Armor Mod no longer working under 1.08b

[TheLastBrunnenG]

The following armor worked fine under 1.06 and earlier but crashes upon loading under 1.08b (I hadn't tried 1.07 or 1.08). Error message is "Crash loading: 0xD001A396", which is the UNID I use for it. Changing its UNID has no effect. Debug log doesn't mention anything. Any ideas what's causing the crash?

armors need to have 2 +0, at the start of hp bonus, thats something i learned while helping WTS make an armor pack

[Atarlost]

They don't need two leading +0s. The kinetic and laser resistant armors have other numbers in those slots.

What they may need is an even number of damagetypes. You have eleven. Try putting another +0 at the end in the singularity slot.

[digdug]

the problem is that you cannot have a hpBonus AND a reflect of the same damagetype or you get that crash error.
What you have to do is to replace the hpBonuses of reflected damagetypes with ***

like this (this one works)

Thanks, digdug! Kudos to all on the swift replies.

Wow, that was obscure... is there somewhere we can document that?

This armor is included in, and works fine under, the current ArmorPack testing version.
