22:15] This is Kaimanov. Transmitting information to the Kaimanov Group (players) regarding the operation of the Duga facility: after the discovery of important classified documents by the group’s field operatives, it was determined that the Duga’s amplification could be achieved through reactivating the Brain Scorcher and linking the Duga to the Krug Antenna Complex. Thanks to the powerful energy output, the Large Duga has been connected to the power grid. Dear field operatives, please be advised: exercise caution near these facilities!

[09.11.2025 22:17] The current task for the group’s field operatives is to inspect the facilities, record the corresponding readings, and prepare a report. Follow all safety protocols. Psi-emissions are no toy — they’re a real danger!

#

Changes:
-The Small Duga has a visual electric lightning effect and additional lightning sound effects when you’re close to it;
-The Large Duga has an identical electric lightning effect and corresponding sound effects;
-The Krug Antenna Complex is active and accompanied by both sound and visual effects;
-The Brain Scorcher operates partially — only the antennas that were active according to the lore of previous game installments are enabled.
