Are they from Jison's mod? Is it possible to just take the art from that mod and use in in the standard game and the Volcano mods?
Yes this is from Jisons excellent mod, installing it will overwrite the standard artwork and VM's (if loaded) i would assume?
But you don't have to load everything, for instance i prefer the standard counters and so didn't load that part of Jison's work, so in the end it is completely your choice as to just how your title looks.
That's exactly right Foul. - When using any mod it is all in the sequencing as to when you paste them in to your folders as to what they overwrite. The last one always takes precedence -and that is exactly how Jison's would work. The most efficient manner to manage that would be to -if you want to use VM's art -leave off any of the national folders when one goes to paste it in to the folder.
Nitram Draw: The answer is yes it can be unzipped in its own folder. If you are using 7-zip I think that you can tell it to extract the folders in to a folder titled the same as the zipped folder - then go in there and just pick and choose what folders and/or files you want to use. It is all sort of trial by error. In my case I do a lot of switching around -I just take the stock folders and rename them say: !Map or whatever -and leave them in the game's folder on my HD.

There is a need for a good comprehensive 'how to' work with mods article -as they all basically work in the same way, and a lot of guys see them and want to know how to use them. It is something that will get done eventually. And in my case, I need a set of clones ... but yeh lots of material - never going to run out of it I think.
