The original ZEQ2 project was initially started in late 2002 originally as a highly scripted modification of the Bid For Power mod. This attribute makes the project more than simply another DBZ modification as strong capabilities exist for user mod creation exists without need for actual programming. Additionally, there exists a custom from-scratch particle system as well an extended number of configuration files that can be used to control character skills (visually & mechanically), world particle effects, forms / transformations / tiers, music playlists, and other aspects.
ZEQ2-Lite is an open-sourced and mod expandable project based on a highly modified ioQuake3 engine foundation and features many true-to-reference DBZ visuals and mechanics.
