1008 1008  * MD scripts and cues are identified by their names. So a script can only be refreshed if it has the same script name as before (file name is irrelevant).
1009 1009  * If there are new script files or new cue nodes (i.e. scripts/cues with new names) they are created and added properly. If you remove script files or cue nodes, the corresponding scripts/cues are removed from the game, including instances.

1011 1011  * As a consequence, you CANNOT rename scripts or cues if you want to refresh them. Doing so would remove the old script or cue and add a new one with the new name.

1013 1013  * You CANNOT add, remove, or change the "ref" attribute of a cue. But it is possible to remove the whole cue. (If all references to a library are removed you can also remove the library itself.)
