List of unused assets - lets reintroduce the unused art to the game.

Hi, Id like to create a list of unused assets so we know what is in the game, and what is not. There is this old list, but its not sprite/texture specific. It mostly lists the cut features, but is still worthy to mention here (thanks Orbarth) https://web.archive.org/web/20120818125 ... ll/museum/

This is a 1st step to actually reintroduce these assets back in the game, and that is something I really want to see happening. Because I think Daggerfall is huge, and we need to increase the variety of assets you can find around the world. And whats better than using the original art to do so?

PS: If any coders or ppl who see inside the DFU programming part can pull up this list of unused assets from the game, it would be awesome. Is that possible?
Thanks :)

FOUND THE NPC:
1 in taverns
2 (in the Taverns remade mod tho)
6 used in Hazelnuts Archeologist guild
11 used in Main quest - ty Ralzar
12 used by Halzelnuts Mountain rumors Quest
14 used inguilds - ty Ralzar

1st lets start with NPCs. Here is a image with NPCs Im not sure you can meet in the game - They appear unused. Pls let me know which should not be on the list, and if any NPC is missing.

2nd - Daedras - are these 100+ sprites from archive 175 even visible anywhere in the game? It appears to me, there is only the video sequence playing when you summon the daedra? + Can we export/mod that video sequence?

Something that could be interesting in term of unused art is one of a feature that was originally planned but was cut : the dragon
The Dragon
Originally there should have been a huge dragon in the game, not a sprite, but a 3D model. The textures are still on the CD, in TEXTURE.084.

Thanks, that list is nice, I will copy it to opening post. I know about the Dragon, but I did not include it in the list, because its not complete, just a few textures. But for a sake of having the list complete, I will add it.

I like to use unused or rare sprites in my mods, so that's an avenue for them to be incorporated.

1, 2, 11 and 14 are used ingame. Unless this is some kind of variants of the ones used ingame.

1 is in some taverns. 2 is in some houses. 11 is used in the Main Quest. 14 I see here and there in guilds and maybe taverns.

Number 5 does appear to be the Goddess Dibella. Or at the very least a sprite that was later refitted into the statues of Dibella that we can see in the temples. Or one based on said statue. Not quite a proper identification of an NPC sprite, but I thought it should be mentioned nonetheless.
This, of course, doesn't mean that it couldn't be put to use in some other fashion. Or perhaps used in a mod that allows interaction with the divines, if anyone were working on such a thing.
