I was wondering if we could add jiggle bones to ZEQ2Lite models or if it already had jiggle bones. To the people who don't know what jiggle bones are: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Jiggle_bones

Interesting find Domo, but I don't think Zeq2lite has them from what I read on wikipedia.

jiggle bones would be nice like for characters maybe it would help with Raditz hair and Super Saiyan 3 hair or for hair altogether I don't know

yeah but isn't that just for the source engine?
the ZEQ2 engine I don't know... it doesn't even have ragdolls or these jiggle bones, but that can be achieved through animations.

The current ZEQ2-lite (and Quake 3) mesh format is MD3. MD3 doesn't use or save bones whatsoever. The models are flattened down to raw vertex snapshots of every single frame. This is why vertex animations work, but also why the files are so large and thus why there is no skeleton.
A mesh format with bone/skeleton support would be needed first. "Jiggle bones" as they label them are really nothing more than normal bones moved in a dynamic manner based on animation/movement velocities. Any mesh format or engine with direct access to bone manipulation can achieve this.

In theory, couldn't the jiggle bone effect be created through animating the bipeds to stop and move realistically?
