[GS] Fix for Jersey System

[Tiramisu]

The new Jersey System for the civ colors is causing a bug, that makes some civ colors become transparent, whenever there are too many civs on the map:

I found out that the function UI.GetPlayerColors in CityBannerManager.lua is returning nil for the red- green and blue-values for those civilizations that became transparent. Of course I could try to modify CityBannerManager.lua in order to assign new color values for those nil values, but that might cause incompatibilities with UI-mods that are changing the same UI-script. Also I am not able to access the PlayerColors table in Lua, because it is wrapped in a <Database> environment in the xml-files.

So instead of using lua I tried to change the xml values directly. I wanted to see if the bug still occurs if I simply assigned the default colors to the alternative colors in order to disable the Jersey System. Therefore I used the following sql-code:

UPDATE PlayerColors SET Alt1PrimaryColor = PrimaryColor WHERE Alt1PrimaryColor IS NOT NULL;
UPDATE PlayerColors SET Alt1SecondaryColor = SecondaryColor WHERE Alt1SecondaryColor IS NOT NULL;
UPDATE PlayerColors SET Alt2PrimaryColor = PrimaryColor WHERE Alt2PrimaryColor IS NOT NULL;
UPDATE PlayerColors SET Alt2SecondaryColor = SecondaryColor WHERE Alt2SecondaryColor IS NOT NULL;
UPDATE PlayerColors SET Alt3PrimaryColor = PrimaryColor WHERE Alt3PrimaryColor IS NOT NULL;
UPDATE PlayerColors SET Alt3SecondaryColor = SecondaryColor WHERE Alt3SecondaryColor IS NOT NULL;

The problem is that I get a load error warning in the modding log for this sql-file. It seems like assigning new values for alternative colors like Alt1PrimaryColor is causing errors, but I do not know why.

So now I am stuck with this bugged jersey system which does not do any good. I would appreciate any ideas that might fix my problems.

I don't have any suggestions for you other than to say that this mod seems to have fixed the transparency issues for me. Some civs will have the same colors, but I prefer that to none at all

Let me know how you get on... I am stuck with the new values for alternative colours like Alt1PrimaryColor is causing errors also, should like to fathom how to easily change them, as so many of my mods really on it.

The Prismatic mod takes care of this.
