[/h4] The refund policy is currently set up to closely mimic the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/]consumer version[/url] (2 weeks/2 hours). Site license accounts will be able to purchase commercial packages multiple times or in quantity so the 2 weeks/2 hours clock starts ticking at the first purchase event. For example, if they purchased L4D and then 3 weeks later purchased another copy of L4D, a refund request would be denied because the first copy is more than 2 weeks old. If they instead purchased their second copy only 1 week after the first copy, both purchases could be refunded provided there was less than 2 combined hours of playtime on the licenses.

After you activate an action such as "assign_group" or "add_remove_group", the game's programming will wait until an action such as "group_0" or "group_3" is pressed. "assign_group" + "group_2" means, "assign the current selection to group 2," whereas "select_group" + "group_5" means, "select everything currently assigned to group 5." This sort of thing has to be implemented by the game's own logic, but it's much simpler than creating individual action permutations for each slot, ie "add_remove_group_2", "assign_group_2", "select_group_2", etc... Additionally, the Unit commands have the special action "queue.…
