During their work on the CombatExtended-Continued/CombatExtended repository, J. Hidson focused on improving user experience and historical accuracy within the game’s modding framework. They addressed a UI label inconsistency by updating the VFEC_Shield_Heavy_CE item from "kite shield" to "tower shield," ensuring alignment between the user interface, item description, and historical context. This change involved a precise data patch and an update to the ThingDefs_Shields.xml file, leveraging their skills in game development and XML. The work, tracked in a single commit, enhanced data consistency and supported future localization efforts, demonstrating careful attention to detail in modding practices.
