What it does

game.ui.screens.plates

The botanical plates: the five plants, the three forms the blight takes, the four monks as silhouette portraits, and the cloister's own device.

local plates = require("game.ui.screens.plates")

plates.specimen("lightwood", 330)          -- a plant or a blight form
plates.portrait("vespera", 140, { dead = true, tint = "#DB7038" })
plates.emblem(300)                          -- the rose window with the crystal in it
plates.has(id) / plates.hasPortrait(monkId)

Each figure is authored in a 200 x 260 box and scaled by size, so the same specimen prints small on a catalogue row and large on a codex page.

They are drawn as CSS: clip-path polygons, gradients and transforms, layered by absolute position inside a position: relative frame. Nothing here uses the svg widget, which lays out at its declared size and then paints nothing in this build — the renderer reports Missing texture: Managed(N) every frame for it, and gui validate reports the screen as clean.

The portraits are silhouettes on purpose: the four monks are supposed to be told apart by silhouette alone at the gameplay camera, and a portrait that needs its caption to identify its subject has failed the same test the models have to pass. Anselm is one long vertical with the billhook doubling his height; Meridia is a low broad apron; Cassian is a brass backpack with a man under it; Vespera is a slight hood with the censer swung out on its chain.

Interface

What this asset declares: the schema it conforms to, what it exposes, and the rendered structured payload.

zero/source-extract/v2

game.ui.screens.plates — the botanical plates. Every figure the campaign's screens print: the five plants, the three forms the blight takes, and the four monks as silhouette portraits. They are drawn the way a herbarium plate is drawn — one specimen, centred, no scene around it — because that is what the codex and the seed catalogue are pretending to be pages out of. HOW they are drawn: clip-path polygons, gradients and transforms. The `svg` widget lays out and paints nothing in this build (the renderer reports `Missing texture: Managed(N)` every frame for it), so no figure here uses one. CSS shapes cost nothing and rasterize at any size. Each figure is authored in a 200 x 260 box and scaled by `size`, so the same specimen prints small on a catalogue row and large on a codex page.

# game.ui.screens.screenkit The herbarium type case: the colour language, the type scale, the ornaments and the box shapes every authored screen in Verdigris Cloister is built from. ```lua local kit = require("game.ui.screens.screenkit") ``` Two registers, deliberately different so the campaign has range: - **FIELD** — deep green and gold leaf, an illuminated page. `kit.fieldRoot`, `kit.illuminated`, `kit.dropCap`. The title, the briefing and the end cards. - **PLATE** — aged vellum and printed ink, a herbarium sheet. `kit.plateRoot`, `kit.sheet`. The seed catalogue and the codex. `kit.C` is the palette as CSS (derived from `Core.PALETTE`), `kit.T` the size scale, `kit.F` the font families, `kit.O` the printers' flowers, `kit.SHAPE` the clip-path polygons the figures are drawn from. Three things worth knowing before you use it: - **The font family names have no spaces.** `"EBGaramond"` resolves; `"EB Garamond"` falls back silently to the default sans, which is a very quiet way to lose the whole look. `kit.F.italic` is the true italic face, not a synthesised shear. - **`kit.alpha` replaces an existing alpha rather than appending one.** `"#rrggbbaa" .. "aa"` is a ten-digit string the renderer rejects — and one rejected colour takes the rest of that screen's paint down with it, so the page renders as far as the bad node and then stops. - **`kit.motion` is the master switch for every animation constructor.** Edit mode pauses time, so an entrance whose 0% keyframe is `opacity: 0` holds that frame forever there and the page reads as blank while every data query says it is fine. Call `kit.setMotion(engine.mode == "play")` before building a tree. Paragraphs wrap against a container with a **definite width**. `flex = 1` is not one: a wrapping label in a flex box runs off the edge of the frame.
