I found several (normally) unused images in X-Wing Alliance, but I'm only posting these two right now because I can't animate the bitmaps that easily and the doors would need to be cropped. I was inspired to create this thread after accidentally triggering a screen that I didn't know existed before. Sorry about all the links but I got "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image." when trying to use BBCode.

The XvT create pilot screen's background, saved as FRONTRES/CONCOURSE/CREATE.CBM
Note how it's off center, due to the borders in XvT normally covering it.

Part of the XvT create pilot screen.

This is what the XvT create pilot screen looks like when triggered in XWA.
I managed to accidentally trigger this in X-Wing Alliance by not having my pilot set up before launching XWINGALLIANCE.EXE, then managed to reproduce it by removing the lastpilot line from config.cfg and moving the pilot file out of the folder.

Presumably one of the developers being attacked by both sides...
Saved as FRONTRES/DATAPAD/LH2.CBM
(Is that a normal TIE fighter or some other kind, it looks wider.)

Also there are 3 door files, FRONTRES/CONCOURSE/HANGDOOR.FLC, FRONTRES/CONCOURSE/REGDOOR.CBM, and FRONTRES/CONCOURSE/SECDOOR.CBM.

They all seem to go inside the same concourse, but I can't find the background for it anywhere. They're all animated.

Interesting! :) If I´m not wrong, some satellite opt (not sure now if XWA or XvT) had a picture of baby among the textures...
