Hello,
I'm new to the forums, but not to the game, I've lurked here for a long time.
Anyway, I solved the hullmod crash issue for 0.96 on the .jar by recompiling it with the new library (the author was kind enough to include the source, making it easy). From what I understand however, I will need the author's permission to upload anything like this. If I can get permission, I'd be happy to post a link here.
I havent tested it thoroughly, hullmods don't crash and the weapons/ship seem to be working fine, that doesn't mean things wont go wrong at colony build or what not, but there was no conflict while recompiling the Jar. I did fix a compatability issue with UNGP's latest release, but I don't know if it's effective.
Thank you
