Need help understanding aspects of creating sponsors.

[TheAhn1995]

I've just recently decided to start getting into modding civ be and im currently working on a multi-part mod for the game. the first part I want to be used as a alternative overhaul to the vanilla sponsors. right now im working on ARC first and thanks to the guide by GravityGames I've been able to make it to where the mod appears in the mod section like its supposed to. now my question is: since ive only taken the steps to essentially make it appear and not changed anything yet, is it supposed to show up in a different spot then ARC in the selection screen when setting up a game like a copy of it or does it "replace" the ARC in the selection screen?

Depends on what you do. If you mean this guide, then you will create a new sponsor, that one does not show how to overhaul an existing sponsor.

then what would show me how to overhaul a existing one?

Don't really know a guide for that specifically, but Kael's modding guide is good at teaching the basics of general Civ 5 modding (works mostly the same for BE). As soon as you know the basics, you should be able to figure out the rest of the stuff by looking at other mods that already do similar stuff - like JFDs Sponsors Revised or my Awesome Sponsors - Overhaul. (JFDs code is probably a lot cleaner and should be the preferred choice, but he uses a lot of lua + slq that will probably not be too helpful if you're just starting out)
