Engine executable. Settings and tools of the game program (CivilizationVI.exe), usable without a mod. Mostly undocumented debug and configuration functionality; descriptions come from analysis of the executable and have not all been tried in the running game.

SpriteOverlayLayer

ForgeUI control type (SpriteOverlayLayer). 5 methods, called on an instance with a colon: Controls.SomeName:Method(...).

C++ base classes (from the exe RTTI, see engine classes): IOverlayLayer. Whether the Lua type also exposes the base class methods was not checked; the methods below are those registered on this type itself.

Method	C++ signature printed by the exe	Lua signature	Owner basis
`ClearAll`	`void ClearAll( void )`	`SpriteOverlayLayer:ClearAll()`	neighbouring methods in the code
`ClearAll`	`void ClearAll( void )`	`SpriteOverlayLayer:ClearAll()`	neighbouring methods in the code
`ClearChannel`	`void ClearChannel( uint )`	`SpriteOverlayLayer:ClearChannel(arg1: integer)`	neighbouring methods in the code
`CreateSpritePath`	—	`SpriteOverlayLayer:CreateSpritePath()`	unique method name
`CreateSprites`	—	`SpriteOverlayLayer:CreateSprites()`	unique method name
