Armor Piercing attacks not functioning as intended.

All Armor Piercing attacks appear to simply not do armor piercing damage. They don't Ignore a creatures Combat Weight or Armor currently. This also applies to all modded creatures currently it seems.
All detonates appear to not deal Armor Piercing damage as well.

Observed Result
I was statting dinos for the Divine Beasts server and noticed that AP attacks weren't Armor Piercing after the recent update. I assumed this was a mod side problem, but even the official playables were not dealing ap damage and were instead dealing their AP damage value as Generic damage. I even used vanilla stats with no altered curves and the AP damage would not function. Mixed AP attacks also are not functioning as intended.
Expected Result
The AP damage should have been Ignoring Armor and Combat Weight. However, after testing with heightened Armor values and Combat Weights I determined that this was simply not the case. A rex with 3 Armor simply took reduced damage in accordance with its additional Armor rather than full damage from AP attacks from both Vanilla and Modded creatures. Tests with creatures of higher Combat Weights such as Argentinosaurus also showed that the damage being dealt was Generic and being treated and reduced as such despite logs saying it was AP.
Steps to Reproduce
Attack any dinosaur with an Armor Piercing attack and Generic damage will be dealt instead.
