Additional parameters for the command, or just a reversion in how the command works, would be nice.

If a country is given a country specific song playlist, it doesn't change the music played if war/peace is changed. Thus, I created an event based song playlist change event system based on if a country is at war or peace. Songs changed this way don't play forever. This is for my CG mod specifically.
I see. But this is the way it's supposed to work in vanilla.
I just added events-triggered speeches (don't spread the word :happy
. When the speech is over, the game reads the war/peace playlist again.
But feel free to suggest syntax extension for this command. I will log it on our Mantis but don't expect this to be done anytime soon. Martin already has a 200+ planned features list..

I see. Didn't think of speeches...hmm.....I do have a .mkv audio ripper software and audacity to lift Charles zi Britannia's speech....but I digress, CG is on the backburner for a while.
It's fine if this isn't worked on for a while, just that song worked differently in Hoi2:ArmA. I look forward to 200 improvements.
2 ways to approach my suggestion which would achieve what I am looking for
Option A:
-Expand song command to have an optional parameter (ex. when = 0/1) and a second one (where = 0/1) that repeats indefinitely and shuffles the playlist.
Option B:
-Create two country specific war/peace playlist command/scenario parameter (which is essentially what my event based music system is doing). I already wrote why song = "playlist.txt" in a .eug doesn't work well (especially since one must define that for a suggested country and I don't think its possible to define it for a non-suggested country or emerging country...for the latter, it'd probably be best for it to be event based command). Basically this would change the war/peace playlist for a country, making my event chain obsolete for CG, but adding a working flavor feature.
ex: command = warsong
command = peacesong
alternatively, this could be added to song:
command = song what = 0/1/2 # 0 = speech/current, 1 = changes peacetime, 2 = changes wartime.
