Color variety for CI bridemaids

Description
Inspired by: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2278298131&searchtext=extended+formal+dress

This mod aims to give more color variety for infected bridemaids from "the passing", however, Nelson's version had colors that were too saturated which clashed to much with some other CI color mods out there, such as Omgot's beta colors our CI double gradients (I plan on releasing Omgot's formal's corrected too because they have a starch blue skin color that's mismatched with their head skin color)

This version is intended to still keep the somber and sickly vibe that regular CI have, but with more color variety than green/black, so we have more color variations and if you happen to use a population mod that include formals, they will also be more varied while being able to blend in better.

Colors included are: Brown, Green, Pale Pink, Lavender, Dark red, Plum (Dark shade of pink), Yellow and silver (which is supposedly a really light shade of blue on the files) (Suggestions to change any of this colors or to retouch their hues are open)

Have fun!

(WARNING: Please be sure to use this mod in at least medium paged pool memory [Graphic settings] because on low the skins seem to bug)

Exported the gradient and imported it back but with Generate Mipmaps turned off. Seems to fix it.

Here's a direct comparison of the error on different paged pool memory settings, I didn't take a third one for high since there wasn't a really noticeable difference on the dresses nor the skin.

I tested the mod with the lower paged pool and yeah, that's what causing the visual bug, the textures get reduced to the most barebone versions of it, however I am baffled at why the skin looks like that because I essentially used the usual common's skin gradient on the file, the colors that are chosen (the ones that make the bug show up) are used to give a mild tint on the infected bodies, to make them look bruised, cold, bloodier, etc, but for some reason on my version this tint gets flattened and overlayed on top of the skin color.

The dresses also suffer from it a bit, the texture gets greatly flattened which makes it more saturated, the exact opposite of what I was aiming for haha

As for now, I don't know how to fix it, I'd recommend you to up the paged pool memory to medium, that seems to be just a temporal fix, but if you know a way to fix it for low paged pool memory, i'm all ears!

Just tested the update, while very rarely skins may properly show up, the majority of them still look all weird.

Thank you for looking into it, if you need any help let me know and I'll see what I can do.

However, something I will mention is that the paged pool memory on my game is set to low, so that may have something to do with this as I remember it did something similar with the construction workers for another common infected mod. That may not help, but I hope it does provide some sort of assistance.

Oh wow, this new Common Infected Color Variety will be gaining new colors than usual for the awesome Palettes

@LittleBigSmoak

I'll extract the files from the workshop version to check what went wrong, all the screenshots on the post were taken using the workshop version so I'm baffled at how these have never showed up on all my playtests, it appears the CI are getting tinted with the wrong sections of "ci_gradient_palette_bridesmaids" on your game, I'll see what I can do since it appears that my version is going throught something similar that Omgot's version of formals went, thanks for reporting it.
